This hotel is EXCELLENT!!! The room, staff, food and hospitality is the best I had in Tanzania! Big hugs to everyone there as you made me feel as if I were home with family!

A hotel of beautiful traditional architecture with stunning decor throughout. Its location in Stone Town made it convenient to the main tourist sites and the boat to Prison Island . Despite the heat a well functioning air conditioner made the beautiful room very comfortable. Lovely breakfasts and delicious cakes and of course coffee for afternoon tea.

Charming and atmospheric property right in the heart of Stone Town's narrow alleyways. Love the vibe and breakfast on the roof!

Un des meilleurs hôtels que j’ai pu faire, en accueil, propreté, service de chambre, restauration

The room air conditioner worked well along with the room fan. The room was lovely, comfortable and clean. The staff were amazing. I highly recommend this Stonetown hotel.

Det er enkel standard, forventet mer fra ratinger de har fått. Man blir også låst inne på kveldstid og føles litt innestengt.

Basic continental breakfast with omelette served. Only coffee was good. had a horrible encounter from start where delayed by flight and got to hotel after 12pm (not hotels fault) but were given a small room with bathroom access outside by rude staff. I refused that room as I didn’t want a hostel style bathroom and later given another room with en suite. When I complained to manager next day she said we would not pay any additional services for which I was thankful. However on the day of check out I was told that I had to leave room by 10 am . I asked for late check out as I was still having breakfast at 9.35 (breakfast timing was till 10am) and staff kept coming to me during my breakfast that I would be paying extra if I overstayed. I went down to tell manager that I still needed to shower to which response was that I should have had breakfast earlier. She eventually agreed to 10.30 reluctantly and I was rushed to complete breakfast and leave room with my luggage downstairs. I had to spend an additional hour and half waiting for my driver which I called at 12 pm as above was unprecedented. During that time manager passed several times not asking once about our stay etc and instead came up to ask in an intimidating way about us still waiting in lobby. We felt totally unwelcome by that point. Other cons of hotel: no lift to carry luggage up many stairs, restaurant closes at 6 pm and no notice was given of operating hours, light in room above window, no hot water in shower etc

Property was clean and well maintained. Very central location.

Værelset var enkelt, rent og holdt i traditionel Zanzibar stil. Personalet familiære og humoristiske. Der var stemning og indimellem spontan sang. Central placering i Stonetown.

Amazing place from the fantastic room with all the charming details to the rooftop and of course the best coffee in town.

Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Night doorman concept annoying. Coffee shop concept can result in needing to wait for hotel service. Water is hot but pressure non existent - you can get more pressure pouring a water bottle on your body.

This was a neat place to stay in the heart of the old part of Stone Town. Quaint, but with modern amenities like AC. I had a private bathroom down the hall which was clean and not far. Older building with stairs but I enjoyed my stay and felt it was worth it for sure.

I had an amazing time at the coffee house! The room was very beautiful and breakfast exceptional but the highlight for me was the staff. They are what made my stay great!

Een mooi hotel in een historisch pand in Stonetown. Heerlijke koffie, gebak en kleine hapjes. Het personeel is zeer behulpzaam.

Welcoming

The coffee history in an unique place in the heart of stone town. Thank you, for you simpathy. All of you Will stay in my soul. Hope to see u again Asante sana Hakuna Matata

This place was absolutely beautiful and very historic. The cherry on top was the AMAZING service. We only spent one night here but wish we were able to stay more. Very close to the water and lots of shopping around.

This place is a gem, great coffee, unique place within maze of city

This place was fantastic! The staff was so friendly, caring, and accomodating. Both my daughters stayed there and were delighted that they received a free welcome drink from the cafe, which had excellent coffee and baked goods. They loved how the towels were made into animals and placed on their beds, along with welcoming words spelled out in coffee beans on the beds. The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The room and the hotel are beautifully decorated. We all loved the rooftop terrace and the wonderful, friendly women that served us. It was also an excellent value. My daughters felt very safe staying there. They would stay there again and recommend to others!

Beautiful old building with a fabulous rooftop terrace. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the suites which was lovely.
