Reviews of Dhow Palace Hotel 4 stars

Beautiful building right in the city center.

All was great

Very good breakfast and nice staff.

It it too expansive. The apartment is not renovated and a lot of things are falling apart. Also, there is no bathtub in the apartments.

The hotel was beautiful, beds were comfy, and staff was great!!

I just wished the wifi worked better room.

Great location and truly amazing architecture and design it was almost as if you’d been transported back in time.

A little uncomfortable to relax around the pool

Dhow Palace did feel like a palatial residence. Comfortable accommodations, with a historical feel. We were in a separate building from the main one. Each of our two units had a large sitting room with a sofa for sleeping, a refrigerator, a balcony, and a large bedroom with king sized bed, and additional furniture. The large bathroom featured an elegant, tiled tub with a shower. The main hotel building had common rooms with historic furniture, a pool, and a restaurant. The breakfasts were varied, with many options from which to select. The staff were all friendly and helpful WiFi was good, and there were plenty of outlets in the rooms. The location was a great place from which to explore Stonetown without getting lost

I liked everything.

A very central hotel in stone town. The hotel itself is an amazing facility making you feel you're living inside a museum. Very comfortable amenities. The staff were just wonderful and made us feel at home before we even arrived. Will be back for a longer stay for sure

Nothing

Very central, nice staff and good breakfast

Very poor wi-fi, uncomfortable beds, noise in the early morning

We booked the premium room called Langi Langi. It had a wonderful row of windows with ocean view and a balcony. What came the most pleasantly surprising is the renovated bathroom. It had the European marble look with a shower under the night sky.

The windows were very old, but it's not really a negative thing just adds to the vibe.

Room, people, reception and breakfast!

The swimming pool was very dirty.

A beautiful historic building, well maintained, and a prime location. Welcoming, and attentive staff. Breakfast was very nice and had many options. We ate dinner at the restaurant too, which was nice. If you need a room accessible by lift, make sure to note this beforehand and request, as not all rooms have this option.

Some of the communal facilities like the toilets were a little unclean and not fully equipped. Care should be taken here to take control of the uncomfortably vast amount of (very large!) mosquitos as there were so so many of them.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast with a lot of options and comfortable restaurant area. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is well situated and has shops and restaurants nearby.

Walking distance to the city, beach and shops. Close to the mosque & restaurants. Staff were SO friendly & helpful!

The location and accessibility to other facilities, close to attractions, restaurants and bars.

Dhow Palace hotel is surrounded by a noisy and dusty area, the antique collection in dark brown colour makes the hotel very dark and looks very old.

A great location and well appointed hotel. Friendly staff and the pool was a welcome cool off after a hot day exploring the city.

Nothing

The staff was very nice. We love that they put us a takeaway breakfast together. Rooms were like royalty. Everything was antique which made it more special and the history of the hotel.

Our stay was short. We only could enjoy this hotel for some hrs because of early morning flight.

Really nice place, the beach and the old Fort is nearby

Very conveniently located in the middle of Stone Town's old town. Easy walk to the beach/waterfront. Hotel is extremely charming and beautifully decorated. Our suite was huge, very comfortable, excellent bathroom and balcony. Wifi was strong (!). Breakfast was good, lots of options to choose from, including omelette station.

Our room's floor was very dusty, needed a really good clean. The elevator was very slow, and our room was a climb up a ladder. I found it charming, but perhaps not accessible for all.

Excellent location,and staff were helpful,the building has history and character(was a palace before).The rooms were ckean and bathrooms modern.

Some type of rooms dont have a bathroom door,but i was informed that they are in the process of installing them.And the side lamp wasnt working.
