Dont book this place. You would be better off elsewhere!

Great location in Stone town and the rooms have a very unique character

The service is atrocious and management is a joke

So old and run down but great staff! Owner should upgrade and update

Great staff! Great location at the heart of the old town

It must have been a magnificent place 20-30 years ago but it is in desperate need of a major upgrade.

Magical and authentic interiors in the heart of of Stone Village. You feel transported. The staff was warm , genuine and helpful.

Perhaps breakfast could have a bit more variety.

Fabulous hotel! Staff could not do enough to help you! Beautiful rooms, great breakfast, rooftop dinner and entertainment is great value for money as is the sister hotel restaurant secret garden. I would recommend everyone to stay here provided they can climb the stairs! Bags of character and brilliant location.

That I had to leave!!

Bad

Not satisfied.. nice location and bad breakfast .. small beds

Location is perfect near the beach and Fordhani

- Breakfast was awful .. no options available and its a set menu which is eggs, fruits, some bread and little honey and avocado juice.. very disappointing. Also, the rooms were built in a way that doesnt have a safety .. I slipped in a small step that I didnt see because of the darkness of the room and the color of the step was the same color of the floor so I didnt see it. I broke my foot. The dinner in the roof top was not enough for 2 people despite the high price and doesnt contain drinks. The steps are a lot and big ones which makes the place not safe at all. Staff are nice though
