A very simple and cute room. Staff was very friendly and welcoming! The hotel is walking distance to everything. I will definitely stay there again if I'm ever back in Stone Town.

Loved this place, everything was great, food, drinks, pool, gym.. baggage storage after check out. Wish i had more time.. and the aircon after 3 weeks without any was the icing on top of the cake.. bed was really comfortable. They allowed an early check in too.. i have absolutely nothing bad to say 👌 staff really friendly and polite as well

Very nice hotel. Conveniently located to all Stone Town attractions. If there are any issues the front desk manager will do her best to rectify the situation. My only issue unfixable was the food or maybe It was the water they refill for the rooms. I recommend be on side of caution and drink only bottled water. Don't eat anything uncooked (salads juices made with ice etc.) And you won't spend most of your time in bathrooms.

Good hotel to stay in Zanzibar, an amazing view from the rooftop, but a bit expensive, especially alcohol !

After spending one night in Zanzibar to prepare for boarding the ship, we chose this lovely hotel in Stone Town. What you see is what you get, clean and comfortable, convenient location, convenient for shopping, close to the pier, and there are good Chinese restaurants nearby. Overall very satisfied.

Amazing location, Nice facilities and lovely breakfast with a lot of local and international (and some Indian..) dishes, Pool area perfect for a last day before going home. The only really bad thing was managers - this was the first time i noticed how staff was really shuffling around their personell on the rooftop, both by the pool and at the restaurant. You could even feel the impact on the staff; it was completely management by fear. The service would really improve if managers lead by example, talking to guests and behaving accordingly. On a better note was staff at reception; doorbell helped us out really well, and also receptionist where super friendly and professional.
