    Reviewers Mention About Spice Palace Hotel

    The Spice Palace Hotel is centrally located in old Spice Town and offers a nice small pool, cafe, and rooftop restaurant. The rooms are modern and comfortable, although some guests experienced mold i (Read More)n the bathroom. The hotel/restaurant service was lacking, with issues in drink orders and lack of guidance upon check-in. The surrounding area is filled with dilapidated buildings and street salesmen can be persistent. However, the hotel is safe to walk around and offers a convenient location for exploring Stone Town. The complimentary breakfast and impressive Wi-Fi were highlights for some guests. Overall, the hotel is recommended, but for a short stay. Staff is friendly and attentive, and the facilities are clean. The rooftop restaurant and bar offer a great dining experience. The hotel is located in the historical Stone Town, providing a glimpse into the local culture. Some minor issues were reported, but the overall experience was positive, and the hotel would be a top choice for future visits.

    Location great hotel not great
    Location and friendly staff
    Elevator broke, no internet , breakfast was limited in options, shower had mildew and mold on walls , room was old and broken windows boards in bathroom. Constant disturbances for room spray for bugs, key card stop working daily, key cards are old, no phones in lobby to call in case of locked out of rooms. The property can use some upgraded and internet needs upgrade as well so it will work. Elevators need to be upgraded to so it will work.

    Hotel is in a good location close to food market, boats, cruise and sites to visit.
    The staff took too long to respond to complaints. The guests next door were making a lot of noise.

    I enjoyed everything here! Spacious and clean room for a reasonable price. Helpful staff, tried to help me with every problem I had. Location in the middle of Stone Town, Night Market is not too far by foot. Nice view from the breakfast terrace.
    The breakfast is good, but would have loved a bigger variety of fruits and local dishes.

    Will not stay here again.
    Beautiful rooftop restaurant and bar. Small plunge pool adequate to cool off. Helpful staff.
    I booked a room that was supposed to have a pool view. They said that wasn't available upon check-in, but maybe the next day. They proceeded to show me what they were calling "pool view", which was not. There are NO pool-view rooms here. At one point, there may have been pool view rooms from a balcony, but the pool is now covered with a tarp roof (why?) which makes it impossible to see from any balcony and blocks the sun while you're in the pool area. (The buildings all around it are so tall, it isn't necessary to provide shade). All the reviews about card keys not working EVERY TIME you return to your room are real. They claim you can't have your phone next to your room key. These items are frequently near one another in a pocket or purse. This has never happened in any other hotel, worldwide. Seems like it's not really the problem and should be able to be resolved. It's true, every time you walk back into the hotel, just stop at the front desk and ask them to reset your room key. Otherwise, you'll walk all the way to your room and your key won't work, and you'll have to walk to the front desk and wait for them to reset it, and then walk back to your room. The bathroom next to the tiny plunge pool always stank, badly. The space was OK for a quick cool-off, but always stank too much to hang out there. There were also employees hanging out in the tiny space during their breaks, which made swimming alone feel uncomfortable. Finally, since you have to put your room key into a device on the wall in your room in order to make the electricity work, you cannot have the shower hot water heater on while you are outside the room (at the pool or at the rooftop restaurant for breakfast or dinner). If you get a second room key upon check-in, you can leave that in for the water heater, while you're out of the room.

    The breakfast did not taste good at all. The cooking and flavours can be better for what they offer.
