    Do recommend for a stopover

    Comfortable room, helpful staff, the beachfront location made it easy for us to enjoy the nearby fish market, and we appreciated the self-service breakfast option every morning.

    Nothing bad to say.

    amazing breakfast
    clean property
    great staff
    awkward shower setup

    We had a great time exploring Stone Town's winding lanes and visiting the beautiful beaches. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff celebrated my birthday with a lovely surprise! The property was clean, and the breakfast was amazing.

    However, our room's shower setup was awkward with no proper curtain, making it challenging to use without getting the whole bathroom wet.

    central location
    vibrant atmosphere
    street noise

    The central location provides easy access to the beach and exploration of the historical areas without a hassle. The atmosphere offers vibrant life and energy, especially during late afternoons, making it a lively spot while enjoying the local scene.

    However, my room was located at the front, leading to significant noise from the street, particularly from 5 PM to 7 PM. While many vendors were polite, there were moments when repeated solicitations became a bit overwhelming, which could detract from relaxation on the loungers.

    slow response
    communication issues
    missed pickup

    The ocean-view room was absolutely stunning with a beautiful balcony. Staff were mostly friendly and made efforts to accommodate our needs, but communication regarding our airport pickup could be improved. The restaurant offered delicious food, with the organic chicken standing out as a highlight. However, response times from the staff were a bit slow during our stay.

    Perfect getaway with a fantastic view

    The check-in was super smooth, and the location in Stone Town is perfect. Breakfast was always hot and delicious, thanks to Ms. Anwaritha. Our room right on the beach was quiet and cozy. One downside? The Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, but it didn’t ruin our stay!
