This hotel is old and tired. The welcome was, at best, lukewarm, and the service was generally not good. The room was not well cleaned but there was good air conditioning, which was very welcome. Furniture was old and beds uncomfortable. The phone in the room did not work and other guests were allowed to yell at each other at 3am in the communal areas! Breakfast offer was good. Restaurant was awful - service was poor, food was almost inedible, card machine doesn’t work! They do not sell alcohol and don’t name this in their description. They do offer “mocktails” which are an absolute laugh! Don’t waste your money! Swimming pool was nice but the chairs/sofas around the pool are very dirty. Would not recommend it.

Good location, friendly staff, and a really interesting and unique building. Would stay here again next time I’m in Stone Town

Hotel con arquitectura Swahili, lindo

convenient location, good facility, kind and helpful staff, but so loudy due to too close to some ports

Beautiful location, great swimming pool and the staff were all fantastic. Wish we’d known about the noise from the ferry/container port though.

10 out of 10

Room was good. The website said they had a bar but in fact they did not. No elevator but over all ok

Our room was fabulous with views of the ocean and the street activities. The pool was a calming place to be after a day of Stonetown exploration.

Beautiful hotel, great location. Everything you can want from a stay. Very friendly staff. Great buffet breakfast

Great place to stay if getting the ferry from Dar Es Salaam and good space to explore from for a few days. Lovely room and reasonably priced. Non alcohol hotel which I think makes it a bit cheaper than others, which is great value.

Omar who managed the breakfast service was excellent and immediately put guests at ease with his warmth and attentiveness. Young Mohammed on staff was great and highly responsive to guest needs and carried himself with professionalism like all of the staff. The hotel has excellent location and high walk ability to Stone Town attractions. I particularly liked my room with seafront view. The property is very well managed and a place for potential improvement is considering a ventilation system for the bathroom.

Loved this hotel. Enjoyed a pleasant swim in their gorgeous pool. Delicious breakfast. Very helpful staff. Brilliant location on seafront.

Great room palatial and with great breakfast except lift and no gym and cold pool ! Only room has air con not the hotel itself

At check in advised we could have a family room instead of two rooms. I said yes. But management insisted we pay for them both coating $125 more. Will not return. Area around is nice and Stone Town convenient.

The property is really beautiful and has a lovely restaurant on the second floor with a great view of the ocean. My only complaint is that they didn't have a beer/wine selection, but that was minor.

A perfect location in the Town. Lovely breakfast choice, helpful friendly staff. The pool was shaded but a welcome relief. The room was huge and hreat. The taps were a bit wonky but othetwise a hotel that i could easily recommend

The position and staff. The staff are extremely welcoming and the position is fairly central in Stone Town

My room was very clean and well decorated.staff was helpful . The view was pictures.

We liked the place. Room was great etc. The elevator is funky, requiring patrons to fully close cage door when exiting. If not done properly, others can't use. Otherwise, the place was great.

excellent location, great service, fantastique ambiance - breakfast very good but other meals not as good as other nearby restaurants
