Very clean room, a lovely relax ambiance throughout the whole hotel. Friendly staff, very helpful and very pretty refreshing pool.
We had the feeling the matrass had had its best time :), food was ok but we did not had impression it was freshly made.

Beautiful building, with a beautiful spacious roof top where one can relax with the cooling breeze and very.
Internet could have been stronger round the whole building. The staff tried their best at all times to accommodate with any short comings but one seemed like an inconvenience by the main person sitting at the reception desk. Rooms don’t have a lot in them so be warned.

Beautiful hotel, staff very friendly and good check in with welcome drink. Appreciated being told the history of the building. Room was cosy but expected in a period property. Loved the pretty turmeric bathtub and bath products in the room smell amazing! Close to night markets and 2 mins away from the ferry port. Ahsante!
We were told there would be a taxi booked to the airport for our early flight, there was no taxi ready for us and after 10 minutes of phone calls the man on the front desk led us out onto the street where he grabbed a random taxi for us. Also we weren't made aware on check in or check out that we had the rest of our balance to pay, were made aware once we had left via WhatsApp and some failed attempts at emailing the payment link.

Great value and well located in the historic center of Stone Town. Beautifully decorated rooms. Historic building- Princess Kholle’s residence in the mid 19th Century.
