    outdoor pool
    atm fees
    steps access

    nice little pool, spacious bathroom, rooftop terrace

    Charges like a 5% ATM fee and increases in room prices without notice are unacceptable!!! Access to the hotel could be challenging for elderly guests due to three steps at the entrance!!!

    spacious rooms
    rooftop bar
    noisy atmosphere
    variable service

    For anyone thinking about this

    A stay here is full of mixed experiences. The rooms are spacious and the rooftop bar is a delightful retreat offering great views. In the heart of Stone Town, it's easy to explore nearby attractions, though noise can be disruptive at times. Service was hit-or-miss, which could impact your visit significantly.

    rooftop bar
    spotty wi-fi

    The outdoor pool was a perfect escape after a long day, and I especially loved lounging on the sun terrace. There was a minor hiccup with the Wi-Fi being a bit spotty at times, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment. Definitely check out the rooftop bar for stunning views! 🌅

    friendly staff
    pool view

    nice hotel but the pool is small.

    The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful during our stay! The hotel looks appealing with well-maintained surroundings. The pool view is refreshing and perfect for a quick dip after a long day.

    great location
    helpful staff
    well-maintained facilities

    i had a great stay at spice palace! the location is fantastic, right in the center of stone town. the outdoor pool was refreshing, and the hotel kept everything well-maintained. habiba at the reception was super helpful, even guiding us on local transport options to explore more. great value for money!

    the first-floor rooms can smell a bit musty.

    poor breakfast
    limited variety

    Had a nice stay, but the breakfast was pretty poor, not much variety at all. Rooftop views were a highlight, though! Chur for the cookies in my room!

    unreliable wi-fi
    room comfort

    i had a great experience at spice palace during my short stay in zanzibar. the rooftop restaurant provided stunning evening views while i enjoyed delicious local dishes. the room was cozy, and i appreciated the cookies left for me each night, making it feel extra special.

    wi-fi connection was a bit unreliable.
