Reviewers Mention About Maru Maru Hotel

The Maru Maru Hotel in Stone Town is highly recommended by guests who praise the comfortable rooms, exceptional service, and great location. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the hotel offers a (Read More)rooftop pool with beautiful views. The breakfast is delicious with many options, while the only downside is loud music in the evenings. Overall, guests have had a fantastic stay and would choose to stay at the hotel again.

Superb

Rooms were adequate, food was adequate, location and service was great. Friendly, helpful staff. They sang HB to our 13

The location was the best in Stone Town. Great roof top view from the restaurant and pool. Family room was adequate size for 2 adults and 2 big kids.

Gym equipment was old but I stay there for that.

Very good

The breakfast was really good. The happy hour at sunset was fantastic. The music entertainment was slow and boring and the reason we left to somewhere else

The music entertainment on the rooftop.

Pleasant

Disappointing stay - loud and questionable cleanliness

Staff was very friendly

- The old spring mattres was super uncomfortable and the pillow like a rock - The hotel is right by the busy road so its super loud at night - Toilet was not flushing well and was smelly - There were dark long hairs in the towels provided in the room and sink (Im blonde). - The gym: trip hazards and the AC was barely working. The mats stink like they havent been washed for years. The coach was staring the whole time that I was working out.

Enjoyable and would highly recommed to our friends too

Good spread; something in it for everyone; as an Indian vegetarian family, we were delighted to find poori and potato. Good spread of fresh fruits, salads, breads.

I have nothing to complain about!

LOCATION IS PERFECT TO VISIT STONE TOWN. SERVICES AND ACCOMODATIONS WERE TO THE EXPECTATIONS. I WOULD RETURN.

I was quite surprised that for a country like Tanzania known as coffee producer, at breakfast i had instant coffee... this is a shame. You should promote your coffee and make it accessible to your guests.
