This hotel is nice and the location is in the heart of Stone Town SO be aware that vehicles CANNOT access the hotel. We were coming from climbing Kilimanjaro so had heavy non-wheeling bags which we had to carry a short distance.

Our room was on first floor landing and was a bit noisy as people would need to walk past our room. No sound insulation in these lovely old houses in stone town. So don’t expect total peace and quiet in this location. It’s also very expensive and the restaurant whilst good was pricey by comparison to others.

Location, safety, friendly service. Great food and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Room no 3 was spacious and comfortable. Beautifully and sympathetically styled throughout. It’s very stylish in comparison to many other stone town hotels - But it is expensive also. Perfect for a one night stop before/ after the flight.

The location is absolutely perfect for everything we wanted to do in Stone Town. The room was really nice. The staff were all extremely friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was huge and one of the best I've ever had!

aesthetic, great bathroom and shower (nice hot water), breakfast was good too - walking distance to all the sites you’d probably want to see in stonetown on a self guided walk. helpful staff

You are in the centre of the town so it can be noisy from the surrounding environment.

Very comfortable rooms, lots of extras in the room- yoga mats, umbrella. Helpful staff - family atmosphere

Signage for the hotel could be better and more prominent. The location is great and very central in Stone Town, but I wouldn’t stay here if traveling as a solo female because waking back at night can be uncomfortable.

Staff were friendly. They always confirmed first if there were any extras to be charged. The room is comfortable and really feels like a retreat.

pressure to leave the room early - no late checkout and very aggressive penalty in case of a delay - USD 70 extra if u vacate the room by 1 PM

Be aware this is really in the center of Stone Town. The “streets” are extremely narrow, no vehicles allowed. This is an attraction but be aware that a very short walk will be required from your taxi. Not a negative for me but be aware.

Quiet though in the center of Stone Town Service very good. Excellent breakfast I felt very safe wherever I went day or night, just use your normal city street sense.

No lotion nor vanity kit

Great welcome with cold towels and fresh local drinks, nice rooms with unique decoration. Many things for our use in the room that we did not expect. The food is the best in Zanzibar, so don't miss to take the room with breakfast and dinner. The staff is so professional even if something serious happened to you during your stay. I really advise you to choose this hotel during your stay in Stone Town

Rooms could be a little bit bigger

Really nice stay in stone town, tucked away in a side street away from the hustle and bustle but ideally located to be very close to what there is to explore. Really good breakfast, air con and very nice regal rooms that felt traditional.

We stayed here for 2 nights before moving on to beach areas of Zanzibar. For location in Stone Town, you can ask for much more. Perfect. The hotel itself was great & the staff wonderful. The breakfast at this place is insane! This was part of our honeymoon & they made it that bit extra special. Thankyou

Stone town center, 3 minutes walk from the seafront. Tasting the city life and relaxing in a comfortable room with superb beds, even for larger western European body type and weight. 20 minutes ride from the airport, so ideal to not have to travel more than an hour after a 14h flight. The staff was full attention and too kind. Nothing to complain. We stayed 5 nights and would have stayed 5 more nights easy!

They had a wierd thing where they wernt allowing guests to visit in the room.

Everything about the hotel was good, espcially how they have converted the old structure and brought in comfort to it.

We can’t say enough good things about this hotel and its lovely staff. Ruby and other staff were lovely to us when we had issues with our luggage not arriving and when we asked to change rooms due to a noise issue. Breakfast was delicious with lots of great quality food, and the location is super central and close to all the little shops.

Super big room with super friendly staff, very good showers and beds, only 15 minutes to the airport and in the middle of everything you need to see and do in stone town!
