We didn’t spend much time at the apartment as we booked it to be close to the airport due to an early flight. That said, the place is in a great location, has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the staff that greeted us was lovely! We were even provided a snack and some delicious hot tea upon arrival. The owner was incredibly hospitable and made sure we are set up for our short stay and even made sure we had back up transportation to the airport “just in case”. Great communication all around and a lovely property. Thank you for taking such good care of us :)

Great location in town nearby the shore and lots of cafes and restaurants around. Beautiful garden with pool and restaurant. The breakfast is nice with a lot of variety. Rooms are comfortable and come with a mini fridge and water boiler. I can recommend this place to stay for a few nights to explore town.

Loved our stay here and wished we stayed longer! Ali and the team were so lovely and accommodating with everything! Needless to say this is the best coffee we had in Zanzibar! My partner is also still raving about the breakfast!! Best place to stay if you have any dietary requirements as well. There are so many vegan options on the cafe menu and soya milk for coffee as well. Thank you so much for everything team

The location was very good, directly in the city center of stonetown. The room was big, and the AC worked well. The best experience was the receptionist, who were very kind, and offered lots of good restaurant for us. We got cold water from fridge.

I would especially like to thank Mister Kurwa Uledi, one of the managers - he is one of the best people I've ever met. Asante sana! We had a small issue with the room, and he immediately fixed it, and checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was okay. Outstanding customer service! Most probably the best location you can stay in while visiting Stone Town. 100% recommend. Just book it!

The location and architecture is fantastic, few other places in town match it, if at all. The deep pool was a surprise, not expected from a city centre location. The room is stylish and there will s a very quiet Aircon in operation.

LOVED this hotel. Exceptionally comfy beds and rooms, amazing architecture and old feel to the hotel. Refreshing pools, amazing breakfast and the best location you could ask for in stone town. The only hotel that has sunbeds on the beach. Great ambience overall. I've stayed in the serena before but this comes on top! We skipped some activities because we enjoyed staying in the hotel so much 😁
