As soon I walked in, there was a huge difference compered to last time I went. Obviously it was a positive difference. I liked how the service's were excellent and the staff were friendly thank you Jimmy and Juma. Food was served chronologically and the African food was delicious. The room I slept in was comfortable and relaxing the window... More

I've stayed there with my boyfriend for only one night. We appreciated only 2 things: it's in the city centre and the price was very low (more or less 13€ per night per person at the end of April). But that's it... the room was small, the bed covers were dirty (in fact we slept on our towels), the bathroom... More

We stayed here in March of 2013. The hotel arranged for us to be picked up (no charge) and went out of their way to help us in any way they could. They even kept our luggage for a week while we traveled to other places on Zanzibar. The hotel's accommodation is basic, the breakfasts average but the service level... More

I was backpacking through Stonetown and I saw Coco in lonely planet's travel guide. I decided its location near the gardens and the old fort made it a good bet as to where I should go. It is true, the location is great... a 2 minute walk from the food festival each night in the gardens (be careful what you... More

Right from the staff to the food to the room ....this is the famous horror show in Stone Town...Please don't experience it , unless you are in the mood to spoil yours or your travel companion's party....I went solo , but i can imagine how bad it could be for families and others...Would never recommend this place to anyone as...

I stayed for 3 nights, paying $35 for each night. Considering the price, and the cost of accommodation elsewhere in Stone Town, Coco De Mer was a brilliant find. The staff were amazingly helpful and were always on hand to answer my many questions. They offer a booking service for a shuttle bus to either the East or North of... More

location is great near the car ferry. breakfast is ok, and was included. everything else is not. the room was old and in poor condition. there was no ac and the celing fan was broken. they put in a mobile fan instead of fixing it. there are local people drinking and smoking right outside the room until 10pm and then...

Smack in the middle of Stown Town's most buzzing backstreets and with a cool little café style restaurant for breakfast and the lot. The room was shabby, with sealed windows instead of wall seperating our bed from the reception. You could hear everyone in the hallway. We didn't mind though, unless it was during the night. The room had two... More

Nobody can call the Coco de Merd inconsistent. Having stayed in 2009 and 2011 I can confirm that nothing has changed. On a positive note at least you know what to expect when you book here, I assure you if you read the reviews below, and then stay here you will not be disappointed!
