This is the best for me aa a solo traveler, at least for me. The staff are attentive and its a great location, too. However, its best to secure a guide to get around. Be wary of locals who want to offer to guide you, I lucked up and got two good ones..I was only there 4 days.

Maru Maru Hotel is a good choice in Stone Town - central location and easy to explore everything on foot. The staff were warm and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The only downside was the noise, which made the nights a bit loud and restless.

A very simple and cute room. Staff was very friendly and welcoming! The hotel is walking distance to everything. I will definitely stay there again if I'm ever back in Stone Town.

Loved this place, everything was great, food, drinks, pool, gym.. baggage storage after check out. Wish i had more time.. and the aircon after 3 weeks without any was the icing on top of the cake.. bed was really comfortable. They allowed an early check in too.. i have absolutely nothing bad to say 👌 staff really friendly and polite as well

Very nice hotel. Conveniently located to all Stone Town attractions. If there are any issues the front desk manager will do her best to rectify the situation. My only issue unfixable was the food or maybe It was the water they refill for the rooms. I recommend be on side of caution and drink only bottled water. Don't eat anything uncooked (salads juices made with ice etc.) And you won't spend most of your time in bathrooms.

房間衞生條件還不錯，挺乾淨的但是太潮了，整個房間都是一股潮味，而且這價格也不算便宜。晚上酒店頂層有駐唱一直唱到22:30，如果你不聽的話就像住在ktv樓下非常吵。早餐和付費單點的晚飯都不怎麼樣，點了個很貴的海鮮拼盤（如圖），裏面的半衹龍蝦嚐起來像死了很久的，肉吃起來有一股粉感，而且他們家吃飯真的不便宜
