Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Stone Town, providing easy access to all the attractions while offering spacious and clean rooms with essential amenities. The service is exceptionally friendly and goes the extra mile to assist guests. The dining experience, although prompt, may need improvements in terms of consistency.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly spacious, clean, and beautiful, and I adored having a private balcony with a stunning view of the fort right from my room. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to help us, even lending us money when the money exchanges were closed. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Stone Town, making it convenient to explore everything. The dining experience was simple but provided everything I needed to start my day. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend.
