We were there for 2 nights and felt we would come here again. Nicely decorated and great looking hotel managed by attentive people. The location was excellent, not too far from a National museum.

Everything was perfect in this stylish and special hotel. The king room we were given had a work desk, tea/coffee making equipment, and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. The bathroom was luxurious. All in all very good value for money.

Hip new hotel with very helpful and attentive staff at the reception desk. Central location close to everything in Stone Town. - Next to a beach in Zanzibar and main attractions. - Rooftop bar with cold drinks.

5 meters from the hotel they sort and load garbage and that's one huge disadvantage.

Excellent roof terrace restaurant and bar Live band at night Cocktail hour on Friday night a shining star hidden in the streets of stone town Good quality freshly prepared food Well priced bar Proximity to other attractions is excellent Organisation of tours and transfers was faultless
Poor network and wifi connectivity Credit card facilities not always working 5% fee on credit card transactions, the only place in Zanzibar that charged a fee and claimed it to be banking law Unchanging exchange rate, was the same for our entire stay

The roof terrace is very nice, staff was friendly and the rooms were nice.
5% extra charge when paying with a credit card was a surprise. Didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

Lovely, modern, super friendly staff. Food at the restaurant is delicious and restaurant has a great view!
Using credit cards with them is not super easy, and walking back alone at night can be a bit scary as it's in the middle of a labyrinth of dark streets.

Clean hotel at the center of Stonetown. Friendly staff and good taxi service to the airport.
Dinner at the roof-terrace was not good. Although the view is excellent the seafood that we ordered was not fresh and less than they described in the menu. Strange for an island that is surrounded by many fish and seafood...
