    The staff were nice and helpful, arranging everything we needed including transport to the hospital. The room was clean and well-equipped with amenities. The location was central and convenient for exploring Stone Town. The breakfast on the terrace was enjoyable.

    Almost perfect.

    We had an amazing stay in this hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist us, even arranging transportation to the hospital when we needed it. The room was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities we could ask for, including tea, a hair dryer, and shower essentials. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach, restaurants, and the ferry to other places. The breakfast was simple but delicious, and the staff always made sure we had everything we needed.

    Nothing to be said.

    Spent Christmas at a hotel in Zanzibar. We enjoyed the beautiful traditional Arabic atmosphere and the helpful staff who organized great tours for us. The breakfast served on the top floor with a view of the city was amazing. We also loved the location, only a quick walk to the beach and the nearby Forhadani food stalls.

    The room was small and there wasn't enough room for our luggage. We also encountered some noise at night from other guests.

    If you are looking for a romantic escape, you may want to consider staying in this charming hotel, located in the heart of Stone Town. the stunning building has a Chinese restaurant on the rooftop, which serves delicious meals with a beautiful view of the city skyline. the staff is friendly and helpful, offering bottled water daily to make your stay comfortable. One major plus is the hotel's location, close to restaurants and the marina, making it easy to explore the city.

    There are some aspects to keep in mind. the breakfast can be a bit disappointing, with limited options and not always fresh fruit.

    We had a wonderful time exploring the city from this hotel's perfect location. Just next to the ferry, it was easy to get to other places. the room was small but had everything we needed, including air conditioning and towels. the bathroom was clean and had hot water. Although breakfast was simple, it was delicious and served on the top floor with a great view of the city.

    The walls were thin and noise from the street could be heard at night.
