I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated in Zanzibar style, very comfortable, and immaculately clean. The service was exceptional, especially Alex and Safia at the restaurant, who were incredibly warm and friendly. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to the beach, restaurants, and historical sites in Stone Town. However, the breakfast could have offered slightly better quality options. Overall, a great value for a cozy and welcoming stay in Stone Town.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was cozy and clean, but the ongoing construction next door was a bit bothersome. The service was top-notch with hospitable and knowledgeable staff, although there was a small hiccup with the taxi arrangement. The location was great for exploring Stone Town, despite being in the middle of narrow alleys. The dining was fabulous with a wide variety of food choices but lacked coffee/tea options. Overall, a decent stay with a few hiccups.
