Tembo B&B Apartments, hotel in Zanzibar City

Boasting an outdoor swimming pool and a 24-hour front desk, Tembo B&B Apartments is attractively situated in Zanzibar City, 600 metres from The Zanzibar Curio shop and 1.1 km from Peace Memorial...

The location of the hotel is really convenient. Although we stayed at the BB apartments which are not in the main building, we did not expecience any problems. There was always security at the front door which felt safe because Stone town can be a little bit scary to walk around alone especially at night. Enjoyed the breakfast by the sea!

    The location is ideal, right in the centre of Stone town, on the beach with a beautiful view of the sunset. One of the few hotels in Stone town with a pool (3 pools to be precise), one of which overlooks the beach. The breakfast was tasty, with a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean, with good air conditioning.

    The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!
