Excellent location and very easy to walk to from any area of Stone Town, would recommend
11.05.2025
Very nice, impressive hotel style
27.04.2025
Very nice house, or classical architecture like a museum, very quiet and comfortable, I highly recommend
18.02.2025
We stayed at the hotel. We stayed in room 224. There was a strong smell of damp in the room. Everything else was fine.
05.09.2024
You live as if in a palace-museum. Everything is so suffocating with history, well, or on the palm. I liked it. The pool is cool. The terrace too. Cons - I would like newer and better quality bed linen and a modern split system instead of a noisy and ineffective window air conditioner.
05.09.2024
A chic hotel in an old style, there is a swimming pool, a huge plus. After the stuffy city, go straight to it
05.09.2024
Fantastic interior. Takes you back 120 years for sure. Very atmospheric. But the food in the restaurant is not great, especially the pizza. Need to work on that.
12.08.2024
Fabulous location. I enjoyed seeing all the curated old artifacts and reading up on the 500 year history of the place. The people were wonderful. The room was comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was modern and clean. I’d stay there again.
11.08.2024
Such a lovely hotel for a very affordable price. Located in the city center next to those winding shopping streets, very stylish with the vintage furniture on the inside and incredibly helpful staff!
07.07.2024
Pros:

- Centrally located
- Good architecture and interiors
- Decent breakfast spread

Cons:

- Extremely poor service
- Room was shabby and unclean
- Electricity went off twice in the night when we were asleep. Had to go down to the reception at 4 AM and ask the staff to fix it, as the phone in the room did not work. Again, it went off around 7 AM
