The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect for someone who wants to walk around Stone Town and it’s near the ferry terminal as well. The breakfast included is basic but good (eggs, toast, fruit, fresh juices). The glass bottle of water in the rooms was a nice touch as well as the tiny individual bars of soap that smell like cloves.

Very nice and accommodating. Brought me cold and hot water (make own tea or coffee, plentiful tea bags and a glass full of ground coffee to choose from) as I was shown my room. Very firm mattress, which to me is a good thing. Excellent shared (like among the three rooms on the floor) bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink; everything worked perfectly or as expected. The WiFi was solid too. Breakfast is on the roof (don’t worry, there’s lots of shade up there) and it was great. My room also had a balcony. There was both a ceiling fan and an AC unit in the room. Everything was excellent.

The property was so clean and spacious. The staff are beyond helpful and happy. We actually booked a tour through them and they organised towels and some fruit for us. The breakfast was quick and the coffee was exceptional (best in Zanzibar yet) on the rooftop. The hotel is amongst the hustle and bustle however they offered free parking that was really great. For value for money this hotel is great, and the owner was amazing in suggesting places to go/eat and see.

Nothing the property ticked every box we needed. The bathroom wasn’t attached to our room but it was still private and the water pressure was good with constant hot water, great!

Hugely convenient location for the ferry and easy to walk to any part of town in 10/15 minutes. Room was big and comfortable with room to spread out. The staff were all attentive and smiling even through some evident context based language issues.

It is on the route directly off and on to the ferry so can have very noisy traffic outside.

One of the best hotels we've stayed at. The location is good, and the rooms are breathtaking. The hotel owners warmly welcomed us with a welcome drink and took the time to give us detailed travel tips and insights about Stone Town. Additionally, the breakfast was fantastic, further enhancing our experience. I highly recommend this accommodation!

Very spacious and beautifully decorated with locally made items. Good breakfast on the rooftop. Helpful staff. On the main road (ie. not pedestrianised road) which was useful for taxi drop off/pick up.

Very nice room with attention to detail and support for local businesses. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast on the rooftop.

Located along a busy street, it can get a little bit noisy in the early morning

the staff was very nice, and always ready to help you with organising tours or transport. Rooms and bathroom are clean. Good breakfast

The hotel is located at a very busy road, which makes it quite noisy. The balcony isn’t a private balcony, there were no sitting options and it wasn’t easy to access from the room.

Nothing, everything was great
