Turaco Spice Tree a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Gorgeous Boutique Hotel.. Room was spacious and beautiful. Pay close attention to the details in the room, they play a significant role in the history and culture of ZNZ. Front Desk Representatives at check-in were friendly. The warm cookie at check-in was delicious :) Food was incredible. I loved that some the local Tanzanian dishes were in were incorporated into the menu. Freshly squeezed juices paired well with our meals (Hibiscus Ginger and the Soursop Ginger was Top Tier) I Rate this place 5 Stars only because of Chef Alex and his hospitality. Exemplary customer service skills from the beginning of our stay until the very end. A true leader and an asset to the Turaco Brand!! Chef Alex turned a couple of not so good situations into positive. He took the time to listen, he paid attention to the small details that mattered, last but not least... he displayed empathy. Chef Alex, Thank You for your kindness and your staff are Greatly Appreciated Until we meet Again!

When you arrive make sure you follow the signs to find the hotel entrance. The staff were all very nice (especially Rose in housekeeping and the chef), but make sure to get the wifi password from reception. The room was large, but the bed was old and the mattress rolls you into the middle. The room service food was good, especially the cheese & tomato sandwich, but twice my order was incorrect. One time I ordered water and didn't get it, and the other time I ordered a continental breakfast and got the other breakfast other option. Make sure you turn the a/c on when you enter the room. There is a currency exchange and a bank very close by, near the old fort, and lots of restaurants, shops, and the ocean all very close by. Despite the room service mishaps I would absolutely recommend this hotel.

Conveniently located in Stone Town. Lovely warm cookie on arrival. There were some challenges during my stay such as the WiFi dipping in and out, being locked out of the room due to the system having an issue, and no hot water. The rooms are lovely, good Aircon and cleanliness. The staff are friendly and helpful.
