Perfect location - we stayed for 10 days in one of the rooms with balcony - excellent location within Stonetown where the only drawback is that it’s not possible to drive a car to the entrance of the hotel - very nice rooms and super friendly staff - excellent breakfast with a super nice view of the sea from the breakfast place. Very nice experience and happy to recommend the hotel.

Hotel is situated right in the heart of stone town, close to everything. Felt very safe. The hotel had a boutiquey feel to it. Rooms were lovely, space to hang out and unwind was nice. Good food options if you don’t want to go out

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean hotel in a nice location. The pool and the restaurant are great. On the downside - it is hard to find when arriving by car as there is no indication where the hotel is from the street and have to walk a narrow alley from the street to the hotel entrance. Some clear signage visible from the street would greatly help.

The room and rooftop were lovely, service was excellent, and the food was very good. The noise of children playing in the alley below went on til quite late, and the shower water never got very hot. Otherwise, a cool spot in the heart of Stone Town.

I loved the botanical atmosphere of this hotel. I had a massive double room on the ground floor surrounded by plants which made it magical!! Pool area was relaxing. My favourite was the rooftop restaurant which had beautiful views of the seafront. I would definitely come back here. The location was very central to exploring Stone Town.

Good relaxing stay.

Location close to many things. Location is off the regular streets. Roof top restaurant was nice and view was great. Some simple wire to keep the crows away would be nice! Room does need TVs but didn’t miss it. Wi-Fi signal needs improvement. Spa treatment was nice but location is an issue with echo and noise.

Staff welcoming and attentive. Hotel rooms large clean and comfortable. Turn down service provided everynight which included mosquito nets and repellant. No lift in the property but the staff carried our luggage and allowed me to keep my childs pram down in reception. Every meal we had in the restaurant was delcious. The hotel is very close to the main road and the waterfront. The night market is a 2 minute walk

This property itself was beautiful. Our room had two stories, and our room upstairs opened up to the restaurant, and the beautiful rooftop view. The staff here were so nice and helped us to plan everything we wanted to do. Also, the location of this place is very convenient, very close and walkable distance to the night food market, and different historic locations in Stonetown. We loved our stay here and will definitely go back. Only complaint we had was that the drain in the shower went down very slow and the bathroom would flood. The free breakfast was also very delicious.

I liked the postive staff attitude in this hotel. The stunning colonial style in the very spacious room I had was definitely a plus for me as well. It was close to the harbour and within walking distance to the main sights. Downside: the noise from the outside - theoretically from 6 am till midnight. The internet was extremely slow during the day - but during night time it worked really much faster.

The building and location are great. The view and sunset are amazing. The service, comfort and bathroom installations are not as good. In our first night there was a water pump going off and making noise every hour or so, making our sleep less than great. When showering, water would go up to our ankles almost, as the plug hole didn’t provide enough throughput. I asked for both things to be fixed and in the evening no one knew if they had been fixed or not. After some insistence and phone calls we heard the everything was fixed. Later, we found that only the pump was fixed.

we had a seaview room with balcony, which was a great option, comfortable bed, shower was excellent, a lot of hot water and a huge bathroom. The room and bathroom were clean, only the windows and balcony looked as if they hadn't been cleaned for a long time. In the evening it was a bit loud, as we could hear people from the other room talking very loud as they were just beside us. But fortunately they stopped talking after some time and we could sleep, so it is a little luck if you have loud neighboors or not. No noisy from outside. Dinner in the hotel was okay, we had the Club Sandwich with chicken and Vegetable Curry. The Curry was very strong, too spicy and not balanced. I had in other Restaurants excellent currys. We know service is slow everywhere in Sansibar but here it was extra slow… View from rooftop Restaurant is beautiful. Breakfast was good and came fast, we had some fruits and pancake. Juice was warm. I did one foot massage, which was not very professional. It was more a leg than a foot massage, I wish she had washed my feet before she started. The location is good, near secret Garden Restaurant, where we had a great lunch. We did not use the Pool but it looked clean. In all a good hotel to stay in Stone Town.
