I stopped in the Mashariki Palace Hotel for just one night. It was far too short. An excellent and competitively priced venue. Good service, attention to detail by the owner, and excellent fare. I have seldom enjoyed such a good steak. I will be back for longer the next time, both to enjoy the hotel and explore the island some... More

We stayed at Mashariki for only one night on the way out of Zanzibar. The hotel is an exquisitely restored palace where every room is unique. The best thing about the design is the restraint exercised by the decorators - everything is gloriously simple but feels stylish and luxurious. We paid for the cheapest (Dajarani) room and it was small... More

Wonderful staff, really quiet and tranquil hotel in the middle of Stone Town. Centrally located near just about everything but very quiet and romantic. Large rooms, hotel bar, massage/solar area, and restaurant on the rooftop. Glad we stayed at this hotel rather than others. If you get a chance definitely do a Safari Blue day tour, eat at the Indian... More

This is one of the most tastefully beautiful hotels I've ever seen. Set in the heart of historic Stone Town, this building has been completely renovated with grace and modern Italian style while still being true to the Arab and African influences that make Zanzibar such a fascinating place. Amazing. Rashana and Renaulto, the Italian couple who manage the hotel,... More

Wow, this hotel is one of the best hotels ever seen in my entire life of travelling. My wife and I stayed couple of days. It was like a palace: vast, light and airy, and furnished with impeccable taste. Renato the general manager was helpful, friendly and made the difference. We had a huge room with a fantastic sea view... More

We spent only one night at Mashakiri, on the way to Coastal resorts. If we went back we would definitely send more night. Rooms and common spaces with a 'soul', each space is individually designed and has a mixture of Italian and middle-eastern touch that makes it unique. The Italian management is always present and extremely helpful. Unfortunately we had... More

Beautiful place and welcoming memorable. This is one of the few hotels we stayed where kindness,class and attention to detail are a set harmonious and pleasant. The rooms are very nice and spacious( stayed in # 15) and the staff is incredibly attentive and discrete. We dined by candlelights on the silent and romantic terrace,food was delicious. Everything was perfect,the... More
