The staff was courteous, always friendly and helpful. The Location is perfect to discover stonetown, It is located directly in the center, short walking distance to almost every tourist attraction, but the room itself was quiet and dark and we could sleep very well. The rooftop where we had breakfast has a wonderful view, the breakfast by the way was amazing.

the doors and entrances are authentic zanzibari but very low and small, so you have to pay a lot of attention not to bang your head if you are a tall person. The cleanliness of the bathroom could be improved, also the fittings in the bathroom were very old and sometimes broken.

This is the best hotel I experienced in Zanzibar (I’m here for 1+ year and traveled the whole island) and maybe even in the world! The vibes are immaculate, the rooms and property are at the highest standards of quality and modernity while still keeping the historic aesthetic.. we loved our Executive Suite- for our anniversary they offered an extra special room! The building is an almost 200 years old house and the location is in the middle of stone town- you have access to anything you need 24/7 (coffee shops, souvenir shops, forodhani food market at night.. ) The room has the best bed, the bathtub in the bedroom is amazing, the hot water and pressure are dreamy! They make sure that all details are in place: thick towels, toiletries and coffee, light canceling windows. Staff is very nice and accommodating, breakfast was tasty and it’s the most welcoming environment!

The only little problem we had in the building was noise- if you are a light sleeper you might have issues with the street noise until 1-2am and breakfast noise from 7am We are deep sleeper though and we slept like babies in the amazing hotel!

In the middle of Stone Town. Very big room with nice deco. Really charming and interesting deco in the whole building, with nice old photographs and sculptures. Good breakfast on the roof top.

The shower was a bit outdated with leaking shower head and not enough warm water. But that was a minor thing compared to everything else that was good.

Amazing location, good vibes and the place interior design was a wonder to observe and take in. The gardens were well kept and each space is filled with history to tell. If you're in Stone Town I really recommend a stay.

From my view the room was amazing and well designed but it lacked a bit of privacy in the restroom and shower area.

great location in the old town beautiful old building beautiful room junior suite

-shower had no pressure, they said they would repair it after our visit but looked like it was a longer existing problem. it was possible to shower in the bath but water splashes everywhere - no view from the room - it has no spa but is advertised as a spa hotel - with a little bit of attention it cloud be great

It was like living in a museum. The hotel is decorated so wonderful with antik things, you feel like in the old times. Very nice! The location also was great, right in the middle of Stone Town, close the the sea and walking - distance to the port. Breakfast was on the roof terrace, with nice view to the sea.

It was a bit noisy

It’s a fabulous and fascinating old building with the charms of India. Very friendly and helpful staff.

It could use a renovation at the level of basic facilities such as showers, handles etc.

Breakfast location overlooking the town was lovely and the staff were keen to please and accommodate our needs. The rooms were quite ornate but we liked the cultural difference it offered.

Lighting in the rooms was a little dim.

Traditional architecture and lovely paintings, photographs and artefacts which add to the ambience. Rooftop breakfast has amazing views. Staff really helpful and friendly. Perfect location inside Stonetown,

Nothing to dislike

Beautiful and authentic little gem located perfectly in walking distance to everything to see in Stone Town. Very friendly and welcoming people in both reception and at the upstairs breakfast restaurant. Would gladly come back. We stayed in the Livingstone room and it was beautifully decorated as well.

Everything was great.
