Fantastic Stay at Tembo Hotel! We had an amazing experience at Tembo Hotel. The location is super central, the hotel is clean, stylish, and very well-maintained. Our room had an absolutely stunning view — it really made the stay extra special! A big shout-out to the staff: we checked out after midnight at 1 AM, and they arranged transport to the airport and even packed breakfast for us to take along. That level of service truly impressed us. Highly recommended — we would definitely stay here again!

Lovely property and the staff were amazing. We had a very early ferry that left before breakfast started and they insisted on sending us with food to go so we wouldn't be hungry on the boat. It was ready along with the taxi they scheduled for us at 5:30am. So thoughtful.

A conveniently located waterfront property with lots of open air community space. Breakfast offered a good variety with a made to order omelet station. Didn’t eat lunch or dinner there simply because they don’t serve alcohol. We were located at their property across the street in a 4-story (62 steps) walk up room overlooking the street and with water views. Entertaining to see guests set their breakfast plates down in the open air areas, go off to get something else and then have the ravens swoop down and make off with a slice of toast or waffle. Also interesting to see all the pilots taking care of their boats while awaiting passengers to take out to Prison Isy.

We stayed here for one night in the annexe section of the hotel, which is seperate from the main hotel (short 1 min walk). Our standard room was clean and basic for a nights stay, nothing fancy. Location is great for food and drink options. No lifts, so bad to carry bags up stairs, so something to consider if you need a lift.
