The room (especially the sheets) were clean, the building was amazing (make sure to check out the view from the roof), we enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff were great (and available 24/7). A great place to stay in Stone Town. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Warm and friendly and very helpful staff ##### Karl Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tricia 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent spot for a solo female traveler Hotel is magical!!

Beautiful hotel in colonial style. Renovation took place when we stayed there, and that caused noise and dirt/dust. We would stay there again if we came to Stone Town. ##### Lisbeth Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer 20 Sept 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Interesting architecture and very spacious room with sitting area.

Bathroom in general needs an upgrade. Other than that did not find any other issue, location is the best right in the heart of town. ##### Cristobal Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Yakup 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not Recommended The hotel is located on the historical and central part of Zanzibar called Stone Town, so the location is great, nothing to complain. The hotel arranged a taxi pick-up for the airport but the driver was not there, the driver was there but holding another name: Mary Lee. The taxi was very dirty and the driver not very hygenic. We arrived to the hotel with smiling reception but full of unprofessionalism. Me and my brother had booked 2 x Presidential Suites, but even though they had our details they were sloppy and asked unrelevant questions. We got to the rooms, on the 3rd floor next to each other and they were huge and maintained pretty well. As we were very tired we slept directly for 2h and after that wanted to have a shower to refresh up. But the water was not running. Tried to call the reception but either it was busy or no one picked up the phone. Went down in a rush, they said it will come back in 15-20min. It didn't, just imagine you are in a hotel for 12h paying decent amount of money but the water is not running! It was fixed after 2-3h. Another huge issue was internet. It worked well in the lobby but no reception in the rooms! Totally unacceptable in year 2024\. We left the hotel around 02:00 AM with another taxi driver the hotel had arranged but this time when he started the car, on the android screen of the taxi an adult movie started to play. He quickly changed it to a muslim prayer. To sum up; historical nice building, But I had expected much more... ##### Yakup Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was lovely to be in such a beautiful Historic building.
