"I didn't realize it was a Chinese hotel when I booked. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find the owner, who was Chinese, very welcoming and attentive. I booked a double room, but it came with a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate wet and dry bathroom. The hotel also has its own restaurant, offering delicious local and Chinese cuisine for all three meals. The hostess was especially helpful in arranging our itinerary, arranging the driver, and negotiating a price. It was a very satisfying trip."

"The hotel is built on an old house. To be fair, it is very unique. Some corners of the hotel are very photogenic during the day, but the shortcomings are also obvious. First of all, the lighting in the house is insufficient, especially at night, the overall feeling is very old under the dim light, and it does not look clean and hygienic enough. However, considering the price, it is still relatively cost-effective."

"Advantages: Hotel located at the port which allows you to explore the entire old town on foot. The room is nice and spacious and the bathroom was generally clean. The staff is very pleasant. Breakfast is pretty good (especially the egg menu items) and the one dinner we had there was excellent. The view from the rooftop is magnificent. Disadvantages: The neighborhood is very noisy and the room (303) was under the rooftop restaurant so there was a lot of noise until at least 11pm and from 6am in the morning. Even though the bathroom was clean we found 2 cockroaches."

"The room was clean but too damp. The whole room smelled damp. The price was not cheap. There was a resident singer on the top floor of the hotel until 22:30. If you didn't listen, it was like living in a KTV downstairs. The breakfast and the paid a la carte dinner were not good. I ordered an expensive seafood platter (see the picture). The half lobster in it tasted like it had been dead for a long time. The meat tasted powdery. And their meals are really not cheap."

"The hotel's location is good, in Stone Town, convenient for getting around. The room was a special offer, in a side building, quite small, and without an elevator. Service was average. These are all acceptable. The most outrageous thing was that the hotel fan snapped the mosquito net off at night! Then the metal chain connecting the net was also torn off! It was very dangerous when it was thrown out. We immediately called the front desk to explain the situation, but they just sent someone to remove the net. The next day at checkout, we told the front desk again. They just gave a perfunctory ”sorry.” No compensation was offered, and no explanation was given! I will never stay here again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else."

"I stayed at this hotel upon arrival and departure from Zanzibar. The first time it was a short and enjoyable stay. Unfortunately, during my second stay I was upgraded to room 301, which is large and overlooks the swimming pool, but it needs maintenance, especially the bathroom, which needs immediate maintenance. It is a very noisy room, as you can hear the sounds of the elevator and the water pump. The furniture is luxurious, but old and needs to be upgraded. The location is excellent, overlooking the port, but the entrance to the hotel is on a potholed street. The staff is friendly and respectful."

"The location is at the quiet side if the Stone Town. Due to it is situated inside a small alley, the directions could be quite complicated and we were lost several times to head back to the hotel. Despite being assured that it's safe, we were tapped by few mischievous children when we passed by a school near the hotel. That said, the room and hotel itself was great. We particularly enjoyed the breeze at the open air loft, where we could view the sea and ships from far away. It was indeed relaxing. The historical bed and bath in the room made the experience so unique. The only downside was there was insufficient of hot water for the bath. The breakfast wise was in fact the best we had in Tanzania, not to mention the impeccable hospitality provided by the staff there. Special shout out to the helpful staff who assisted us with our luggage during check in and out. Bear in mind on the steep staircase up to the room and inside the room to the loft. It might not be suitable for those who have knee problem, as you literally need to climb up and down everytime to the washroom. Otherwise, it was quite a memorable stay."

Utterly enchanting- from our 5am arrival until our departure 3 days later we were looked after so incredibly well. The hotel organised our airport pickup and opened up with a gentle tap (you may need help to find it as it’s in the narrow streets of old Stonetown). The front of house was superb and Peter took care of us. The hotel has so much atmosphere, full of antiques and lush vegetation. Breakfast is in the roof balcony. Excursions can be organised. I had read a few unpleasant reviews but I can’t think why, cleanliness was first class and the hospitality was outstanding. I hope you are lucky enough to find a room - we stayed 3 nights it was so good.

Good location - in the center of everything in Stone town. They don’t have water coolers for clients - you have to go to the restaurant to refill. Also: it seems they bought another building. So they accommodated us in like 200 meters from main facility. Surely it’s kind of inconvenient but still ok.
