Very happy with our stay. The room was spacious and clean, the staff very helpful and location of the hotel was great.

Gut

Very clean. Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Great location. Nice architecture and decoration.

Alles bestens.

Le charme d’un ancien petit palais traditionnel

Breakfast was a buffet, fruit, cereal, pastries, eggs ect.. The coffee was Zanzibar coffee, we didn't care for it, strong and flavoured. The hotel was beautiful, old antique furniture, lots of style. Refreshing pool and sunset view from the top.

Heel goed hotel.

Bra läge och avstånd till centrum, hjälpsam personal. Skulle upp tidigt med flyget och de hjälpte till att ordna frukostbox och transfer.

It was lovely to be in such a beautiful Historic building. The hotel is very central. Staff were very nice,

Hyggelig og hjelpsomt personale. Pent hotell med god beliggenhet

Lovely large rooms. Very quiet but easy access to everything. Friendly staff and very helpful in arranging activities for us.

Beautiful hotel with traditional features. Stayed in the apartment which was huge. Wish we had spent more time there. Central location.

I booked this hotel through Hotels.com and had to make a simple change to my reservation—just shifting the stay by one day. Despite repeated attempts, the hotel never responded to the booking agency and ended up charging me for both nights, without any flexibility or communication. No reimbursement, no rescheduling—just a flat-out refusal to help. Very frustrating and not what I expect from a hotel supposedly rated 4 stars. The room itself was underwhelming. The bed was uncomfortable, making for poor sleep. While the breakfast buffet was good, both lunch and dinner options were bland and forgettable—not the standard you’d expect at this price point. To make matters worse, the rooftop restaurant that’s advertised simply doesn’t exist, which feels like false advertising. The building looks nice from the outside, but it’s nothing worth writing home about. The staff were notably unhelpful, especially compared to the warm, accommodating service I experienced at nearby hotels on the same trip. Bottom line: this hotel is overrated and inflexible, and I won’t be recommending it. There are far better places to stay in the area that actually care about their guests. Save yourself the hassle.

It’s very nice place to stay with family or solo the breakfast is great so many variety that you think what to take and not

We had a great stay in this historical building. The room (especially the sheets) were clean, the building was amazing (make sure to check out the view from the roof), we enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff were great (and available 24/7). A great place to stay in Stone Town.

Warm and friendly and very helpful staff

Had a lovely stay.

Beautiful historical building and well maintained. Pool is amazing, staff incredibly helpful and lovely. Location perfect close to everything h, walking distance but quiet and private. Willl be the p lo ace I would always stay next time I’m in Zanzibar!

Hotel is magical!! The staff were excellent and arranged a terrific last minute tour of stonetown. The food was great and the atmosphere and history of the building a+.

Ideaal voor stadsbezoek , goede centrale ligging
