The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with well-equipped amenities, though the room temperature can be hot despite air conditioning and a fan. The service is very nice and fulfilling, with recommendations for nearby dining options. Its perfect location in Stone Town is great for exploring and safer than it seems due to narrow streets.

The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms with air conditioning and WiFi but was located next to a faulty water pump, providing a quiet stay. The service was exceptional, including helpful local recommendations and friendly assistance. The central location in Stone Town was excellent, though slightly challenging to access from the drop-off point. The dining experience, while served with a nice view, could have been slightly improved. Overall, a convenient and friendly choice with great value for money.

The hotel is centrally located in Stone Town, providing a quiet retreat from the bustling streets. The rooms are decorated in an African style with a spacious bed and mosquito net, offering a cozy escape. The service is exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure guest comfort. The dining options are varied but might not stand out for everyone.
