Great location, clean, but outdated
I stayed at Shoki Shoki for 4 nights. We arrived late at night, after midnight, and there was a guy at the reception who called another person to take us to the room. Service - great and friendly, took care of the issues that we encountered such as sink licking was taken care the same day. Breakfast - great breakfast, you got three choices on the menu. Damira was so sweet and helpful. You also get fruits and coffee and tea. Location - 3 minutes away from the beach and right in the heart of Stone Town, you can walk anywhere and feel safe Noise level - more noisy on the morning but not crazy , didn't bother me Rooms - this is what makes me give it a 3 stars. The hotel is a bit outdated , the rooms were cleaned daily and no complain of that. The AC was licking water quite often. The room we got was at the 1st floor and just a pair of steps to get there. Be mindful there is no elevator. The building facing our room was abandoned l, the room was pretty dark of windows were closed. The bed had mosquito net and I heard they spray repellent daily. The windows were opened daily to let fresh air come inside and then in the evening they were closing them , so two times the rooms were serviced. The bed was hard, I encountered that in another location , so not sure if it's a characteristic of Zanzibar. The bathroom had great water pressure however the sink had a leak and the toilet you had to keep the button down till the entire tank was empty in order to see proper flush. They didn't change the towels at all during my stay and I wished they did. They also offered small toothpaste and a soap bar which was pretty hard and barely made any foam. The shower had shower gel on the other hand. Coffee and tea were daily refreshes in the room and a small treat was added such as dates and peanuts. The room has a safe box and a small fridge which we were told we can drink the soda at no extra cost but we didn't . There is also a water filter right outside the room and they also provide a bottle in the room. Upon our arrival at the airport , we were supposed to have taxi wait or us based on the initial communication, however none was there and we ended up taking a taxi from the airport . When I checked with the total they said they never got my messages as it was handles by Expedia. But then we placed an order for a taxi to take us to airport again when we booked a safari and the taxi came and the guy was very nice and arrived earlier than expected.

It was a beautiful property and a great 3 night stay. I recommend this place highly.
It was a beautiful hitel with cute individuals round houses. A special thank you to Naomi at the front desk, who was kind very helpful and friendly. She went above and beyond to organise a wonderful surprise for my 55 birthday, which truly exceeded our expectations. Her thoughtfulness made our celebration even more special. She was very helpfull and professional with all things and that was truly appreciated. All of the service throughout our stay was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be coming back.
