The hotel's rooms were spacious and grandly presented in a historical building, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped although the TV was small, not a big deal given the location. The service was helpful and welcoming, going the extra mile for guests. The location was a perfect base for exploring Stone Town, close to restaurants, the ferry, and the airport. The dining experience was excellent overall, with a minor complaint on the last day. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay enjoyable.

The hotel is situated in the historical area of Stone Town, making it convenient for sightseeing and shopping. The rooms are very spacious, perfect for accommodating a group of three, although some doors didn't close properly. The service was exceptional, particularly the young and professional manager, along with the friendly and accommodating staff. The dining experience provided a vast selection but could benefit from more variety. Despite these, the location, service, and facilities add great value for the money.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was extremely big and comfortable, with air conditioning and a comfortable bed, making it a clean and cozy space, although it could use some upgrading, especially in the bathroom/toilet area. The service was top-notch, with friendly and welcoming staff who even went out of their way to assist me in finding the best currency exchange. The location, while needing updating, was convenient and central, perfect for exploring Stone Town. The dining experience, although with some flaws, offered fresh fruit and made-to-order eggs but could be improved further. The facilities were decent, providing the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

6.8/10

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were large, comfortable, and nicely designed with local furniture, but on the downside, our room was quite worn out, smelly, and had a cracked bath that was unusable. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff always ready to assist, though the bicycle hire service was convenient. The location was excellent, right in the heart of Stone Town with easy access to key attractions, but the issue with the tap water taste was a drawback. The dining options were average, with repetitive meals that became tiresome after a few days. Overall, it was a well-located hotel with friendly service, but the room condition and dining variety could be improved.
