Emerson Spice Hotel

Emerson Spice Hotel
3.5 star property
5.3 km from Prison Island
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (116 reviews)
"Stunning Hotel in the heart of Stone Town. So much character and charm! Sitting on the balcony watching the streets below was an absolute treat - as was the rooftop restaurant. We tried the seafood tasting menu which included some real gems along with some unfamiliar taste combinations. The call for prayer at the nearby mosque was quite loud - at 5.10 in the morning - but we quickly fell asleep again in the nice 4-poster bed. "

Overall a really nice option for a few days in Stonetown. "
