Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Stone Town, Zanzibar: Exotic and mystical, evocative of the centuries of sultans, traders, adventurers and explorers who came to these magical isles of Zanzibar off the Swahili East African coast, leaving a cultural and architectural fusion which echoes its proud history of Persian, Arabian, Indian, Colonial and African influences.Stone Town is now home to the new MASHARIKI PALACE Hotel. This is the Eastern Palace on the islands, once the seat of the Omani empire spanning a thousand miles, created by the first sultan of Zanzibar almost 200 years ago. The domicile of the Sultan's religious councillor is now restored beyond its former magnificence.The MASHARIKI PALACE Hotel is a privileged residence for travellers choosing refined hospitality in a historical setting. ... more less

“Elegant Gem”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Four of us stayed only one night in the renovated former palace but everything about the Mashariki made us feel like royalty. Each room is unique and elegant, beautifully furnished with great architectual accents and 20 foot ceilings. I had the pleasure of eating both breakfast and dinner at the rooftop restaurant and both meals were exquisitly prepared and plated.... More

“Great if too short a stay.”

I stopped in the Mashariki Palace Hotel for just one night. It was far too short. An excellent and competitively priced venue. Good service, attention to detail by the owner, and excellent fare. I have seldom enjoyed such a good steak. I will be back for longer the next time, both to enjoy the hotel and explore the island some... More

“Elegant hotel with excellent service”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

We stayed at Mashariki for only one night on the way out of Zanzibar. The hotel is an exquisitely restored palace where every room is unique. The best thing about the design is the restraint exercised by the decorators - everything is gloriously simple but feels stylish and luxurious. We paid for the cheapest (Dajarani) room and it was small... More

Dear valuable young Guest, on behalf of all the staff I wish to thank you for your comment . Regarding the valuation of your room, I don't think it is elegant to compare different hotels on the basis of the square meters only. Anyway your room is 24 sqmts plus the bathroom of 5,50 sqmts. We have also different room's... More

“Nice Boutique Hotel”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

Wonderful staff, really quiet and tranquil hotel in the middle of Stone Town. Centrally located near just about everything but very quiet and romantic. Large rooms, hotel bar, massage/solar area, and restaurant on the rooftop. Glad we stayed at this hotel rather than others. If you get a chance definitely do a Safari Blue day tour, eat at the Indian... More

This is one of the most tastefully beautiful hotels I've ever seen. Set in the heart of historic Stone Town, this building has been completely renovated with grace and modern Italian style while still being true to the Arab and African influences that make Zanzibar such a fascinating place. Amazing. Rashana and Renaulto, the Italian couple who manage the hotel,... More

“Hotel with a 'soul'”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

We spent only one night at Mashakiri, on the way to Coastal resorts. If we went back we would definitely send more night. Rooms and common spaces with a 'soul', each space is individually designed and has a mixture of Italian and middle-eastern touch that makes it unique. The Italian management is always present and extremely helpful. Unfortunately we had... More
