Exceptionally good views, we did not want to leave there.
The room was spacious, immaculate and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The location was marvellous and unbeatable, very close to a ferry port. Had a truly memorable stay of Zanzibar town and would want to stay there again.

Stayed here for 3 days, thoroughly enjoyed the hotel, it was fairly clean with great location by the ferry. Location: the property was so close to historical Stone Town, the beach and the promenade, and especially the night market. There was a gourmet restaurant nearby. The staff was charming and lovely, nothing too much trouble. The breakfast was satisfactory and the food was appetising.

The room I stayed in, Sultana, was fine with a lovely balcony and a spacious bathtub! The staff made every effort to be helpful. I particularly enjoyed the delicious passion and avocado juice, refreshing after a day of exploring. The city view from the balcony offered a good ambiance.
