I took a standard king room with mosquito netting and ac, for instance. Favourable and incredible location close to everything, met needs well.
The staff was weird.

Overall clean place with very responsive and incredibly helpful staff and panoramic view right on the ocean. Perfect and excellent location for Zanzibar, not far from beach front and Forodhani gardens, beautiful Zanzibar and selected areas. The hotel of choice in Zanzibar.

This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of a historic area. The rooms are well-appointed with all the essential amenities and the beds are very comfortable. The hotel is located on a quiet back street, yet it is in walking distance from all the tourist attractions. One of the highlights of this hotel is the open-air roof top terrace where breakfast is served with a wonderful view of the surrounding buildings. The hotel managers are very friendly and ready to give recommendations on what to see and where to eat. a great stay!

The location was great with easy access to Zanzibar's attractions. It was just steps away from the best fish restaurant, main tourist areas, and shops.

William
The hotel's location just off the main tourist strip, right in downtown, was perfect for exploring the city center of this historic city. The staff at the hotel, especially Santosh the manager, were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The clean and well-maintained rooms, with comfortable beds and functioning AC, provided a relaxing space to rest. The breakfast buffet on the rooftop was impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious local fruits and hot dishes.
Didn't dislike anything about the hotel.

The whole place was spotlessly clean with panoramic views. Ideal location close to the most tourist attractions and the lively market. The rooms were brand-new with Colonial decor and down pillows. Perfect location next to restaurants, the coastline, and "Al-Minar". Enjoyed our stay in Stone Town.

This hotel is a great value for money, with basic amenities, comfortable rooms, and a very friendly staff. It is located in the centre of Stone Town, close to all the tourist attractions, on a quiet street. The rooms have all the essential amenities and the bed is very comfortable. Breakfast is served on an open-air roof terrace with a wonderful view of the surrounding buildings.
The only drawback was the noise from the nearby mosque.
