The staff were absolutely amazing, the location was beautiful. Hotel was very nice old with en suite rooms. The beach was good. Moreover, the venue was just a short walk away from a National museum. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing pool. Lovely garden outside.

Characterful base for 4 nights. The triple room overlooked the city. Moreover, it had free Wi Fi throughout the property. Stone Town district is a good choice and absolutely worth visiting.

Helpful staff, favourable location. We loved the fact that we chose dhow palace. Zafarani, which can be found only 300 m away, was a fast dining option. The rooms in the hotel were huge.

No negatives from this place.

The hotel was situated a few steps away from every place we wanted to explore, like house of wonders. If you want to eat nearby, try Stone Town Cafe, which is situated 200 m away. It is so close to the airport: D
