The location was absolutely perfect, you can visit Forodhani Gardens by walking. There were TV set, tea/coffee making equipment, and a writing desk in the room, truly enjoyed that.
Everything great.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the tasteful decor and inviting entrance. The staff were friendly and always went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. One particular highlight was the shuttle service they arranged for me from the airport, making my arrival seamless. The room itself was clean and well-maintained, with the added bonus of a fridge to keep cool in the hot Stone Town weather. But what truly stood out was the attention to detail - every evening, someone would come and prepare the bed, drawing the curtains and mosquito nets, creating a cozy and peaceful sleep environment. Salum and Hijja, in particular, made me feel incredibly welcome and remembered my name, greeting me with genuine enthusiasm. Their helpfulness extended even beyond my stay, as they assisted me in adjusting my trip plans. I am already looking forward to returning to this wonderful hotel again.

This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of Stone Town, close to all the major sights. The value for money is exceptional, especially considering its central location. The staff are friendly and helpful, providing great service and helpful itinerary suggestions. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, with good air conditioning and even a bathrobe provided. The highlight is definitely the breakfast on the rooftop, offering stunning views of the city.
All in all, our stay at this hotel was more than satisfactory.

It was a very lovely experience in a lovely small hotel. The location was particularly good and fantastic, close to Shangani Beach. Moreover, it was near to Al Johari for 2 nights as well as the shops & night market.

The hotel is well-located and easily accessible via public transportation. The breakfast buffet selection is decent and fills you up for the day ahead. A plus point is the friendly housekeeping staff who greets you every day with a smile and ensures your room is well-maintained.
The hotel itself is extremely outdated with broken furniture, peeling paint, and outdated facilities. The lack of refurbishment reflects in the worn-out linens and musty smell in the rooms.

Got two complimentary drinks and free Wi-Fi. Location was great, close to everything we wanted to see. The bed was comfortable.
Room wasn't clean, stained sheets and dirty towels. Bathroom was very small and the shower had no hot water.

I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail throughout my stay, from the well-maintained rooms to the basic amenities provided. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and always there to assist with any queries or requests. The location of the hotel is truly unbeatable, as it is conveniently situated close to the sea, in the alleys, and even near the beach. Additionally, the rooms were comfortable and equipped with powerful hot showers and efficient air conditioning, ensuring a pleasant and relaxing stay. Breakfast was a highlight, with a delicious spread served on the rooftop, offering a stunning view that added to the overall experience.
My experience at this hotel was enjoyable and hassle-free.
