The best was the staff from the reception to cleaners to restaurant/bar/pool/spa and concierge and the driver. Attentive, kind, polite and professional. And very funny. The location was great and within easy reach of places of interest to us. A lovely hotel with old world charm. Fully enjoyed.

Really charming and authentic hotel offering a real Zanzibari experience

“A Solid option”
03 Dec 2024
- customer service was fantastic. From Sulaiman greeting us at the front door with such positive energy, to Soija upgrading our room at reception, to Youssef giving us an insightful tour of the historical hotel. - the breakfast and dinner were both INCREDIBLE each day. High quality. - location was placed perfectly. Close to both the airport and boats for Prison Island, and walking around Stone Town was pretty cool. - more police presence and cameras made us feel really safe. We did not experience any danger at all during our visit. The people were actually very welcoming and friendly.

“Perfect stay”
18 Nov 2024
Prime location on beach and easy walking distance to waterfront and lanes of Stone Town and restaurants. Staff really helpful organising taxis and trips. Sunsets impressive, lots of local dhows and fishing boats pass the front of the hotel. Building has lots of character.
