At first it was a bit hard to memorize the location of the hotel, but it was easy to learn, and the staff were super friendly. Cars can't drive to the hotel, but tuktuks can. My room didn't have a window and AC smelled a bit bad, yet it was a nice room despite those. Hotel also have a nice gym. The breakfast was super good with nice views on the roof. Everything was close. ##### Petra Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keisha 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Amenities In the heart of zanzibar! Fantastic staff.

The pool is the size a jacuzzi, no seats around the baby splash pool. I had no hot water and the tv did not a connect. The free internet is null and void. Connectivity to the internet was poor for both new gets that I stay at Spice Palace. Heed this warning and stay elsewhere. The breakfast served each morning was horribly! ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angelique 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities We booked this hotel via Expedia and stayed 2 nights. The best thing about this hotel is location. It is in the middle of Stone Town, walking distance to all the attractions (Freddie Mercury museum, slave market, churches, spice market, old port). There are a lot of shops and many restaurants around the corner. We walked a lot on our own and it is very safe during the day. People are friendly. The roof top restaurant has view of Stone Town. I arranged pick up from airport and they were great. They also took us to our resort in Nungwi and I think there price is better than taxi or service from Nungwi. The room is very nice and clean. Breakfast is good too. The downside, there are constructions in other buildings surrounding this hotel. And our room is next to the street. So it is very noisy all day and night. People on the streets are talking into 2-3 in the morning and the loud speaker from a mosque near by starts at 5am. People staying in the hotel coming into the hotel until 2-3 am. So I didn’t get much sleep here. There was a mixed up for our breakfast. Hotel has record that we did book with breakfast. But the rooftop restaurant did not receive our booking. So they refused letting us in even when I showed my booking information from Expedia. The front desk had to work through the 2 management systems to solve this problem. It took so long by the time they solved this miscommunication, breakfast time was almost over so we had to rush to get some food. ##### Angelique Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stella 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The people who worked there were very nice, helpful, and personable. ##### stella Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Victoria 6 Jun 2025 Nice lobby, pool and cafe area.
