Maru Maru Hotel | Hotel in Stone Town, Zanzibar Town

Maru Maru Hotel places you in Stone Town, with easy access to Forodhani Gardens, Stone Town Beach, and the ferry terminal to the mainland. In Zanzibar City, the setting is close to the daily rhythm of the old quarter, while the hotel’s rooftop spaces open the view outward toward the town and the Indian Ocean. It feels like a convenient base for exploring on foot, then coming back to a quieter address with room to pause. The rooms are air-conditioned and look out over the town or garden, with furniture made by local producers. Some rooms also include wooden ceiling beams and a private bathroom with a step-in shower and seat, while balconies or terraces add another way to take in the surroundings where available. Complimentary Wi-Fi, TV, toiletries, and laundry services support longer stays and easier mornings. At Maru Maru Hotel, the shared spaces shape the pace of the day. You can start with breakfast at Fountain Restaurant, then return later for dinner, Indian cuisine at Terrace Restaurant, or a drink at the bar. There is also a pool, spa facilities, a hot tub, and a 24-hour front desk that can help arrange massages, car hire, and local trips. On-site parking is free, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a charge from Zanzibar International Airport. With wheelchair accessibility, family rooms, and multiple guest services, the hotel balances comfort with practical city access. Staying here leaves you with a clear sense of place, especially as the day closes over Stone Town.
