Room, Balcony, View from the room and Restaurant is really nice. But only one thing they need to improve in their reception customer service.
Room I signed when I check in and Room I really received was different. They changed the room without notice. I asked why they said it's same room inside. But it was totally different. Changed room has no privacy at all. We have to close the window during the stay.
And I asked for late check out when I check in. They told me to check last day in the morning. In last day, I asked again for 2hrs late check out. They refused my request even didn't check the system. Just say NO. I am very disappointed with their attitude. And when I checked the site there were plenty room left.
As everyone knows Zanzibar is the holiday place. Most of 5 star hotels in holiday place, they run check out time very flexible due to flight time. No deserve to have 5 stars in customer service.

The location is perfect. Short walking distance from the main areas in Stonetown. The pool is lovely and the breakfast rooftop view was really nice in the morning. The only downside: i upgraded us to a suit and it was a mistake. There was only an old bathtub and it was really gross. The normal rooms would have been much better to stay in, so don’t upgrade.
Other than that, we had a lovely stay.

The hotel is very close to Stone Town, but it is relatively hard to find in the alley. There are road signs on the roadside, so you need to pay attention. The breakfast restaurant is on the top floor, and the view is not bad, you can see the sea.
Very Good

The room was nice and clean. The service is quite good and proactive. The environment is great. There is also the only Chinese restaurant on Sang Island 300 meters away, which is very cost-effective. Recommended. However, the dolphin watching and prison island recommended by the hotel are relatively expensive, so if possible, look outside.

Utterly enchanting- from our 5am arrival until our departure 3 days later we were looked after so incredibly well. The hotel organised our airport pickup and opened up with a gentle tap (you may need help to find it as it’s in the narrow streets of old Stonetown). The front of house was superb and Peter took care of us. The hotel has so much atmosphere, full of antiques and lush vegetation. Breakfast is in the roof balcony. Excursions can be organised. I had read a few unpleasant reviews but I can’t think why, cleanliness was first class and the hospitality was outstanding. I hope you are lucky enough to find a room - we stayed 3 nights it was so well located.

It's in a great location in the center of town. I was able to walk to anywhere in Stone Town.
The room I stayed in had one queen-size bed. It was a room, but it had no windows and was very dark, so I don't recommend staying in the room during the day. I don't recommend staying in the room during the day.
There was a turndown service, and they sprayed the room with nuts and insect repellent at night. Breakfast was included, but you could choose from three types, and it was very filling and very satisfying.

Very nice hotel. Conveniently located to all Stone Town attractions. If there are any issues the front desk manager will do her best to rectify the situation. My only issue unfixable was the food or maybe It was the water they refill for the rooms. I recommend be on side of caution and drink only bottled water. Don't eat anything uncooked (salads juices made with ice etc.) And you won't spend most of your time in bathrooms.

It happened to be living in the former residence of Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury. It was really an amazing experience. The appearance of the hotel is good, but the internal facilities are average. The bed and pillows are not comfortable, and the breakfast taste is average. It is better than the good location and the experience of this wonderful celebrity's former residence.

I was fortunate to stay here in June for 3 nights and I have to say I am in love with not only Zanzibar and Stone Town but this small boutique hotel, more like a boutique guest house as you are made to feel welcome from the first step inside the beautiful front doors. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and I managed to fit in a back and shoulder massage between exploring the city on my own and the tours that I had organised. As I was traveling alone I did most of my meals at the hotel as after long days it was easier to dine there and then relax on my room. The only issue that may be of concern for anyone that might have some difficulty with stairs is that there is no elevator / lift, so request a room on the lower floor but I have a knee issue and it was not too bad climbing to the second floor.

