This is a beautiful hotel. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. Air conditioning plus a ceiling fan makes the room comfortable for sleeping. My room had a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. The internal courtyard makes the hotel very quiet. The rooftop is lovely for breakfast and dinner or the Secret Garden within the hotel compound is also lovely for a meal. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the seafront.

My room was a work of art with unique furnishings and exquisite detail

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better welcome. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, we arrived very early in the morning and were pleasantly surprised when they offered us breakfast and allowed us to check in early.

The property itself is stunning: a beautiful historical building that has been thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. Our room was spacious, elegant, and very comfortable.

The location is also great, in a pretty and vibrant street and just a few minutes away from the night market and the sights.

Highly recommended!

It is one of the best hotel I've ever stayed. Excellent room, staff, services. The hotel and the rooms are in traditional Zanzibar architecture style, which gave me great experience. Staff is considerate and detail oriented. The dinner at the rooftop is wonderful.
One minor downside is the shower had low water pressure due to my room was in the top floor. Sometimes I had to wait for 1-2 minutes until the water came, which was not good when taking shower. The staff said there will be a major work to add a pump. Hope it will be better after it's done.

Amazing stay. From the warm welcome and services. Truly enjoyed the food in the Secret Garden and rooftop.

Really nice historic hotel
My sister and I stayed here for a few nights when arriving in Zanzibar.
Our flight plans got brought forward and the hotel was great in bringing forward our airport pick up. A staff member met us in the traffic area and carried our bags to the hotel, making sure we were following too. It really was nice to be in the heart of Stone Town.
We stayed in Mimi which is one of the top rooms, so lots of stairs to get there.
Room was huge, light and airy. We had a problem with hot water for the shower but once we notified the staff it was quick to be resolved. Beds were comfortable. Turn down service was a lovely touch.
Breakfast was wonderful and served at the roof top restaurant, which has a nice view over Stone Town. Also a great spot for sundowner drinks. We didn't try the set menu dinner there.
We ate dinner at the onsite restaurant which was nice.
They had a beach bag with towels which came in handy.
We also liked the group tipping rather than needing to constantly tip.

We'll return here if back in Zanzibar and recommend to others.

One of the best hotels in Stone Town, they assisted me in many things including getting a sim card which saved me a lot of money had I bought it at the airport.
