A welcoming home in the heart of Stone Town
Shaba Boutique Hotel was a lovely base for exploring Stone Town. We found its location incredibly convenient, with the attractions we wanted to visit within walking distance. Being able to step outside and explore at our own pace made our stay even more enjoyable.
The rooms made good use of the available space and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. For us, it was a place to settle in and recharge between our adventures.
But the heart of Shaba is undoubtedly its staff. The welcome was warm, and we quickly felt like part of a family. The team were attentive, approachable and always willing to go out of their way to make us comfortable. That personal care made the hotel feel like much more than somewhere to sleep.
Breakfast was mostly vegetarian during our stay and offered a lovely opportunity to experience Swahili-style cooking. Going in with an open mind and trying the local flavours was part of the enjoyment—you only miss out if you don’t give them a try!
