Facade/entrance in Dhow Palace Hotel
The Dhow Palace is a historic building in the heart of Stonetown and a 15 minute walk to almost anywhere in the old centre of the city, less if you don’t get lost. I have stayed there twice before and have always been impressed by the friendliness of the welcome and helpfulness of the staff. It is looking smarter than when I last stayed there and they have added a roof terrace, which I never got round to visiting. They have also expanded to create a set of apartments in a building 20 metres or so from the main entrance and I stayed in one because it offered much more space for roughly the same price. It consisted of a kitchen/lounge with a sink and a kettle but no other facilities for self-catering, a very large bedroom, and a decent sized bathroom with a magnificent shower set in an enclosed pedestal. The a/c was good and the only downside was that the windows overlooked what looked like a building site, although there was little evidence of work. I heard but did not see goats. Luckily the kids didn’t keep me up at night. I would recommend the apartments. They do not have quite the historic feel of the main building but that is more than compensated for by the extra space. The apartment building also features a fantastically ornate traditional door, complete with protruding studs which are apparently designed to deter charging elephants. As ever, the staff were outstanding, arranging an early check-in and retrieving a pair of bathing trunks which fell out of my window, where they were drying, onto an inaccessible roof.

Dhow Palace Hotel is exquisite! The interior is beautifully decorated. Every corner is adorned with stunning treasures, creating just the most magical atmosphere. The location is also superb! You can walk to all major sightseeing locations. The food is also impeccable! But what really makes Dhow Palace Hotel special is the staff. They are incredibly courteous and kind and go to great lengths to ensure a pleasant stay for their guests. I really truly felt at home while I was there and can't wait to go back again. Special thanks to Haji Ali, and Shaisu Dau who ensured I was able to see Zanzibar comfortably and safely through reliable guides and drivers.

A beautiful, classic and unique hotel in a convenient location to walk to shops, the waterfront and central Stone Town. The facilities are gorgeous and the breakfast buffet has an extensive mix of local and European offerings. The room we had was very large -- a 2-room suite and balcony looking onto a side street. Would highly recommend. Note that one should be able to walk up stairs to access this hotel best. The tub/shower combo was a gorgeous tiled masterpiece and the AC was welcomed.

Dhow Palce Hotel is an amazing, unique hotel, full of endless charm and character. It is very central and within easy walking distance of most of the key cultural points of interest in Stone town. All the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, My room was spacious and clean, and the restuarant served delicious food throughout the day. As a solo traveller I felt very realaxed and at home. I hightly rate and recommend Dhow Palace Hotel, and can’t wait to visit again.

Amazing hotel in local style, right in the center of Stone Town with friendly staff. The beautifully decorated interiors reflect the rich Swahili and Arabic heritage, creating an authentic and charming atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped with traditional wooden furniture and modern amenities, offering both comfort and character.
