Mazsons Hotel HOTEL $$
( 024-223 3694, 0713-340042; www.mazsonshotel.net ; Kenyatta Rd; s/d from US$70/
90; ) The long-standing Mazsons has impressively restored lobby woodwork and a con-
venient location, which go some way to compensating for its rooms - modern and quite
comfortable, though pallid. There's also a restaurant on-site.
Chavda Hotel HOTEL $$
( 024-223 2115; www.chavdahotel.co.tz ; Baghani St; s/d/tw from US$100/120/130;
) Chavda is a quiet, reliable hotel with some period decor and a range of bland, carpeted
rooms with TV, telephone and minibar. The rooftop bar and restaurant are open during the
high season only, and there's a spa. It's just around the corner from Kisiwa House hotel.
Beyt al-Chai BOUTIQUE HOTEL $$
( 0774-444111; www.stonetowninn.com ; Kelele Sq; s US$75-265, d US$105-295) This
converted tea house is an atmospheric choice, with just five rooms, each individually de-
signed, and all with period decor. For a splurge, try one of the top-floor Sultan suites, with
views to the sea in the distance and raised Jacuzzi-style baths. Downstairs is a good res-
taurant.
Al-Johari BOUTIQUE HOTEL $$
( 024-223 6779, 0777-242806; www.al-johari.com ; Shangani; s/d from US$100/140;
) This 15-room boutique hotel has modern rooms with a few Zanzibari touches, an
air-con, glassed-in restaurant upstairs and a breezy rooftop bar with views. Room prices in-
clude a full buffet breakfast. Take the small road off Kenyatta Rd in front of Mazsons Hotel
and follow it down a few hundred metres; Al-Johari is to the left.
Zanzibar Palace Hotel HOTEL $$$
( 024-223 2230, 0773-079222; www.zanzibarpalacehotel.com ; Kiponda; s/d from
US$160/180; ) This small, atmospheric hotel has a mix of rooms in varying sizes.
Some have separate sitting areas, some have small balconies, most have large raised or
sunken-style bathtubs and most have air-con. All have Zanzibari beds and period design.
Karibu Inn HOTEL $
( 024-223 3058, 0777-417392; karibuinnhotel@yahoo.com; dm US$15, s/d/tw/tr
US$30/40/40/60) The soul-less Karibu's complete lack of atmosphere is compensated for
by a convenient location in the heart of Shangani, within a five-minute walk of Forodhani
Gardens. Accommodation is in dorm beds or clean, decent rooms with private bathroom.
