Booked superior seaview room and seaview window is at toilet which is higher than normal people eye level. Double check if breakfast is included in the booking in hotels.com as the website offer two breakfast option with different price which is a bit confusing. Tried to contact hotel to confirm via booking website and official hotel email address a few time but no luck.

The room was clean, and housekeeping came by every day to clean and replace the towels. For the first two mornings, there was no hot water early in the morning. After I reported it, they sent a housekeeping staff member to verify the issue before alerting maintenance. By the following morning, it had been fixed, and I finally got to enjoy a blissfully hot shower. My room was next to one of Stone Town’s many alleyways, so there was almost always activity and noise late into the night. As a light sleeper, I found this quite challenging. The rooftop restaurant has some of the best views in Stone Town. Just be prepared to share the space with lots of birds—they can be quite persistent while you’re trying to eat! Overall, I think Seyyida is a decent place to stay in Stone Town. That said, there are other hotels that don’t have these issues. The second hotel I stayed at (not Seyyida) was almost perfect, so you definitely have options. Even so, Seyyida isn’t a bad choice at all.

Breakfast is great though not buffet. The location is in the middle of stone town and very near to the sea and the night market location. Staff is so friendly. I prefer if the toilet has door instead of a curtain. The room was without telephone but it was very near to the reception desk so it was ok.

Fint hotell midt i Stone Town. Store gode room og god seng. Kort vei til smågater og det lokale markede. Fin restaurant på takterrassen.

The hotel staffs are not really friendly….

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.

Beautiful hotel and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Restaurant sur le roof top vraiment agréable. Personnel gentil et dynamique.

Das Zimmer war sehr hellhörig, noch dazu mit Blick auf ein direkt gegenüber liegendes Gebäude, sodass es im Zimmer kein Sonnenlicht gab und es meist dunkel war und zudem laut. Frühstück ist mit a la Carte sehr begrenzt. Positiv waren die Sauberkeit sowie der Pool und die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter.

The shower could use updating and amenities in the bedrooms (bar soap, face tissues)

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.

Excellent location, many shops and restaurants nearby. Very close to the beach. We had a fantastic room with a lovely sea view. Clean and inviting pool area. Very good breakfast and helpful staff.

Um lindo pôr do sol no terraço do hotel!

A classic old building well maintained and beautifully decorated. MARIE MARIE MARIE. YOUARE THE BEST

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.

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

Bra hotell, vänlig personal, bra restaurang 👍

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.

Altough the ad clearly states breakfast included, it was not breakfast included. We could prove how the ad states breakfast included the receptionist just told us «it’s not her fault, so it’s not her problem». Just shocked at how horrible the service was. If you do eat breakfast there, beware of the birds, they might not let you finish the breakfast before they try to steal everything. Didn’t get the room we booked either, and they clearly have a negative attitude towards certain tourists. The beds by the pool are broken, and it’s not always cleaned. Honestly can’t recommend staying here.
