    Would do it again!
    Overall amazing experience! Staff is on-par and super hospitable! We ordered Avocado Salad. They did not have fresh avocados so they sent someone running to the closest market to get some. Rooms with the pool view are BomB!
    Only thing you might find a little different is the food - but thats how it is there so Size of room could be a little big bigger, but the high ceiling is what makes up a lot!

    Dissapointed.
    Great location. Staff were very helpful. They did take a small amount of money off for the inconvenience of the room but still not worth the money. Breakfast was good.
    TV was not connected, Aircon was not working well and the room was extremely hot, therefore it was impossible to sleep well. No bath plug, even though the amazing bath was pointed out on arrival, only one cup in a couples room (Also pointed out on arrival) Swimming pool was not clean at the time we were there.

    Very impressive old Arab palace with amazing decor, friendly staff and convenient location but but needs a bit of a reva
    Quite spectacular old Arabian palace within walking distance of most places in Stone Town with pool
    It is getting a little dated and showing signs of needing some TLC eg broken piece off bed end, shower unit head didnt adjust. Free breakfast a bit unimpressive with every pot of yoghurt tried on both days off and not much choice late in morning and hot milk tasted bad.
