    spacious room
    poor security
    shabby reception

    spacious room, functional air conditioning

    The location feels isolated, difficult luggage transfer on foot!!! Shabby reception area with peeling paint, worn-out floors, and inadequate security measures!!! Stairs are steep and narrow, not ideal for heavy suitcases!!!

    The hotel had perfect and magnificent location not far from the ferry, and the Centre of the old town. My single room had modern conveniences, including climate control, a safe, and tea and coffee making facilities. The staff were superfriendly and friendly and were always there to help;)))

    Sadly, but there was mould in some areas.

    cozy room

    It was just a prime choice for a weekend excursion in Zanzibar with good value considering price it charged. The cozy mix of traditional and modern decor in my room made it feel cute and homey. Be ready for some stair climbing upon arrival and departure.

    The single room was spacious with a cozy mix of traditional and modern decor. Loved the comfy beds and quiet AC, made for good rest. Location was perfect for exploring Stone Town. Jay, the staff member, was super helpful with anything we needed. It felt genuinely cute. The curtains let in too much light in the morning was good.

    Charming Stay in the Heart of Stone Town

    The traditional charm was nice, while the staff's friendly nature stood out. Enjoyed the clean room with great Wi-Fi and the terrace filled with plants was a bonus. I felt safe walking nearby, even at night. A small tip, be ready for some stairs!

    fantastic staff

    Perfect for a romantic getaway

    The staff was super friendly,, especially this guy named Jay. He went out of his way to help us with everything we needed, seriously. The room was spacious and had this mix of traditional charm and modern comfort, seemed like a real cozy hideout. Plus, we loved the terrace on the top floor with great views to chill together.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for, I suppose.

    spacious room
    good terrace
    comfortable air conditioning
    noisy street

    Emerald Palm offers a unique and cozy experience with its spacious room, good terrace filled with plants, and comfortable air conditioning. The friendly staff, especially Rashid, were helpful, ensuring a warm welcome and even assisting with luggage. Breakfast was nicely available just steps away in a nearby restaurant.

    Noisy street.

    The rooms at Emerald Palm are absolutely stunning! The private bathrooms are clean and provide all the necessary toiletries. The city view from some rooms is breathtaking. As someone who enjoys a cozy and well-equipped room, I was delighted to find air conditioning and an electric kettle in the single room. The soundproofing in the twin room ensured a peaceful night's sleep. Oh, and the sofa in the single room was a nice touch too. The bathrobes provided an extra touch of luxury, making me feel like a VIP. the rooms were comfortable and had everything I needed for a fantastic stay.

    Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the wardrobe in the room. It might sound silly, but I found it a bit small for my liking.
