Beautifully renovated hotel in the heart of Stone Town. We enjoyed learning about the building’s past through the hotel’s thoughtful decorative touches. The room was spacious and clean. Fantastic location and delightful staff. Was only there for one night but will have to try dinner on the rooftop terrace next time ✨

Such a beautiful environment and very friendly staff that took care of my daughter and I. Highly recommended for anyone coming alone, with family , with kids. The staff is very accommodating and they even made sure we ate after getting to the hotel late.

From check in to checkout the staff were very friendly and helpful. We arrived early and managed to check us in our room early. We also had to checkout early morning so they provided a takeaway breakfast box! The front desk lady and the hotel manager were very accommodating and great to chat with. The hotel is only 2-3 minutes from the beach, shops and famous park with its night street food. A great deal for a stay in stone town.
