Good mid range hotel

Lovely apartment set back off the road and across the road from the main (& slightly more noisy!) hotel. It has its own pool and the rooms are more private than the main hotel. Rooms are large with aircon - simple design but beds are comfortable. Staff helpful and friendly

Great hotel in centre of stone town

Great little Annex hotel, to the main hotel tembo house (less than 1 minute walk between the 2) We had a family room which had 3 large double beds and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. Breakfast was very nice, with a varied selection. Pool facilities and restaurant were both great. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The front of house manager (Kassim?) provided a great service and they assisted us with advice and helped arrange activities in stone town. Would definitely stay again!

Seamless check in with exceptional service. I failed to do my due diligence and got a room that faced alleys with adjacent dwellings that had much desirable walls requiring paint and garbage below. I would still recommend Tembo Hotel but ensure you select one with city view and/or balcony as the property does have multiple sections. Don't hesitate to reach out to them as they do respond back. People in general are very humble and respectful.

The check in and the service by staff was exceptional. I would, however, advice any guests planning to stay at this hotel to ensure they select the section which provides a balcony and/or city view. I missed doing my due diligence and ended up in a room with pretty bad views of the alley where one can see garbage also. The hotel was fully booked hence nothing else was avaliable for us to switch. Otherwise I would recommend this hotel and the plus point being Forodhani was within walking distance. Safe with no issues. People in Zanzibar are humble and respectful.
