"Turistattraktion eller hotel?"

3.0

Hotellet ligger meget centralt i det gamle kvarter af StoneTown og man kan hurtigt komme hen til relevante steder i byen

Forfærdeligt hårde senge og værelset lugtede ekstremt meget af skimmelsvamp. Hotellets pool er nærmere en jacuzzi på toppen af hotellet, som ikke rigtig er til at ligge ved da hotellet bliver brugt som en turistattraktion for udefrakomne til at se udsigten over StoneTown. Vi lå ved poolen en eftermiddag og havde omkring 20-30 hold af turister der kom og stod lige op og ned af stolene for at se udsigten. Der er ca et nyt hold turister på hotellet hver 10-15 min... Morgenmaden var ikke noget at skrive hjem om...

"Atmospherically located in the heart of Stone Town"

8.0

The staff, the food and the atmosphere is all wonderful.

The pool was too small even for infants, as well as being filthy

"Exceptional"

10.0

Prachtig, authentiek, koopmanshuis. Midden in het oude centrum. Alle highlights op loopafstand. Beneden het locale leven. Rooftop restaurant meer dan een lekkere plek om bij te komen van alle indrukken en heerlijk te eten. Erg leuk personeel! Service grandioos!

Veel niet gasten wisten met een guide het dakterras te vinden vanwege het uitzicht. Ze komen en gaan. Storen daarmee echt de hotelgasten.

"Good food and amazing view of the city"

8.0

The roof top is very nice, with a view of all the city. And the food is good. It felt good to take a break here and rest from the heat and have a good lunch. The seafood is very good. Service too. And she spoke good English. Would recommend when in Stone Twon.

"Charmigt boende i Stone Town med fin takterrass."

9.0

Takterrassen, den vackra interiören, personalen och den generösa frukosten.

Byggplatsen alldeles bredvid hotellet som medförde ganska mycket buller.
