Firefly boutique Hotel Zanzibar With Roof Terrace

Loved the authentic local ambiance! Comfortable rooms, great rooftop restaurant, and excellent service.

Being in the heart of Stone Town please be aware that the area is quite noisy.

The Firefly hotel was beautifully decorated. It is absolutely stunning, very traditional. Pool was very pretty. The location was very close to the downtown area and the Sea, and it was easy to walk everywhere. The restaurant was delicious!! Esperanze helped us book a couple tours and taxi rides and provided security for ATM in the evening. Everyone there was anxious to make sure we had everything we needed. Rooftop restaurant had a nice view of the area. The room had air conditioning!!

Interesting city location, very friendly staff, dreamy atmosphere (almost film-like) as a thoughtful and tasteful conversion of an old coral stone building in Zanzibar. The rooftop restaurant/bar was a wonderful spot for breakfast and sunset drinks.

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.
