In short. Generally clean as mentioned; however, some concerns about noise from the street and the safety of access.

Stay overall enjoyable. Ocean front relaxation with the vibrant hustle and bustle of the town just a Stone throw away.+ The location was great. The beachfront area had a very relaxing atmosphere.Breakfast was good. The Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a geyser issue that did take some time to fix …’Pole Pole’− Was a bit disappointed as it was advertised as balcony with sea view….very small balcony with side view. Stairs to second floor was challenging. No escalator.

First class service, classy luxury, in historic building with perfect location.+ A beautiful hotel in which everything is made easy. First class service from attentive staff. The best possible location. Arrange good value transfers with no hassle. Beautiful pools. Delicious food and good value. I cannot imagine returning to Zanzibar...− Service in the restaurant during the day (not mealtimes) was not fast. I wish the pool opened before 8am and stayed open later (but no one made me feel uncomfortable about having got times wrong).

Good hotel to stay for one or two nights to explore Stone Town+ Location was good, right in the center of Stone Town with shops and other attractions nearby. It was next to the beach which made it nice to sit and have breakfast with a nice view. The pools were pretty cool too, and you could also see the sunset from...− While the room was good, it could be a bit noisy during the day because it’s in the ground floor and next to the beach, there’s also a bar next to it and the bathroom has a window right into it...
