Tembo Palace Hotel

I loved the authenticity and history of the facility. Very clean and gives you the energy Arabic emperor design. The breakfast was perfect. The location you could not beat. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. They allowed us to have a later checkout which was very helpful.

Perfect location on the beach in Stone Town with all the amenities you need. The staff were very helpful. The decor is lovely and we enjoyed two pools. The breakfast selection was expansive. We had a big family room in a nearby building with a bathroom that was huge. On the last day, we stored our bags at the hotel while we did a morning tour of Prison Island. Great place to stay.

At breakfast we especially liked spiced coffee .... and the guy who was making omelettes and the girl making pancakes. In general, all the staff was polite and funny, making jokes but not being intrusive at the same time. The hotel has a certain flair to it...perhaps its history has to do with it. Had lobster for lunch which was super good and normal price.

Rooms were very clean. They have different buildings so I guess that the more expensive rooms are in the main one. They have also three pools and a nice restaurant with sea view.

Hotel is fantastic and a real gem. Perfect location on the beach and right in the heart of stone town - next to the night markets for cheap street food. Staff were great, especially Ali. 3 different pools to choose from and breakfast selection was incredible.
