Impressed.

Great place to stay if getting the ferry from Dar Es Salaam and good space to explore from for a few days. Lovely room and reasonably priced. Non alcohol hotel which I think makes it a bit cheaper than others, which is great value.

Omar who managed the breakfast service was excellent and immediately put guests at ease with his warmth and attentiveness. Young Mohammed on staff was great and highly responsive to guest needs and carried himself with professionalism like all of the staff. The hotel has excellent location and high walk ability to Stone Town attractions. I particularly liked my room with seafront view. The property is very well managed and a place for potential improvement is considering a ventilation system for the bathroom.

This hotel is in an excellent location right across the street from the ocean and boardwalk. The room was very large (I upgraded) and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The only shortcomings were that the internet keep dropping in the room and the lighting in the room was very poor. That being said, I would start there again.
