The room was clean but too damp. The whole room smelled damp. The price was not cheap. There was a resident singer on the top floor of the hotel until 22:30. If you didn't listen, it was like living in a KTV downstairs. The breakfast and the paid a la carte dinner were not good. I ordered an expensive seafood platter (see the picture). The half lobster in it tasted like it had been dead for a long time. The meat tasted powdery. And their meals are really not cheap.

The front desk service is good. The hotel is in a very good location, suitable for visiting the downtown area. The facilities in the room are relatively old

Loved this place, everything was great, food, drinks, pool, gym.. baggage storage after check out. Wish i had more time.. and the aircon after 3 weeks without any was the icing on top of the cake.. bed was really comfortable. They allowed an early check in too.. i have absolutely nothing bad to say 👌 staff really friendly and polite as well

After spending one night in Zanzibar to prepare for boarding the ship, we chose this lovely hotel in Stone Town. What you see is what you get, clean and comfortable, convenient location, convenient for shopping, close to the pier, and there are good Chinese restaurants nearby. Overall very satisfied.
