Not long term. The breakfast didn’t have many options. The staff were really nice and very helpful. Room service was ok the best thing we had was the chicken wings. They also offered late check out for an extra cost which was great because we had a late flight. ##### Chelsee Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The customer service of the staff in restaurant and front desk is outstanding.

Area around the hotel is not super walkable BUT it is not far from Stone Town (20 minute taxi ride - US$10 to US$20). View from top floor restaurant is amazing and the food is pretty good. I would recommend highly. i would stay here again. ##### Inayat Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn 10 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were friendly and very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Evelyn Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 20 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice staff, clean rooms, and nice pool area.

Hotel shop had expired products (should really review the stock) bought a pepsi that was expired 6 months ago. The pool area was nice, but the water in the pool felt dirty, even though just being cleaned. Would also be transparant to mention that the hotel is just NeXT to a mosque, that kept us awake all night due to non stop activity. ##### Jimmy Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah 6 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The only issue we had was getting picked up from the airport however it not working smoothly for myself and husband the pick up of my daughter went absolutely smoothly.
