.The staff and manager were so helpful and organised a trip at short notice to prison islands. The beds were very comfortable, the house staff were great and the towels were always in a lovely design and great service . The breakfast on the terrace was lovely. Would recommend a stay if you are in stone town .

Ok hotel for a one night stop, max 2 nights. Great location for StownTown tour, also close to the airport by taxi 10$/20minutes. Did not catch the names - as a welcome the Receptionist was super friendly, but later during our stay, his colleagues - not so much, just the opposite. We hade an early flight, so we missed the breakfast on the last day, we asked if we could use the missed breakfast as a dinner on the last day with the surcharge- but they did not approve our request. So we paid the full amount for the dinner. Especially thanks to Restaurant staff and the chef, they were so nice, helpful and the food was super teasty.

The biggest compliment I can pay this hotel is that my wife did not complain about anything at all! All the things that she checks first - shower pressure, bed comfiness, aircon, breakfast, room towels, friendly and helpful staff - all received the thumbs-up. Additional Bonuses: For a mid-budget hotel, it is located in a fairly swanky hotel hood:it is virtually a stone throw away from the following - the beach, a fantastic retaurant called "6 degrees" and other great coffee shops and restaurants. Plus, any alleyway you choose to take (eastwards , that is) as you head out to explore Stone Town will lead you to any of the following - the Freddie Mercury museum, the Old Fort, the Night Market and many, many other places which you will discover as you go on your exploratory walk. This place is a gem and I personally, highly recommend it!

Perfect location, and very rich and pleasant breakfast on the roof.
17.08.2023
The room is small, but has everything you need in a hotel. It’s okay, after all, the price is here.
13.08.2023
Really good value for money. The hotel is not five star, but it is in a great location and the service is great. Hotel is located one block from Park Hyatt, and within close distance to beach front restaurants.
23.07.2023
A truly lovely place with great location!
The manager Hassan was extremely helpful, always smiling, ready for an advice, feedback and joke. Saumu handled my tours/excursions and she was also great!
My room was spacious and very clean. For breakfast they offer an entire menu.
Loved every second of it, definitely recommend it!

This is an absolutely horrible hotel in every aspect. Avoid it at all costs! It's overpriced and deserves maximum 1 or 2 stars. The rooms are so moldy, I could hardly breathe and sleep at night! It felt like I would breathe in all those mold spores. Also, be prepared to be woken up at 5am by a nearby mosque.
Additionally to the horrible old rooms, the hotel management seems to like to rip off their clients: As I had some stomach problems, I kindly asked for some porridge for breakfast instead of the fatty, sweet and unhealthy breakfast they offer. They asked me to pay 10 USD (!) for that porridge, which is unbelievable because it's like the cheapest breakfast you could have! What a scam! Furthermore, the Nepali guy at the reception is very disrespectful and has no manners! He should not work in tourism.
This is a hotel for backpacker and not worth more than 10 or 20 USD a night. I really don't understand the good reviews. Avoid it!
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
