The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Stone Town, offering a cozy stay with a lovely terrace to relax. The room, though not very spacious, provides a comfortable vibe with air conditioning. The service, especially from Manager Rebecca, and all the staff members, is exceptional. The hotel's location in the old town is excellent for exploring the markets and attractions, but it's tucked away in a narrow alley. Dining options provide a delightful view along with a variety of choices, including homemade dishes. Overall, a charming and authentic stay in Stone Town.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, nestled in the bustling heart of Stone Town, surrounded by shops and cafes. The rooms are cozy and inviting, with a nice terrace to relax. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to Manager Rebecca. The dining options provided a unique taste experience with a great view of the city. However, the private bathroom down the hall was a bit inconvenient. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with a clean and comfortable room and friendly staff. While the air conditioning was not very strong, it was still comfortable. The external but private bathroom added a unique touch to the room. The location was great, not far from the market. However, the narrow street of Stone Town made it a bit busy near the café.

The hotel is located in the heart of the capital, in a former palace with a fantastic view of the city. The rooms are cozy and not very big but comfortable with four-poster beds and a nice terrace to chill, yet the dining experience is average with limited options. The service, especially from Manager Rebecca and all staff members, is top-notch. The facilities are decent, and the location is busy in the cafe but close to everything.
