Very delapidated rooms! We had NO water pressure - I could not wash my hair! Mouldy, dirty, bedside lamp not working, no seaview as advertized or balcony as advertized even though we paid for such! Food was not bad but I would not recommend hotel! Staff very frriendlt

The location and view are great but the hotel is in desperate need of repairs, it is dirty and the breakfast is very poor

In the first room that they put me in, the window could not close and there was no lock on it. Also, the air conditioner did not work with the temperature in the high twenties/loe thirties. On the second day, the moved me to a room where the shower did not work and the toilet seat was not bolted to the toilet. All in all, i would say it was backpacker accommodation at Holiday Inn prices. I have been traveling in Tanzania for 15 years, and have stayed in $5 and $10 rural hotels, so i am not a complainer, but this is probably the worst value for money that i have encounyered.

We had lunch here, but didn't stay at the hotel. Good food at a reasonable price, but the best part was the view. The restaurant is on the first floor, with views over the sea. We had pizza which was huge. I can eat, but this beat me and I ended up taking a few slices away in a box to have an hour or so later. To get to the restaurant, you'll have to walk through the hotel and ascend stairs. Keep you eyes open for the history of the building. The staff were attentive friendly and professional. Recommended.

Came here with a tour guide for lunch. As a result I wasn't expecting much. The view is incredible! Staff were attentive. The tour group chose a variety of dishes, steak, tandoori chicken, huge king prawns, pizza. I didn't have a huge appetite so went for a fresh fruit salad with vanilla ice cream. Food arrived when it was ready rather than all at once. Everyone was impressed and it wasn't expensive.

Great place for dinner on a rooftop. Really enjoyed the food, service and views while in Stonetown. Would stay there in the future. Prices and good variety were a welcome change and I thought the staff was very attentive. Hotel seemed to have an interesting history.

I stayed here for a few nights with my wife. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is in an amazing location and the building itself has a very interesting history. We did not eat at the hotel, other than breakfast and we were the only people there so they made it fresh each morning. The rooms were tired and in need of renovation. However, there was building works going on in the building which I would hope are going to extend to a revamping of the rooms and bathrooms.

We visit the restaurant for lunch and some drinks and didn't stay in the hotel itself. The view is amazing and the restaurant is clean and with a nice bar and some small tabels with cosy chairs. But the prices are higher and the food is not really good.

Great location overlooking the sea. Called in earlier to make a reservation and even got to pick my table! Very friendly, helpful staff. The menu was extensive and we really enjoyed both the food and the whole experience!
