The staff was very friendly (especially the cleaning staff and Faridah in particular), and the pools were beautiful. The location is great - close to all areas of Stone Town and on the beach. The complimentary breakfast was great (lots of options). Overall, would recommend this hotel. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luiz Eduardo 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A arrived 9h30 and didn’t have to wait till 15 o’clock to go to my room.

The room was clean and bright and had everything we needed. What made our stay enjoyable was the staff... friendly, helpful and always with a smile on their face. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, had something for everyone - you certainly didn't leave hungry. Would definitely recommend this property for your visit to Stone Town. ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rommel 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well maintained hotel with easy access to the main road. The hotel is in front of the boat launch for the Prison Island and Nakupenda sandbar tours. It is about 3minute walk to Freddie Mercury museum and Forodhani Garden. The room is spacious with unique old world Arabic feel. The breakfast is with good variety. Definitely a good place to stay. Highly recommended. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/734e5bee-ba56-4bf1-99c4-c21c92330c45-1759146869606.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/661a3c66-8278-400a-8b44-44aeb0eba04c-1759146869818.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Mosquito net ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b70ad4bf-528b-4d4f-bb75-30cff04904f0-1759146869745.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f53f66ea-1bad-4844-8a3d-2145dddd8d32-1759146869718.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rommel Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Goda 11 Dec 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities First off, they didn't pull up a 2nd reservation I had on my name and made us book another room. Later that night they call me asking where are the guests for the 2nd room! I ended up paying for the reservation they didn't pull up in the first place and on top of it, we had to book another room. And they didn't even REFUND any part for the mistake they did. No one helped us here, neither the Expedia nor this property. Beware of such SCAMS when you are staying in Zanzibar. ##### Goda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice pool.

Fantastic location - amazing view and easy access to explore Stone Town. The pools were lovely! Food was good. The only small downside was that one of the sellers from outside twice approach us in the hotel trying to sell us a painting - once just outside our room. ##### Katherine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 1 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place in Zanzibar Fantastic service.

The service was beyond impeccable. I would highly recommend this hotel. And I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in my lifetime. It is extremely close to anything that you want to do in Stone Town. The staff were so accommodating and so friendly. I wish I could think of more positive things to say about this place. The view is stunning. And there are loads of places to sit and relax. The swimming pool is amazing. I could just go on and on. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Amenities Great location, nice rooms, friendly staff ##### Robert Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 5 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay. ##### Thomas Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Ambleside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels.d4270.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Glebe Farm Holiday Barns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Glebe-Farm-Holiday-Barns.h20201070.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bucharest-Hotels-The-Marmorosch-Bucharest.h66252431.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool near Lake Como](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Como-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d6024900-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Oasis Park Splash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calella-Hotels-Hotel-Oasis-Park-Splash.h1486921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Stowmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stowmarket-Hotels.d602157.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B New Milton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4406-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near St. Fagans National Museum of History](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Fagans-National-Museum-Of-History-Hotels.0-l6222364-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Osaka-Hotels-Candeo-Hotels-Osaka-Namba.h17556477.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dalkeith](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalkeith-Hotels.d179549.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [White Olive Elite Rethymno - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-White-Olive-Elite-Rethymno.h45863990.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterpark in Tunisia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Tunisia-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d182-twaterparkhotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [ILUNION Miramar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuengirola-Hotels-Aparthotel-Myramar-Fuengirola.h1430274.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Golfo Aranci](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golfo-Aranci-Hotels.d182133.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Eels Foot Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leiston-Hotels-Eels-Foot-Inn.h4055308.Hotel-Information) > > [Damson Dene Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendal-Hotels-Damson-Dene-Hotel.h1595721.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Egypt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egypt-Villas.d52-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hôtel Eiffel Petit Louvre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Eiffel-Petit-Louvre.h16363263.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Malgrat de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrat-De-Mar-Hotels.d6034179.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Staffordshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Staffordshire-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6046231-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Grand Hotel Gardone Riviera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gardone-Riviera-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Gardone-Riviera.h15589.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Newark (EWR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ewr/london-to-newark-liberty-intl-airport) ### Activities ### Packages ### General ---
