The hotel

Shangani Hotel is in the heart of Stone Town along Kenyatta Road.  It is not the most fantastic place, but is one of the better budget hotels in Stone Town. Centrally located, it is ideal for the person wanting to walk around town. Another advantage is it's close proximity to banks where you may want to exchange cash. The rooftop restaurant has a good view over Stone Town and the food is not bad. Do not expect lavish furnishings or rooms with fantastic views. The service is lacking at times, so do not stay here unless you are on a real budget trip.

The rooms

There are 27 rooms in total. All rooms have a ceiling fan, air conditioning, telephones, mini bars and television. All beds have mosquito netting. Safe deposit boxes are available on request. The rooms are kept clean and 23 of the rooms have their own bathrooms, whilst 4 of the rooms share amenities, 1 bathroom for 2 rooms. We do not recommend that you stay in one of these. The furnishing is very drab with old 60's style beds and cupboards. If you are wanting a place to just put your head down at night, then this is for you.

The facilities

As this hotel is a budget hotel, not many facilities are provided.

  • Snooker Table

  • Curio shop at not bad prices

  • Laundry service

  • Transport facilities should you wish to go anywhere.
