This hotel was just as we expected. After staying 10 nights on the east coast of Zanzibar we decided to stay one night in Stone Town before going back home. The hotel itself was very special with nice old furniture and decorations all over. The staff was very professional and helped us in everything we needed. The check-out was already at 10.00 AM and our plane was departing 23.35 that evening so we had a long day to wait. Fortunately the hotel provide us a luggage room for free and then we could also use one of the rooms in the afternoon to get a quick shower before travelling. Brilliant. The hotel has two swimming pools which were ok, of course the water is very warm so not much refreshing. The food and service at the restaurant was very good. We ate there two times and nothing to complain. The breakfast was also very good - wide selection of fresh fruit, bread, small snacks and also an omelette made to order. So basically nothing to complain about. we would go again.

Everything. This place was BEAUTIFUL. The decor and feel was amazing, check in and out was easy, good wifi, little balcony, amazing bathroom with good water pressure. I really appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities and the fact that they used refillable products in the bathroom and offered a filtered water to fill jugs/bottles, rather than more plastic. Breakfast was also excellent, as were the staff. The only disappointing thing was that we weren't staying longer.

Great clean, comfortable apartments across from the Tembo hotel; we liked being independent but with the use of the hotel facilities. Super location with friendly, helpful staff. Arranged a walking tour of Stonetown (the guide was called Chief - he was brilliant!) and a spice farm visit via reception - they were both excellent; really good value and both with a private guide.

The location and architecture is fantastic, few other places in town match it, if at all. The deep pool was a surprise, not expected from a city centre location. The room is stylish and there will s a very quiet Aircon in operation.
