“Best place to stay in Stone Town”

Reviewed June 14, 2013 NEW

This was my second time staying at Warere House, and I'm so glad I came back. I was attracted to it initially because of how close it was to the port, and the great price - but there is so much more. It's tucked away off the main road so it's nice and quiet, save for the birds chirping and... More

“Friendly, helpful and clean”

Reviewed June 12, 2013

Thank you to those at Warere Town House for a lovely night's stay. The hotel is charming and within walking distance of the main market and restaurant area of Stone Town. Breakfast is served on a sweet roof terrace by very kind staff. A great place to stay

Hi Chloe, thank you for taking the time to review the Warere. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Karibuni tena! More

“Clean, safe and good place to stay!”

Reviewed June 9, 2013

I reserved online before and had pleasant email contact, we went to Nungwi first and they arranged transport for us and kept in touch through SMS, very friendly and helpful staff. It is located near the old port and a 10 min walk to Stonetown, but definitely worth it. No noise at night, we slept fantastic!

“too crowded”

Reviewed May 30, 2013

i was going to stay for two days but instead we left after the first night. the rooms were too full of things, the double room had one huge bed and one single bed that took up most of the space in the room. the sink had a weird wooden panel over it that hindered using it. and the bathroom... More

Dear Quacker29, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry we did not meet your expectations. Most of our guests really enjoy our large double room with balcony. Indeed two of these rooms do not have bathroom doors as the design of the old building does not allow for this, but the bathroom is not... More

“Great location, great atmosphere”

Reviewed May 28, 2013

We stayed in Warere just for one night. When we opened the doors to our room we were nicely surprised. The beds were huge with mosquitos nets, the materace very comfortable, and I really liked the way the room was furnished. We had a little balcony where we could sit after dark, enjoying the fresh air. Also the shower was... More

Dear Monika G, thank you for your lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, the view from the terrace, and the spacious double room. Karibuni tena when you are next in Zanzibar! More

“Great deal”

Reviewed May 25, 2013

The price is really great. Place is clean and close to all the attractions. Room was a bit small and the internet would only work sporadically. ToiletBreakfast was delicious, although I had to fight the flies away. I was annoyed when the airport pick-up wasn't there. I had changed my arrival time (came in the night before rather than the...

Hi Melyssa, thank you for reviewing us! I am glad you enjoyed the breakfast and found we offer good value for money. I am sorry about the missed airport pickup, due to your last minute change of plans. We had a large group checking in the day you left, which is why we couldn't offer you a later check out.... More

“Solid, Comfortable Budget Accommodation”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

I stayed here for a total of four nights and I really enjoyed my stay. The staff is superb in every way and immediately made me feel comfortable. The hotel or "townhouse" is in an attractive Arabesque building, about a 5 minute walk from the center of town and 2 min to the ferry terminal. In general I felt safe... More

“Beautiful town house”

Reviewed April 27, 2013

Unfortunately we stayed here for only one night. We would gladly have stayed longer. Warere is fantastic because of its style and decoration: this really is a town house, and it is beautifully and stylishly decorated. It feels like going back in time or stepping into another world. I enjoyed this because it is not just a bland place that... More

Dear due_passi, thank you for your lovely review. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay with us, the huge beds and the breezy balcony off your room. We do hope to see you again if you every visit Zanzibar! Karibuni tena More

“Nice place”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

We stayed for couple of nights before heading to the east of Zanzibar. The room was great (room 15), but be aware that you can hear your neighbours when they're in the bathroom. It is well located close to the harbour and the old town. The night food market is just 5min walk. The staff is helpful and very nice.... More
