    spacious room
    rooftop pool
    street noise

    I really enjoyed my stay here, especially the spacious room and the large balcony that provided a perfect spot to relax. The rooftop pool was great for unwinding after a long day, and I also appreciated the lounge area for some entertainment. One small downside was the street noise, but it didn’t spoil my overall experience. 😊

    The setting was quite good within easy reach of a National museum. The hotel was in a beautiful area, very close to main attractions, mainly the food bazaar and restaurants and the famous Forodhani park.

    good stay , but room for improvement

    The location of the hotel is excellent, providing easy access to local attractions. I appreciated the spacious room, which allowed my family to feel comfortable during our short stay. The city view from our balcony was lovely.

    wifi issues
    pool area

    Wifi is consistently unreliable, resulting in frequent disconnections!!! The pool area lacks sufficient sunbeds and shade, leaving little room to relax comfortably on sunny days!!! Old and rough sheets detract from the overall stay!!!

    clean room
    great air conditioning
    nice rooftop area
    old furniture
    lack of maintenance

    The Standard Twin Room was clean and comfy with good air conditioning, which I really appreciated during the hot days. The rooftop area is a real highlight. It has a nice view and a pool for some chill time. Room service was great, and the super nice team. I wish the furniture was a bit newer and more maintenance had been done on the amenities.

    unbeatable location
    spacious balcony

    The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the old fort and local nightlife. My room had a spacious balcony that offered a lovely view, and the rooftop pool provided a refreshing escape with nice vistas of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean. Plus, the breakfast was a delicious mix of local and international fare that kept me fueled for my sightseeing adventures!
