Wouldnt recommend this hotel from our experience, as recon you could find much better for the price range. Rooms large, no view, entrance in a small alley. My husband and I were dying for a shower on arrival after travelling for 24hours. The water wasn't hot, the shower head snapped off the wall and the bathroom ended up saturated. We... More

I stayed a week and the staff was very friendly. We had a lot of great conversations and laughs. while there I came down with the flu and Alex from the front desk sent Ali up to my room to check up on me. He came saw I was sleeping and ok and reported back. This, to me represents real... More

A little late adding as we were there in October. Room was nice and large; we only ate at there for breakfast but all was fine with good views over Stone Town. Staff always friendly and helpful and the room kept clean. Any issues we had were resolved straight away (mainly down to power cuts Stone Town wide). Out of... More

Central to everything in Stone Town and great views from the roof-top restaurant - it is one of the highest buildings. We stayed three nights. Room was fine with interesting old decor, king-size bed with mosquito net, good aircon, and the bathroom was fine. But remember to turn off the hot water as it was making funny noises when left...

Stayed here for 3 nights and I can recomend for short stay. Clean, nice people, air-con working, good breakfast on top restaurant with view of the city. You can use safe box for free. There is a Lemon Spa next to it, so you can spend some time relaxing for a decent price. There is no lift but they take... More

Stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The hotel is in the middle of stone town, no car can reach the place so you've to walk about 50meters or so. It is safe even during the night and the hotel staff will help you of your luggages. Rooms are very large with Arab decor and furniture. Bathrooms are ok. The... More

I've stayed at the Chavda twice with 6 years between stays. The hotel has not changed anything since then which for the price is disappointing. The first time I stayed as a tourist and found it o.k. this time I'm here on business and I had to move out after two days because it is not able to accommodate such... More

Given its in Stone Town and in Zanzibar,Tanzania, this is a nice hotel. I would recommend it for the price. We negotiated the price down to 100 US$ per night from 120. They allowed you to pay in US dollars or Tshillings. You must remember there are NO brand new hotels in Stone Town. Some have been refurbished and this... More

We recently stayed at Chavda Hotel as a resident on business in Zanzibar. We found the rates very reasonable for the standard of the rooms and the service we received. Rooms are spacious and loved the option of being allowed to either bath or shower, that is very rare in Zanzibar. Though the rooms were great I felt that the... More
