"Ein wundervolles Erlebnis"

10.0

Das Gebäude ist unfassbar schön! Das Highlight ist definitiv die Rooftop Terasse und der sehr freundliche, hilfsbereite und herzliche Empfang und die Bedienung. Man könnte es nicht besser haben. Die Zimmer sind sehr gross, sauber und verfügen über alles Notwendige. Die Lage fand ich auch top - Nur wenige Minuten zum Gewürzmarkt, wie auch dem Sklavenmarkt, -monument und zur Küste. Ich bin sehr froh über meine Entscheidung hier gebucht zu haben und empfehle es sehr gerne weiter. Vielen Dank!

Einzig das Bett, welches ich hatte war etwas unbequem; eine sehr weiche Matratze. Aber das ist eine Kleinigkeit.

What a gem! I will always remember staying at this historic "house" with a stellar view. Great breakfast, friendly staff who made us feel welcome, and a wonderful atmosphere. Sitting on the terrace overlooking Stone Town with a coffee or beer in hand - there was nothing better! The room was comfortable and spacious. Staff helped us organize an outing.

Wifi was just OK, and only in common areas. A/C worked well enough, but didn't quite cool down the whole room. Room could use a desk or table (something to put our stuff on or sit at).
