This property is right by the ferry making it the most convenient choice one could make. The rooftop terrace offers great sunset views and the restaurant on the terrace serves tasty Indian cuisine that is top notch. The lobby has a fountain that id want in my own home. I love the paintings on each floor the pool area is filled with greenery and has lots of space. Id highly reccomend this property to anyone visting Zanzibar

Quick stay in central Stone Town

Great location for central Stone Town, helpful & friendly staff, very clean. Issues: high AC noise & problem with using the remote control to get temp settings right; TV set to subscription channels as default - no obvious free channels; no water in room on arrival, breakfast buffet not close to being laid out at 07:30 open; no bar

Pour un sejour limité à Stone town

Hotel assez vieillot bien situé proche su port, du centre ville et du vieux port. Personnel agreable et souriant. Chambre sommaire avec une literie vieillissante et grincante. Comme les fenêtres ne ferment pas on entend les bruits environnants. Reveil en sursaut par la sirène du port. Acceptable pour une nuit ou deux avant d'aller vers le Nord de l île.
