We recently spent 5 nights at the Masairiki, 4 nights before setting out for a Safari in northern Tanzania and the last night following our return to Stonetown, Zanzibar. What stands out most about the Mashariki, beyond the beauty of this hotel and its physical setting, is the graciousness and class of its staff and management. A perfect 10!

We were incredibly happy with our weekend stay at Mashariki Palace. The hotel is beautiful, with soaring ceilings and a cool, calm feel in the lobby. We were lucky to be upgraded to the top floor room with ocean and town views, and a little balcony to enjoy the breeze. The amenities (toilet, shower etc) were brand new and all... More

Intimate boutique hotel with well appointed rooms and staff that goes out of their way to be helpful. The renovation was only recently completed so everything is still new. The rooftop terrace has wonderful views over the sea. Breakfast buffet was great. Highly recommended.

I wasn't sure what to expect: According to the pictures I saw on the Internet, I thought it must be a really nice place. But then it's pictures, and you never know what's real. So when I arrived there, I was extremely happy to see that it's exactly like in the pictures. The building has been restored by an Italian... More

We are not long back from our trip to Zanzibar and loved this hotel. very personable, lovely room, tasty food, chilled terrace and helpful friendly service.
