Poor place to stay
Review of Dhow Palace Hotel, Zanzibar by lisastevens

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Loads and loads filthy!!!!

Despite sleeping on my sarong on top of the 'bed' i was covered in bites from bed bugs in the morning. Oh and at about 4am gun fire could be heard coming from fairly close by - luckily this isn't something that woke us as there wasnt any chance of any sleep in the hotel to begin with. Do whatever you can to avoid staying ... Read review
