While the hotel's opulence came at a premium, the breakfast experience fell disappointingly short and my wife did not mince her words about it to the staff and management, leaving much to be desired. A stark contrast to the luxurious setting and relatively good rooms, the morning offerings were surprisingly subpar, diminishing the overall satisfaction of the stay!

SHANGANI A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW

A lovely hotel located centrally in Sone Town within easy walking distance of all I needed. The staff are so friendly and helpful., the rooms are plain but very clean, .breakfast  was good. I will come back mostly because the staff are fabulous. 

Shangani is a gem.

Very well received, we're early to check-in but they accommodated us. The rooms were clean and airy, good water flow clean amenities, good service by friendly staff. We did not have any meals as this was catered elsewhere for a religious function. Air conditioning in the room very much needed for the hot nights. 

Visit for a religious sermon

Good = located in the principal street of stone town (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), powerful air conditioner, hot shower...
Bad = Bed is not comfortable, breakfast with just few options...

As stone town do not require many days and most part of the day we spent walking, I do recommend this hotel

Good cost-benefit

Hospitality was second to none. Hassan went out of his way to ensure that we were given the rooms we wanted. Awesome experience. Clean rooms, airconditioning was excellent, wifi superb. Breakfast was very nice at the rooftop restaurant. Sharon the manager was at hand to give us tips on where to go and visit should we go back next holiday.

Rhodes Park School Teachers trip.

Sharon's (the Operations Manager) hospitality together with the entire team at Shangani was excellent! Breakfast was on point! They were always ready to advise and lend a hand. You'll never go wrong by choosing Shangani.

Rhodes Park School, teacher's trip

Stayed here as part of intrepid tour so had no choice. They don’t seem to wash the shower heads so there is lime scale on them which is dirty. No hot water. The bed was made very nicely and there was aircon. Overall it’s probably a 3 star but the reason for the poor review is the ants all over the bathroom and piles of dead ants as well. We did tell reception twice and they did go and spray the ants but then more came and more dead piles. Photos below. Also went to go on the balcony near our room, staff sleeping on the ground so can’t sit down and relax. 

Live ants, piles of Dead ants and staff sleeping in corridors 

Adequate but no more.

Decent wifi and rooms comfy enough and clean. 50 dollars a double felt slightly overpriced.

Painfully slow at reception and little english spoken. 

Breakfast utterly bizarre at times. ...spaghetti???? And woeful coffee.

Arranged a fifteen dollar airport taxi. 

Decent views from the roof.

Fine for a night or two.

Fine

Great location, beautiful house, nice and helpful staff. Stayed there a week, they made me feel home. Rooftop views amazing. Breakfast was one of the best (esp juices and pancakes). Room settings and qualities vary according to category. Excellent wifi all over the places

Lovely

This was the meet up point for the beginning of our Landover trip with Intrepid. The hotel location is ideal as it's in a street that sells many souvenirs, has restaurants, ATMs and within walking distance of most must see tourist sites in Stone Town. They have free wi-fi and the rooms have bottled water, fans, air-cons and mosquito nets. The restaurant is situated at the top and provides beautiful view of the city.
