One of the best hotels in Stone Town, they assisted me in many things including getting a sim card which saved me a lot of money had I bought it at the airport.

It is a historic antique hotel. It was my first time staying in this type of hotel, but it was a good experience. The room was a little too big for my comfort, and I couldn't get used to the high bed. There is air conditioning and a refrigerator. Shampoo and a hair dryer will be provided upon request. They also do turndown service. The toilet has no ceiling, so you can hear everything, so it may not be suitable for couples. Also, it is undeniable that it is old, and I was bothered by the moldy smell from the moment I entered. The staff all provide excellent service. They accommodated my request for a late check-out free of charge (because it was raining heavily). The breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was very delicious. However, there is no elevator, so if you are concerned about your health, the steep stairs may be difficult.

Stunning Hotel in the heart of Stone Town. So much character and charm! Sitting on the balcony watching the streets below was an absolute treat - as was the rooftop restaurant. We tried the seafood tasting menu which included some real gems along with some unfamiliar taste combinations. The call for prayer at the nearby mosque was quite loud - at 5.10 in the morning - but we quickly fell asleep again in the nice 4-poster bed.

The hotel’s decor and ambience were absolutely lovely. I had a beautifully spacious room with a balcony. The rooftop provides a wonderful venue for breakfast and dinner. The hotel arranged a transfer from the airport- very helpful as the hotel is located in the midst of Stone Town’s maze of lanes.

This is a beautiful hotel. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. Air conditioning plus a ceiling fan makes the room comfortable for sleeping. My room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. The internal courtyard makes the hotel very quiet. The rooftop is lovely for breakfast and dinner or the Secret Garden within the hotel compound is also lovely for a meal. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the seafront.
