My experience at the hotel was a mix of great location and below-par facilities. The rooms were spacious and provided a lovely view, but cleanliness left much to be desired, and the service was slow. On the positive side, I found the breakfast quite satisfactory, offering a good variety. However, the pool area lacked sufficient sunbeds and shade, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. While it's positioned excellently for exploring, it's clear the hotel needs some investment to improve its standards.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel, it really felt like home away from home. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the action, and I felt completely safe exploring the area, especially as a woman traveler. The room was spacious and comfortable, though I did experience some noise during a marathon event, which was a minor setback. The staff were incredibly helpful and made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, definitely a value for money experience!

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with its beautiful evenings by the waterfront and easy access to the vibrant streets of Stone Town. Mr. Abdullah was incredibly helpful throughout our visit. However, the experience was marred by issues like stained flooring and not-so-great fridges in some areas. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option if you're prioritizing location and assistance.

On the other hand, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, and the breakfast options were lacking for what we expected. The location was convenient for exploring, but the noise from the street was a bit bothersome in the early hours.
