Clean hotel in the middle of the Stone Town
It is a colorful and safe place with smiling staff. The breakfast is generous. It is very nice that they have drinking water, also hot water and tea bags available throughout the day. AC works in the room, which is very helpful in the African heat. The only thing that Tanzanians cannot get right is plumbing. The shower in some rooms sprinkles water in all directions and leaks from the pipe junction. Otherwise, it is a good place to stay.

Shaba boutique was in the middle of Stonetown on a beautiful and bustling street but not a loud street. The hotel staff was amazing, room was wonderful and general feel of the hotel was great. It is a no frills hotel and doesn’t serve lunch or dinner (but it does have a delicious breakfast) but we really enjoyed our stay there.

10/10 Exceptional

Couldn’t fault anything! Such a lovely and very boutiquey hotel with extremely comfortable beds. The staff were great - we arrived very late due to delayed flight but were welcomed and shown everything in the room. Breakfast was delicious - great fruit platters, decent coffee, lovely omelettes and probably best chapatis I’ve had anywhere. And breakfast staff also super friendly. Finally - they have a water and hot drinks station outside the rooms so you can help yourself - lovely touch. If there was one small negative it’s that although it’s very central I hadn’t realised that you have to walk about 5-10 minutes from a car drop off point - that’s fine if you have wheeled luggage but we didn’t!
