Kiponda B&B

Ein sehr schlichtes Hotel, Frühstück ist ein Witz. Toast und Marmelade. Für eine Nacht auf Durchreise vielleicht OK.

A nice bed and breakfast hotel with a great location in Stone Town. A simpler standard is offset by a lower price. Very helpful and skilled staff who help with most things and helpfully answer all questions. A good breakfast was served on the roof with coffee, omelette and good fresh fruit. Highly recommended.

I stayed at the Kiponda in June 2022 and felt extremely welcome and at home :) The location is excellent with just a minute or so walk to the waterfront and 5 or so minutes to the old fort and Forodhani park where the lively nightmarket takes place. It is also just 5 minutes walk to the ferry terminal if required. My room was clean and cosy and the openair rooftop common area was a wonderful place for the yummy breakfast and to relax in the evening. The staff were super friendly and the manager Salma, went above and beyond helping me organise day trips and transport. She has many years experience in the tourist industry in Zanzibar and was one of the first female tour guides there. Apart from having someone pick me up at the airport when i arrived, she even organised for someone to pick me up from the ferry terminal in Dar Es Salaam and take me to the train station where they also helped me buy a ticket for my onward journey. I can't recommend the Kiponda highly enough! Asante sana Salma and all at the Kiponda! :)
