    - the three wheel transport mode i enjoyed those rides. - Stonetown buildings are a vintage but lacks maintenance, it makes the area look a bit untidy. Also the rusted roofing or corrugated sheets makes the aaerial view not beautiful. Painting them and the buildings will bring an added beauty to the image of stonetown.

    Friendly people with a lot of places to visit. However there is a lack of food prices diversity. Most good food is somehow expensive and the cheapest food was bad. However my favourite place to eat during evening was at the small restaurant near the Mkunazini Anglican Cathedral where delicious rice dishes are served. Couples can enjoy the tours to Prison Island and around Stone town

    I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.

    Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood. For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

    It‘s always good to have an AC and towels at the pool. The beach and city center (night market) is really near to the hotel. The pickup from the airport was on time and well organized. The staff is friendly and we could text them months before arriving with any questions. The breakfast was good: juices, fruits, fresh omelettes and crepes, cereals and even hot food like potatoes. We were at the apartements in another house near to the main hotel. If you need the beach and the pool nextdoor, remember to book the main hotel.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Emerson on Hurumzi. All the staff are so professional and genuinely friendly, the hotel and the rooms are beautifully designed, and the location is great, right in the middle of the city. We experienced the rooftop dinner on our first night and it was one of the highlights of our holiday. The food was excellent and the atmosphere among the guests, staff, and entertainers was unforgettable. If you're planning to stay in Stone Town, then Emerson on Hurumzi is your only option!

    Staff was kind and helpful. Especially bar tenders were flexible for special requests and they tried to do their best. Our package was all inclusive. Selection of drinks were quite enough for this package. Hotel's location is little far from airport but it is exactly somewhere middle of the jungle. I can say I generally liked the atmosphere right over there and Swimming pool options were fine. Room was okay. Especially I liked the balcony with garden view. Breakfast and Lunch menus were satisfying.

    Incredible value for money. Generous comfortable room, with a fabulous bed + AC, fan and fridge. Location is perfect for exploring Stone Town. The staff were wonderful, and accommodated a late check out as no one was arriving to stay in our room that day. Highly recommend their sister restaurant Archipelago, delicious food (the King Fish and Prawns were amazing) beautifully located on the beach front to watch the sun set, and romantically lit at night.

The lunch chicken biryani meal at the restaurant was super 👌.

    In Stone Town it is difficult to find a quiet hotel/guesthouse at a budget-friendly price. Retro offers that! It's next to a hospital grounds, so it's quiet and surrounded by lots of greenery. It is a very charming interior (main hall, breakfast room, entrance area)! The room itself was decent, no modern amenities but functional incl. wifi.
