Jafferji House

Utterly enchanting- from our 5am arrival until our departure 3 days later we were looked after so incredibly well. The hotel organised our airport pickup and opened up with a gentle tap (you may need help to find it as it’s in the narrow streets of old Stonetown). The front of house was superb and Peter took care of us. The hotel has so much atmosphere, full of antiques and lush vegetation. Breakfast is in the roof balcony. Excursions can be organised. I had read a few unpleasant reviews but I can’t think why, cleanliness was first class and the hospitality was outstanding. I hope you are lucky enough to find a room - we stayed 3 nights it was so good.

We booked two rooms a month in advance but when we got there, our rooms were not available. We were sent to a much cheaper hotel and didn’t get refunded. This hotel is so unprofessional and would not recommend it.

the staff were friendly, really nice stay, hotel was in the middle of stone town close to everything

Service good, great housekeeping staa

Ottima location, personale molto disponibile, camera molto pulita e grande. Ottima colazione. In pieno centro a Stone Town. Hotel molto bello con arredamento Africans di antiquariato con pezzi davvero belli. Wifi e aria condizionata e pale funzionante. Camera fresca anche solo con pale, noi abbiamo usato solo le pale x tutto il soggiorno. Consigliatissimo molto soddisfatti.