MmcpoThe following are real pictures and videos I took when I checked into the hotel that day. The room No. 3 on the first floor I checked into that day was originally offered to me, but after waiting for 20 minutes, I was told that there was no room upstairs. Hotel location: Zanzibar Island has convenient transportation. Hotel facilities: Take a look at the pictures for yourself, they were taken on the day of check-in. Looking at the pictures of bedding and linens, the bed is quite comfortable. Disposable slippers are provided. Hotel decoration: see pictures for yourself. Bathroom: There is no dry and wet separation. Breakfast: Look at the pictures for yourself. Hotel service staff: I personally feel that they are very service-minded and quite careless during their stay. The hotel pictures match the actual room pictures.
GGuest UserIt's a great experience. It's surrounded by scenic spots, but the small roads are a bit unsatisfactory. There are dirt roads, but the rest is pretty good.
GGuest UserThe good/ great
Food absolutely beautiful, the breakfast are fantastic, staff are absolutely lovely and can't do enough for you, rooms are clean, quaint and fully of lovely fittings and pictures. Veiw from roof top at night is just gorgeous. Location fantastic, everything easily accessible. Staff super helpful and thoughfull. The hotel is very old but absolutely adorable and full of character. They have gorgeous wines too and they're fairly priced. Gorgeous little court yard with pool and tropical plants throughout the the
Not so good. WiFi mostly off or very poor so I couldn't get much work done. Beds are very firm, caused me a bit of hip pain at times because they're so hard. Soft Mattress topper option would be good in order to solve this.
Would recommend? Absolutely!
JJEONGThe beautiful Zanzibar Island has a sea in front of Baru If you take a walk in the morning, it's close. There are a lot of fruits like pineapple in the morning Make your own omelette with various ingredients I like hot toast and cooking The restaurant is nice by the pool on the first floor I was very impressed with the restaurant staff I was happy to speak Korean at the front desk Ex) Oh ㅠㅠ Close to the city and close to the night market If I go to Zanzibar again, I will definitely go back to the hotel. The room is very big ~
GGuest UserBEYT AL SALAAM was superb. Aminia and team were the nicest people we have met. There kind assistance with all our plans and excursions made our holiday truly unforgettable. The room was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. A large comfortable bed with chrisp white linen and very comfortable pillows. It had an airconditioner, ceiling fan, tv and tea and coffee facilities. A nice indoor swimming pool
TRULY A GEM.
Thank you so much for making our holiday so memorable.
SSashabreakfast is my only issue there its very poor but room ,bathroom was good it was quite l slept like a baby hot shower gives them high score but no kettle or water was not that good especially coming back from a hot day .otherwise the place is better than other places l slept in zanzibar
Is the place which is better to live in at beautifull area at zanzibar stone town, zantriptours with zanzi house both are good for you to save your amount of money, spend less but good services. It's pleasure to see this cheap but beautifull place
AAttila TheHunThe staff were very friendly and helpful, old style hostel but it was clean and some little hearts on the bed , small things to feel welcomed .
The breakfast was excellent. Fresh fruits , juice , eggs salad ,coffee , tea . We really enjoyed our stay .
VvaalerWell, where to start, it's a budget hotel, it works, its central, breakfast is simple but ok, staff are always happy, wifi is stabil and works fine, we hd room 104....... if you don't mind a hotel next to as mosque then it great, we on the other hand didnt appreciate it and were woken up every morning at 5, would I recommend this hotel ? Yes I would, all in all there is no view and a mosque next door, but you get what you pay for, its cheap and works.rooms were clean and tidy, toilet was loose,....... so what for 30 bucks a night
GGuest UserI booked my stay in Stone Town for 1 night as I had a late flight. It was really cheap and really easy. The rooms were clean and the staff (Abdullah) was very helpful in booking airport transfers for me and my friend. What can sometimes be a stressful time was made easy and quick because the staff booked reliable taxis and they also had grear knowledge of the area. I was a little worried when the check-in time was for 14:00 because we arrived at 12-noon. However, the staff got a room ready for us very quickly and we manage to be able to put away our luggage in a locked room giving us few worries. For the price this place is a steal!!
