What a hidden gem in Stone Town! We stayed there for three nights and it was fabulous. Breakfast was 5-star; the hotel was kept very clean. We had a flight changed as soon as we booked in, and the manager and his staff went above and beyond what was expected to help us out. It was a real help. Even when we were leaving at the end of our stay, the taxi driver we had booked didn't turn up, so yet again we owe the staff as one of them phoned someone he knew to take us. So yes, what a hotel and fantastic staff!

Lovely hotel located in a historic building - former home of a princess - in Stone Town - short walk from the ferry and to other attractions in town. The staff were amazing! One even accompanied me to help find a lost wallet and we found it ! The pool offered a relaxing way to end the day.

The location of this property in Stone Town is brilliant and you could really sense the history of the property and the town. The excursions on offer to really help you get under the skin of the town were great and the room, pool, food and staff were ace and really made our stay.
