Relatively easy to find hotel, walking distance from ferry and other places of historical significance such as the Slave market. Very clean room, exquisite furniture and decorations. Air con and wifi worked very well. Delightful and pleasant staff, engaging and gave tips on areas to visit. Delicious breakfast, great choice. Will definitely visit again.

This was a great place to stay. The food was good and the rooms were excellent. The staff was very helpful in assisting us with anything we needed. The pool was a nice benefit to relax in after a hot day out in the city. I would highly recommend staying here.

Our experience at this hotel was very disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was not good at all. Even at check-out, the staff did not respond to phone calls. When we first entered the room, there were no towels provided, even though they should have been ready. We had to keep asking repeatedly and even went outside several times before we finally received them. The bathroom had a very unpleasant smell whenever we used the water, which made it uncomfortable. Breakfast was below average with limited options, and when we tried lunch at the hotel, it was terrible. Overall, the service and facilities did not meet expectations, and we would not recommend this hotel.

I would say this property met all my needs. It’s in a great location for both food and seeing some of the sights in stone town. I fear the only drawback is that there are many commercial stores around which is both a blessing and a curse as you pass by the same people selling their wares all the time through no fault of their ow.

Our bathroom flooded multiple times. First room smelled terrible, moved to the next room which flooded. Asked to speak to the manager about it. We were there for three days and never heard from them. They never responded and clearly didn’t care. Front desk was unhelpful and had bad attitude. Vehicles cannot access the hotel as there are only small alley ways surrounding the hotel. Be prepared to walk a long distance with your bags. I would not stay here again.

In a real area. Many local people right outside the door. If you are looking for a sanitized western lux hotel, maybe go elsewhere. If you want to really feel like Stone Town a good option. Room was basic but clean and comfortable.
