This is situated in the middle of Stone Town but is enclosed with two courtyards and a restaurant. My room was on the third floor. There are plants and coconut palms within the courtyard/ restaurant and a small swimming pool. By the lift is a bookcase with second hand books (I contributed a couple of books). The restaurant was excellent value at dinner and welcoming. My room had a kitchenette. My bed had a mosquito net and I particularly liked the fact that every evening a woman came to sort the mosquito net out, close the windows and spray the room with mosquito killer.

Payment was demanded in cash when I arrived and I was escorted to the nearest ATM which didn't help because I couldn't withdraw the required amount. I was particularly annoyed because I had guaranteed the room with my credit so the money was available. This business with credit cards - it is erratic. One minute cards work and then they don't because of the signal. Television had to be tuned and then I could only get a couple of stations, Africa Today and a channel showing a drama in Arabic. Also at night even if I switched it off, the television light lit up the room.

I likes The design of The hotel; it was so chick and relaxed. Loved the bar and restaurant surroundings. The staff were really nice and helpful especially at resturant. People responsible for arranging attractions were very good. Loved the comfort of the bed and the strong pressure of water at the shower. However there is a strange smell in the bathroom if you don’t put on the fan ventilator all the time. Location was perfect: love it. Spa service was like no one is attracted to. I did not try it but I think they should do more interactive job here to attract people. In total it was a very nice hotel🙏

Smell in bathroom. Giving more towels as we were two and two towels are not enough. The room card was a problem as we were two and we needed two cards, but they don’t have. This was inconvenient.

The staff is super friendly and very helpful, especially the cooks and the waiters/waitresses working with Charles at the restaurant, and Nelson from reception who will quickly solve any small problem you may have. It feels like a family run hotel and a well-managed place, workers are cleaning the outside area all the time for example. As for the hotel itself, very nice room and bathroom, perfectly cleaned daily by the house keeping staff, comfortable bed, amazing breakfast with lot of homemade food, small but nice swimming pool, very pleasant outside restaurant serving quality food especially fish. I stayed there for 1 month, eating at the restaurant every day, and I really enjoyed my stay!

Poor wifi overall, especially in the room. Sometimes a bad smell in the room around 10-11am. The reconstruction of the building in front of the hotel can be a bit noisy at times, it's also taking ages (not much has been done since I was here last year).

Spacious room Air conditioning Spa available Swimming pool

Lack of local tv channels In my room only …Omani TV channel and Chinese international CGTN network!

The location of the hotel was great, central therefore easy access to all the main spots. There are great restaurants around and stores so its easy to get anything you need. The rooms have been renovated to make them look more modern so they are in great condition and neat. Good value for money.

Some of the rooms I booked from the pictures did not match what was available, especially the double rooms had two different beds yet the pictures shows two same size and type of bed. We found some of the rooms not ready by the time we arrived they were still cleaning. Check in process was a bit lengthy, the staff were kinda slow we had to wait at the receptions for a while. The internet kept logging out so had to log in every other time when we came back to the hotel this meant having to go to the reception to get the password.

We loved the garden area with the pool and the restaurant. The room was small but comfortable and easily dried out with the air conditioning. The location was perfect for walking around the town and being close to cafes and restaurants as well as walkable from the ferry port.

We were told we would get breakfast boxes upon early checkout because we had to catch the early ferry, but nothing was prepared and the reception person was rude about it. Would have liked the pool to be open longer.

For the price, this place was a steal. The rooms are bigger than the pictures. There is a kitchen and a large bathroom with a hot shower. The staff are all extremely friendly and greet you whenever you meet. They're all cheerful and went above and beyond to make our stay more comfortable. They let us store our luggage when we arrived and left the hotel. The breakfast was amazing with a huge variety and fresh juice. The swimming pool was very refreshing to jump into. We had dinner and lunch a few times here and each time the food tasted good and was appropriately priced. The location is amazing and is located in the centre of stone town. It is in a safe area and at no time did I feel unsafe. It is less than a minute away from markets selling souvenirs and 3 minute walk away from the sea front.

A nice hotel with good ambiance right in the heart of Stone Town. Vehicles can't drive up to the entrance so you have to walk a short way from where you're dropped off. Didn't use the pool but it looked inviting. We ate one night at the hotel restaurant - staff was friendly and food was good. Breakfast was buffet style with an egg station. Rooms were a good size and comes with a small kitchen and a fridge. Bathroom was clean, although there's the occasional smell of sewer so we closed the door. Some rooms have a small balcony, and the elevator was a real plus for hauling luggage to the 3rd floor. There's a spa attached to the hotel. Had a massage and facial which was enjoyable.

Apart from the smell in the bathroom, there wasn't much to complain about. A very decent hotel overall.

The reception staff was very helpful - all of our luggage was late over 24 hours and the personel proactively helped us to track it with the airport staff and organised a taxi driver who helped us to find it. They were open to all requests we have. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and the location of the hotel was very comfortable - close to all atractions of Stone Town, in it’s very heart. It allowed us to discover the streets full of local life and shops. Good standard for the price.

we spent our honeymoon at antonio garden hotel. The hotel was the right choice. The staff was friendly and efficient. Our room was clean and it was cleaned every day carefully, a nice bonus was also the opening of the bed every night. The restaurant connected to the hotel was also of high quality, we ate there every day. Breakfast also had a good selection of different options.

The only minus of the hotel is the location in the stonetown, in the first days we got lost many times, but at the end of the holiday we found our way through different alleys to the hotel without any problems. On the other hand, it was nice when everything you needed was nearby, but if you don't like getting lost, stonetown is not the right choice.
