Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is 7 km from the property. The owner is the sweetest! It was a pleasure to have known him and talked to him. Our stay was great! We are a family of 4, so we had a big room. There were 3 beds, a sitting area, 2 toilets/ showers. It was perfect for us. There are also 2 ceiling fans and air conditioning in the room. The beds are really comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay in StoneTown and discovered many amazing and surprising things. StoneTown House is a great place to walk around the city. The only thing for you to know (it is mentioned in the description), there is no restaurant in the hotel. However, there are many very close to the hotel. Thank you StoneTown house for the great experience we had! Wish you the best!
