"The property is very centrally located from the beach/ stone town and the new city. Nothing was more than a 20 minute walk. The roof top bar/ restaurant was a nice perk especially during Ramadan when many places are closed for the fast. It is an older property, so the rooms aren't very modern as the showers/ bathrooms could benefit from an upgrade. Staff are very accommodating and friendly. "
