Shoki Shoki House Stone Town Reviews

The staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Great location, interesting breakfast (albeit a la carte), classic design, attentive staff. Classic city hotel. For a relatively low price, quite acceptable. Recommended for accommodation

It's in a great location in the center of town. I was able to walk to anywhere in Stone Town. The room I stayed in had one queen-size bed. It was a room, but it had no windows and was very dark, so I don't recommend staying in the room during the day. I don't recommend staying in the room during the day. There was a turndown service, and they sprayed the room with nuts and insect repellent at night. Breakfast was included, but you could choose from three types, and it was very filling and very satisfying.

Good location in the old town, the room is a bit small, average

generally…….

The location of the hotel is acceptable, the main value for money

If you're searching for a true home away from home in Zanzibar, look no further than Shoki Shoki House—a hidden gem where comfort meets culture in the most heartwarming way. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed with genuine smiles and hospitality that makes you feel like family. Their on-site restaurant is spotlessly clean, offering freshly prepared breakfast each morning that bursts with flavor and care. The food? Absolutely mouthwatering! Every bite is packed with taste, and you truly get excellent value for your money. The rooms are cozy, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with private, sparkling-clean toilets and showers that are refreshed each evening, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay. We had an unforgettable experience—peaceful, authentic, and full of charm. Highly recommended!

Thank you Shoki Shoki for the lovely stay and kind service. We will be sure to return if we are in Stone Town. Everything was to our liking from the airport pickup and tour booking services, large spacious rooms with baby cot for our toddler, fresh and filling breakfast and kind personnel.

We stayed at Shoki Shoki House for one night to explore Stone Town before heading to Jambiani. We booked a Deluxe Double Room (Room 1) on the ground floor. Upon arrival, we couldn't enter our room immediately as the room had just been sprayed with insecticide for mosquitos, so we had to wait around 20 minutes in reception. The reception staff were friendly, and the room itself was clean and comfortable, though quite basic. A nice touch was the complimentary minibar, which was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the biggest downside was the noise during the night. Firstly, there was noise from the streets outside which didn't bother us too much, but then at around 3:30 am, we were woken up by loud banging and moving sounds right outside our room, which sounded like maintenance or repairs. This lasted around 30 minutes, and I struggled to get back to sleep after that. Breakfast the next morning was very good, with food cooked to order, plus a starter of fresh fruit and pastries. There was plenty of food and a nice way to start the day. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the centre of Stone Town, close to the beach and main sights, making it a great base for exploring. After checking out, we appreciated that the hotel stored our luggage for us while we wandered around.

The attention to detail was spot on. Felt so welcome and spoilt!! Fantastic service and facilities. Very clean, well put together, the staff really do go the extra mile. A gem hidden away, definitely a must stay in stone Town. Highly recommended!

Amazing hotel, wonderful and friendly staff! The breakfast food was fantastic. The staff helped us coordinate outings and was very helpful. Overall it was a great experience and we are pleased that we stayed here. I can’t recommend this hotel higher!

Great hotel. Well located to walk everywhere in Stonetown. Amazing staff and excellent included breakfast. Would recommend for short or long stay. Marion at the reception is very friendly and efficient. Rooms nicely decorated and lots of hot water.

Nice and cozy hotel in the centre of Stonetown. Short way to the beach and night market. Room and bathroom clean, and free and good bath amenities. Strong and free internet, very tasteful breakfast, friendly and service minded staff. Only negative thing is lack of view from the room.

Nice and affortable hotel, very central in Stonetown. Just a short walk from the nightmarked and beachfront. No view whatsoever from the room. Good breakfast, free and strong internet, our own small and fenced balcony and very friendly staff.
