    Very good
    This accommodation whilst a little different had lots of character.
    Breakfast location overlooking the town was lovely and the staff were keen to please and accommodate our needs. The rooms were quite ornate but we liked the cultural difference it offered.
    Lighting in the rooms was a little dim.

    Overall good, but not a 4 star.
    Very good location. The building it self is exceptional. The staff are friendly and reliable, as long as your are in the hotel. Breakfast is very good. The restaurant is spectacular with its 360 view, and we tried their Bohra menu which is sensational.
    Room was outdated. Toilet seat cover was broken, all taps had scale build up, towel rail was rusty and broken, giving a feeling of uncleanness. Toilet did not had a door!!! and bathtub/shower was part of the room. In general the room had a feeling of an adult hotel room. Finally, the hotel offers some excursions, which I tried to book before my arrival, no matter the reminders I've send them, I had no response back.

    A short stay in Stone Town
    It is a typical house in Stone Town which gives a great cultural context. The staff was great, prepared us a packed breakfast since our flight was very early. Also provided an airport transfer. It is very easy to access and great to support visiting Stone Town.
    The room feels a bit heavy and carpets and textiles over the bed feel a bit old. To lock the door from the inside is tricky. There was a lot of noise outside until 11 pm and then a very loud sound from the mosque at 5 am.

    Great central location and lots of attractions, restaurants/bars and the beach within walking distance. The hotel and room interiors were really cozy, rooms are spacious, and staff was friendly.
    It was really noisy past midnight as the hotel is located in a busy street which made it difficult to sleep, and noisy very early morning as well. You can also hear everything going on outside your room - people, staff, cleaning etc. My bed wasn't clean (dirt spots) which I only noticed when I was going to sleep past midnight, so I decided to spread out towels to sleep on - and the bed wasn't super comfortable. The room was too dark for my liking (not a lot of light) but the design of the room was really cool. Toilet doesn't have a door which is not ideal for friends /couples who want to share a room, and the shower is literally in the bedroom too. Hot water stayed hot for 5 mins only and then went ice cold while I was showering. Overall though, the location was good, price was reasonable, and the hotel is pretty cool. I didn't raise complaints about any of the above as I was only staying for 1 night and couldn't be bothered.

    A gem of a place to stay, so glad we ignored other reviews,
    Traditional architecture and lovely paintings, photographs and artefacts which add to the ambience. Rooftop breakfast has amazing views. Staff really helpful and friendly. Perfect location inside Stonetown,
    Nothing to dislike

    The location. literally in the middle.
    The poor maintenance and the NO WIFI in the rooms issue. (They said bc of the thickness of the walls)
