The Emerson Spice Hotel is a little gem in the heart of Stone Town. Russell and the team are so welcoming and kind, especially to my son, who was amazed that we were staying in such a nice property, a former spice warehouse. They gave useful tips and advice on tours, arranged them for us so that we were able to see everything in the area from the history of where we were, to the Jozani forest and surrounding areas, as well as the spice farms nearby. A thoroughly lovely place run by thoroughly decent people. Would love to stay there again.

The hotel is incredibly interesting and beautiful. The room was excellent and the restaurant upstairs delicious.
The team was more than happy to help with anything we needed and we were sad to leave.

Stunning Hotel in the heart of Stone Town. So much character and charm! Sitting on the balcony watching the streets below was an absolute treat - as was the rooftop restaurant. We tried the seafood tasting menu which included some real gems along with some unfamiliar taste combinations. The call for prayer at the nearby mosque was quite loud - at 5.10 in the morning - but we quickly fell asleep again in the nice 4-poster bed.

The hotel’s decor and ambience were absolutely lovely. I had a beautifully spacious room with a balcony. The rooftop provides a wonderful venue for breakfast and dinner. The hotel arranged a transfer from the airport- very helpful as the hotel is located in the midst of Stone Town’s maze of lanes.

This is a beautiful hotel. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. Air conditioning plus a ceiling fan makes the room comfortable for sleeping. My room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. The internal courtyard makes the hotel very quiet. The rooftop is lovely for breakfast and dinner or the Secret Garden within the hotel compound is also lovely for a meal. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the seafront.

Fantastic We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, we arrived very early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised when they offered us breakfast and allowed us to check in early.
The property itself is stunning: a beautiful historical building that has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Our room was spacious, elegant, and very comfortable.
The location is also great, in a pretty and vibrant street and just a few minutes away from the night market and the sights.
Highly recommended!
