Stone Town Café & Bed and Breakfast

Stone Town Café & Bed and Breakfast is a charming independently operated property in Stone Town’s Shangani neighborhood, combining a popular ground-floor café serving Zanzibari coffee, fresh juices, and light meals with a collection of comfortable and thoughtfully furnished guestrooms above. The property has built an excellent reputation on booking platforms for its attentive and genuinely friendly service, consistently clean rooms, and the social atmosphere generated by the café below — a gathering spot for both guests and local residents. Rooms feature air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, with a range of sizes suitable for solo travelers, couples, and small groups. The rooftop terrace provides a peaceful retreat for morning coffee and evening drinks. The hotel’s location near the Freddie Mercury Museum — dedicated to the Queen frontman who was born in Stone Town — and the beautiful waterfront Forodhani Gardens makes it one of the most conveniently positioned budget properties in Stone Town. The Old Fort, House of Wonders, and the covered market of Darajani are all within easy walking distance. The hotel team can arrange day trips to Prison Island, spice farm tours, and snorkeling excursions to the reefs surrounding Zanzibar.
