  • 4/5 George P. 5 years ago on Google
    We stayed on the first floor in a room with shared bathroom. The room and bathroom were very clean and were taken care of very often during the day. In four days we had twice our linen changed. Breakfast was decent including fresh juice. All people working there were professional, something difficult to find in Zanzibar ( from My experience). I would definitely recommend Jambo Guesthouse for a stay in Stone town!

    The guest house is within Stone Town in Mkunazini area, near to a number of famous restaurant like Lukman and Mediterraneo restaurant. The rooms are clean, equipped with Air Conditioner, the area is quiet and peaceful. The prices are affordable and staff are friendly. I had a nice stay.

    If you are looking for a budget room in Stone Town, Jambo Guest House is okay. For $15 or $20 you get a bed with fan and a/c, WiFi, shared toilet and hot shower, and a simple breakfast. It's fairly clean and quiet and not too many mosquitoes. It's not the grand vizier's old residence but it's okay for the money.

    one of the worst hotels we have been to in Tanzania. way too expensive for the service, breakfast is nothing special, rooms are not beautiful at all

    This is a wonderful budget guesthouse serving a most delicious and filling breakfast to get you going. The staff is very kind and welcoming they always tend to your needs and help your visit be comfortable. The water is hot for nice showering after touring all day. and the air conditioning along with the ceilngfan is most welcome. A very quiet place no traffic, not many tourists come this way even though it's only 2 minutes walk from one of the main roads where you can pick up a very economical and good nutritional lunch or dinner. You are only a 7 minute walk from the old fort and beach and to the night food stalls of Forodhani. If you want a comfortable safe quite and budget place, one night or even weeks like me! Then this is for you.

    Good stay, clean rooms and bathroom. Hot shower. Fair price. Friendly staff. Good location in the centre of Stone Town. They organise transports with professional staff for good touristic prices. Breakfast is very basic with eggs, fruit, bread, jam and butter but this is standard here.

    Good quality/price, free pickup from the airport if you stay 2 nights.you can also leave staff for some days if you want to go to another part of the island. Offers tours :spice tour, prison tour and so on. It has a nice place where to eat or have a juice just in front of. Breakfast is included.

    The staff was fully at our disposal, and very kind with us. They even accept to bring us back to the airport by night, although they didn't have to. Rooms are correct, the breakfast is great !

😠 Terrible!! When we arrived the hotel was under construction with workers all over the place. Our room was not yet ready and we had to wait on a dusty bench in the middle of the chaos. There was loud construction noise throughout the whole day, it was dirty and dusty. Our room was superficially clean...

😠 Dangerous place ! I contacted Zanzi House by WhatsApp in order to book a room with airport pick up since we were landing in Zanzibar late in the night. I thought it would be safer to book a taxi via our hotel rather than finding one randomly at the airport at night. The taxi picked us up (two women...
