"Idéal pour un court séjour à Stone Town."

Emplacement parfait. Maison pleine de charme et rooftop avec une vue incroyable sur la ville. À noter : la présence d’un ascenseur. Grande chambre, personnel très aimable.

Un vrai problème avec l’absence de wifi dans les chambres, celui-ci n’étant disponible que à la réception et sur le rooftop. Certaines chambres mériteraient un petit rafraîchissement.

Le cadre, maison traditionnelle magnifique, toit terrasse avec vue sur les toits de stone town, l'emplacement vraiment parfait, le personnel très bien

Peu d'eau chaude et la douche ne coulait pas très bien, bruyant mais il y avait un chantier en travaux à côté

Great service (special thanks to Mwinyi at the reception, who helped with great advice), beautiful building and decorations, comfortable rooms, amazing view from the rooftop, location in the midst of a labyrinth was lovely. We travelled with a baby and the staff at the kitchen were super helpful. Btw the coconut curry is to die for!

The pool is as big as a shoebox

Staff were so friendly, good food in the restaurant. Breakfast was nice and view from rooftop lovely. Amazing building, big room. They organised a good guide for our walking tour and nice driver to our next hotel.

It was fine for us, but may be a bit tricky for some people to find on foot. Pool was very small, and we didn't use it as it's right next to the restaurant with lots of tour groups coming and going all day to see the building/view.
