Everything was great except I did not receive the food and beverage credit that was promised with my ******* reservation.

16.11.2025 Catherine

The room was beautiful and very clean. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was wonderful. And a great location for walking around Stone Town which was very safe. In all an excellent stay.

18.10.2025 Guest

Good location, convenient to go out, and there are many Chinese restaurants nearby.

This is a lovely hotel in a historic building. It’s walking distance to all the sights of Stonetown. Our room was clean and comfortable. The balcony looked out to the Indian Ocean. Staff were very helpful and friendly, particularly the receptionist who helped us with booking our transfer to the airport at the end of our stay.

Great Stay
Wonderful hotel on the beach in Stone Town. Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet. Nice views and pool.

15.08.2025 Richard

The bed was perfect and our room had a nice view of the pool and ocean. The staff, Rabia, Yunus, and Yussuf Big to name only a few were great. A perfect place to stay for 4 days before our safari.

01.08.2025 Esther

Was suppose to get a bottle of wine- did not get. Had to schlep an ok. Bottle of wine back to the us. Almost not worth it. Also 10 dollar credit was not honored u til u brought t it up. I get asked to hire their colleagues for tour guide (which was fine, but I felt like a source of commodity). It did t make me feel very good. Also did t feel so good getting feeling somewhat whenever I was buying wine when I was by myself in

The hotel is quite old, but it's right by the sea. The room is a bit small, not even 28 square meters. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The location is good, but the hotel facilities are average.

09.01.2025 Guest

The receptionist is so rude and unkind.
By one day, she changed the check-out time.
She doesn't have any apologies for that.

12.12.2024 Yon-iii

Room, Balcony, View from the room and Restaurant is really nice. But only one thing they need to improve in their reception customer service.

Room I signed when I check in and Room I really received was different. They changed the room without notice. I asked why they said it's same room inside. But it was totally different. Changed room has no privacy at all. We have to close the window during the stay.

And I asked for late check out when I check in. They told me to check last day in the morning. In last day, I asked again for 2hrs late check out. They refused my request even didn't check the system. Just say NO. I am very disappointed with their attitude. And when I checked the site there were plenty room left.

As everyone knows Zanzibar is the holiday place. Most of 5 star hotels in holiday place, they run check out time very flexible due to flight time. No deserve to have 5 stars in customer service.
