Very good

Nice place to visit stone town, main attractions reachable by foot.

The house is a beautiful oasis in the heart of stone town. Decoration is amazing, spacious rooms and good AC. Nice shady pool. Food was good.

We booked a massage, it was not the best.

Central, good food, friendly staff

Very central, nice and spacious rooms, friendly staff! Food was also really good!

The bed ist quite hard and not extremely comfortable. It is also good to know that you get woken up at 5 an from the muezzin from the nearby mosque. This is the same in all of stone town and it didnt bother us too much.

Positively delighted stay in Stone Town

Its a beatiful building originating from the Oman empire which was restored and it has a lot of charm. The staff at the hotel were very nice and have helped us with everything: renting a car, booking a tour, showing us where to buy sunscreen the location is great, very close to the Zanzibar ferry. We also liked the shampoos, shower gel and body cream which were good quality. Not a lot of hotels in Tanzania provide this.

The bed is made for short people. My husband couldnt stretch his legs in it. Also the toilet is in the same room separated only by a few columns and a courtan. It would be nice to have it separate.

Pleasant

I spent one night here. Located in a good location to get around stone town. I thought the welcome drink was a good gesture .

I was to leave early and the staff who was serving that morning did not seem to understand a lot of things. The room that I was given which is on the ground floor had a smell of dampness (It didn't bother me cause I was here for one night).
