I have been staying in several B&B in Stown Town and this is by far the best due to its helpful staff and cleaniness. If you like to mix with local people and see how life is lived in Stone Town Kiponda is the perfect area.The roof top restaurant/lounge/hang out is just lovely and it is also where the breakfast...

The staff at Kiponda make it excellent! Our three person room was clean, beds were comfortable, and everything was in order. The front desk is eager to help, Jeff who works in the hotel is happy to make the kitchen available for beers and sodas at a reasonable price. The open kitchen at the top was a lovely place to...

We stayed at Hotel Kiponda for 3 nights and highly recommend it. Seemed like good value for Stonetown (Zanzibar is not a cheap destination!) and we ended up with a large room (suitable for a family) even though we had only booked a double. The staff were always helpful and could also book trips (Changu Island, Spice Tour etc) and... More

Five of us found Kiponda a welcoming spot to relax in after sightseeing in Zanzibar. They have running water showers - a plus not often found. The rooms are very clean and attractive, the staff extremely helpful, and a top floor that used to be a restaurant with big open and attractively furnished space for breakfast and/or relaxing in after...
