"Nice hotel in the main area of Stone Town. The B&B was close to the main hotel and for half the price it was worth the short walk for breakfast and the pool. It’s right on the beach as well which is nice to watch the sunset at night. The apartments were a bit noisy at night but overall a nice place. They have an airport pick up which was easy and a short drive. Laundry service was available as well. Only note is that the gentleman who supported the B&B was pushy about getting us on a tour or...

"Lovely property in a quiet corner of Stonetown. Great swimming pool. Historic quality of hotel added a charming feel. Most rooms overlook the ocean. The amenities were complete and the room was very comfortable. Spend a little extra to get an outside balcony or verandah. The staff was wonderful and helpful. There are lots of restaurants nearby. I can't speak for the food at the on property restaurant since I had to leave early and skipped the breakfast. I would definitely stay here...

"This is my second stay there. One thing that need to be improved is renovation as hotel is very old. House keeping does not fill room with coffees, teas when it's run out. Restaurant serves breakfast at 7 but staff does not come until 7:40. No beach towels even though hotel is closer to the beach. Those things need some improvement but other than that the area around hotel is nice, the old charm of the hotel is beautiful. But it looks like when staff see gay couple traveling together they gave...
