Loved it ##### Keisha Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ildiko 8 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and clean hotel. Loved the terrace restaurant. The food was good and breakfast had lots of choices. It was easy to find our way to the melacon. There is a ATM close by which is convenient. You could make arrangements for trips right in the hotel. We didn't use it, bit there is a very nice pool at the hotel. They were eager to please us in every way. Nice stay. ##### Ildiko Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 29 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location in Stone Town. Very nice room. The dining was reasonably good, although at times just a bit slow. The staffing and service at the lobby coffee bar was very poor, with apparent staff disinterest -- this is the only aspect of this hotel which could use some more attention, Otherwise, highly recommended. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Raju 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Repairs going at the adjustable property and no information about that.also no hot water due to some problems what give property 2 stars ##### Raju Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Barbara 15 Jan 2024 Disliked: Amenities Property location is nice. Very old and smells of mildew. The pool is the size a jacuzzi, no seats around the baby splash pool. I had no hot water and the tv did not a connect. The free internet is null and void. Connectivity to the internet was poor for both new gets that I stay at Spice Palace. Heed this warning and stay elsewhere. The breakfast served each morning was horribly! ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kenton 7 Feb 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Tired and misleading The hotel is very tired. The rooms were very tired, the mosquito nets were grey with neglect and had holes in them, defeating their purpose. The shower in the bathroom had cracked tiles and wholes in the door. You also needed to be a contortionist to sit on the toilet, and all this was in what is described as a superior suite. They claim to have happy hour on beer and cocktails between 4 and 7 every day (advertised in the bar) but when you try to take advantage of this they use all sorts of excuses to give you any form of happy hour discount. When I tried to raise this with the management they didn’t even have the decency to respond to my email. Either they need to remove the happy hour sign and references to happy hour or honour it. The food was average at best. Do not use their airport shuttle as the charge double the going rate and do not get you as close to the hotel as they possibly could do. This is all a great shame as the hotel does have great potential due to location. All it requires is some freshening up. ##### Kenton Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stella 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The people who worked there were very nice, helpful, and personable. ##### stella Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Old Windsor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Windsor-Windsor-Hotels.0-n6056735-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [NH Collection Milano City Life](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milan-Hotels-NH-Collection-City-Life.h72271394.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Southampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d3245-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels.0-n178498-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Ashton-under-Lyne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d6004285-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rigi Kaltbad Swiss Quality Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weggis-Hotels-Rigi-Kaltbad-Swiss-Quality-Hotel.h2001376.Hotel-Information) > > [Enjoy Stunning Sea Views From A Detached Contemporary Coastal Holiday Home](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woolacombe-Hotels-Enjoy-Stunning-Sea-Views-From-A-Detached-Contemporary-Coastal-Holiday-Home.h18769218.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Long-Beach-Lodge-Resort.h1892359.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Isle of Cumbrae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Cumbrae-Hotels.d6341973.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ikoyi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ikoyi-Lagos-Hotels.0-n6354407-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Highgrove House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Highgrove-House-Hotels.0-l6159019-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kirkcudbright](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcudbright-Hotels.d182792.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mövenpick Resort Lamantin Saly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mbour-Hotels-Lamantin-Beach-Hotel.h1695660.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Jet2 Edinburgh (EDI) to Liznjan (PUY) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-edinburgh-to-pula/ls/edi/puy) > > [Flights from Exeter (EXT) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ext/tfs/exeter-to-tenerife) > > [Flights from Singapore (SIN) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sin/dps/singapore-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Pathio (CJM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/cjm/bangkok-to-chumphon) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/del/london-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Lucciana (BIA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/bia/birmingham-to-bastia) ### Cars > [Avis Car Rentals In Lido Di Jesolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avis-Car-Rentals-In-Lido-Di-Jesolo.d553248634855574991-c41.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Pefkos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Pefkos.d6138863.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Orebic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Orebic.d6069826.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Beauly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Beauly.d182739.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Massabielle Grotto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Massabielle-Grotto-Lourdes.d6110536.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Fuengirola City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuengirola-Fuengirola-City-Centre.dx553248633937777995) > > [Visit Mozambique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mozambique.dx123) > > [Visit Cornholme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cornholme.dx3000714199) > > [Visit Laurel Canyon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Laurel-Canyon.dx553248635976475747) > > [Visit Prague City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Prague-City-Center.dx6278809)
