The best last night stay in Zanzibar!
Great experience all round! Not sure why the stars aren’t higher as it was such a nice stay. The staff were welcoming, friendly and really went above and beyond for myself and partner.

The location of the property is fabulous if you want to get the historic feel of Zanzibar. The seafront is stone's throw sway on one side and the shops are stone's throw away on the other side. There is ample choice of restaurants within walking distance.

Great location for the walking tour, Old Fort, and Forodhani Gardens. Their staff was great - making sure we could quickly grab a pizza before our walking tour. Breakfast in the morning was also good. Unfortunately, we weren't made aware of the switch on the wall to turn on the water heater, so I had a cold shower in the morning.

Good Place to Stay
Location was excellent in Stone Town. It was safe, friendly and clean. Service and manager were phenomenal. Not one piece of comfortable furniture, bed was adequate. Room had good air conditioner but TV was fuzzy. Breakfast was average, fruit was good.

Could be better based on the price
Good location close to the Forodhani night market. We couldn't sleep due to the noise outside from the other Air-condition, and from the people cleaning and preparing breakfast from 6am.

Very well located
Very well located, in front of the old fort. The hotel has a diesel generator, wich is important in Zanzibar since the eletricity is not reliable. One day in the morning rained a lot and the eletricity was down but right after the generator took over. Great breakfast. A small but good pool in the top floor. The room was big. Very good hotel.

Great … but the Wi-Fi sucked!
Everything was good or even vert good, like the room 403 on top by the pool, EXCEPT the Wi-Fi up in the room totally sucked. The signal went in and out and when it was there, it was very weak. But for the money I paid during low season overall, except the Wi-Fi it was a good value.

Perfekt läge
Perfekt läge i Stone Town. Precis bredvid gamla fortet, nattmarknaden på andra sidan vägen med alla små stånd och den underbara matmarknaden med tillagade läckerheter. Gångavstånd till katedralen och gamla slavmarknaden. Helt ok frukost, vi bad om omelett och den var utsökt. Går utmärkt att gå till färjeläget.
