Hotel is situated right in the heart of stone town, close to everything. Felt very safe. The hotel had a boutiquey feel to it. Rooms were lovely, space to hang out and unwind was nice. Good food options if you don’t want to go out
Maya, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room and rooftop were lovely, service was excellent, and the food was very good. The noise of children playing in the alley below went on til quite late, and the shower water never got very hot. Otherwise, a cool spot in the heart of Stone Town.
Sara, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Vilken mysig oas mitt i Stone Town. Liten mysig pool i skuggan o en fin takterrass för frukost, middag eller en drink i solnedgången. Ca 15 minuter från färjan vi tog från Dar es salam. Kan varmt rekommendera detta hotell!

Very nice hotel with really nice staff and great location. No TV but if you can watch TV via wifi on your phone it is not an issue.
Natalie, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, clean hotel directly in the middle of Stonetown. Great breakfast and views from the rooftop. Only issue were the roaches in the room that I noticed late at night when I woke up to go to the restroom.
Krystle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean hotel in a nice location. The pool and the restaurant are great. On the downside - it is hard to find when arriving by car as there is no indication where the hotel is from the street and have to walk a narrow alley from the street to the hotel entrance. Some clear signage visible from the street would greatly help.
Ivaylo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good relaxing stay.

Location close to many things. Location is off the regular streets. Roof top restaurant was nice and view was great. Some simple wire to keep the crows away would be nice! Room does need TVs but didn’t miss it. Wi-Fi signal needs improvement. Spa treatment was nice but location is an issue with echo and noise.
Vince, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the botanical atmosphere of this hotel. I had a massive double room on the ground floor surrounded by plants which made it magical!! Pool area was relaxing. My favourite was the rooftop restaurant which had beautiful views of the seafront. I would definitely come back here. The location was very central to exploring Stone Town.

Very Close to Forodhani gardens and all other places are walkable Distance from this property.you can see the beautiful Sea View From the Top of the Hotel (restaurant) . room amenities are Average .if you don't spend much time in room that s OK.
Sridhar, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The building and location are great. The view and sunset are amazing. The service, comfort and bathroom installations are not as good. In our first night there was a water pump going off and making noise every hour or so, making our sleep less than great. When showering, water would go up to our ankles almost, as the plug hole didn’t provide enough throughput. I asked for both things to be fixed and in the evening no one knew if they had been fixed or not. After some insistence and phone calls we heard the everything was fixed. Later, we found that only the pump was fixed.
Nazareno, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the ambiance of the property. I loved my room, although I thought I had booked a room with a balcony. My room was great and I loved the AC. After wandering around the streets of Stonetown, the AC was refreshing. The rooftop dining area and views were great. The staff were helpful and friendly. Good location.
