"Maru Maru Hotel review"
The only reason I rated them less than excellent is because their system did not show that our payment was all made in full prior to us getting there.
When Maru Maru cleared it up with Expert Africa, they should have informed us that matter is resolved." See all these reviews: 4n in Zanzibar
"Standard Hotel in Stonetown"
It was comfortable enough....if a bit noisy with people walking by on the corridor.It was also a very large hotel.....51 rooms, which felt a bit big and impersonal after the smaller quieter places we had been staying at.
It is very central in Stonetown though, so easy access to the old town." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 2n in Zanzibar
