The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Stone Town, close to the waterfront where boats depart to Prison Island. The rooms offer a homely ambiance with comfortable amenities, but the air conditioning could be more effective. The service is exceptional, offering various convenient options like room service and car hire. The rooftop dining experience provides a stunning view, but the breakfast could be more varied.
