Firefly boutique Hotel Zanzibar With Roof Terrace

Everything! The location the hotel is perfect. The aesthetics are so beautiful and really embrace stone town and the culture. The views on the rooftop are amazing. Pure peace and tranquility. You step inside and suddenly feel so relaxed. The staff are all amazing and beautiful people so kind and helpful with warming smiles. Highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in stone town

Loved the design, open rooftop and soft earth tones to create a relaxing environment in the heart of Stonetown. Very quiet neighborhood and amazing staff including a sweet little cat! Luciana was extremely welcoming and attentive of my needs from the moment we met. Great breakfast as well, I’d love to come back :)

Consider adding mosquito nets around the bed, for those who don’t like spray in the rooms at night. Thank you :)

Finding the hotel itself was a little tricky but luckily the locals are very helpful and showed us the way to the hotel. We were met with kind and professional service. The breakfast was amazing and so was the view from the rooftop restaurant. The place itself is charming and very well kept. Gives you a beautiful experience of Stone Town. Very good value for money and an unforgettable place!

The bed was a little hard

This hotel is a triumph of style over substance. It looks amazing, beautifully styled, lovely little touches and the roof terrace bar is absolutely gorgeous but....

it's complete impractical. Only window in our room opened up onto a public terrace. Bed base is built of concrete and there is very little floor space. If you fell over you'd crack your head open on the bed. Nowhere to put a suitcase, a couple of pegs to hang clothes, no drawers. Switch for bedside light operates lights on both side of the bed so if one of you is reading, the other is too. No bathroom privacy - curtain, no door. Spiral staircase up to roof terrace didn't seem particularly secure. However, we were only there for one night with very little luggage so it was ok and maybe other rooms are different. Probably worth checking before you book.
