Great location for the walking tour, Old Fort, and Forodhani Gardens.

Their staff was great - making sure we could quickly grab a pizza before our walking tour. Breakfast in the morning was also good.

Unfortunately, we weren't made aware of the switch on the wall to turn on the water heater, so I had a cold shower in the morning.

Could be better based on the price

Good location close to the Forodhani night market.
We couldn't sleep due to the noise outside from the other Air-condition, and from the people cleaning and preparing breakfast from 6am.

Great … but the Wi-Fi sucked!

Everything was good or even vert good, like the room 403 on top by the pool, EXCEPT the Wi-Fi up in the room totally sucked. The signal went in and out and when it was there, it was very weak.

But for the money I paid during low season overall, except the Wi-Fi it was a good value.

The location of the property is fabulous if you want to get the historic feel of Zanzibar.
The seafront is stone's throw sway on one side and the shops are stone's throw away on the other side. There is ample choice of restaurants within walking distance.

Good Place to Stay

Location was excellent in Stone Town. It was safe, friendly and clean. Service and manager were phenomenal. Not one piece of comfortable furniture, bed was adequate. Room had good air conditioner but TV was fuzzy. Breakfast was average, fruit was good.

A great place to stay, especially for a scuba diver. A 2 minute walk to the dive shop, preceded by a nuce complimentary breakfast! My room was cleaned spotless every day, fresh towels and sheets every day. All amenities such as AC,TV,pool,WiFi, were fully operational. Staff were all friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be staying here again!

If your not looking to pay for a 5-star hotel, I would highly HIGHLY recommend this hotel. The staff was super helpful and had great communication throughout the hotel. Ebrahim was the absolute best - he was able to exchange all of our USD to smaller denominations of USD or exchange directly to Tanzanian Schilling and booked us a taxi that was half the cost of everything else we were finding. The hotel is also in a great location behind the old fort / 12 minute walk from the ferry with a ton of great dining options (would recommend Masa and the beach house). Overall the place was very clean and the interior is absolutely gorgeous!

The room was really good with beautiful furniture and furnishings as well as an incredible bathroom! The swimming pool is lovely, but rather small and the staff are really friendly. It's a beautiful, really good looking building inside and out. The breakfast, however, was fairly basic but filled me up.

It is a nice clean hotel in a very good location. there are many restaurants very close to the front door and across the street is the historic old fort. The pool is small but great to cool off in and is on the rooftop with nice views

Lovely hotel in a perfect location

Amazing location to explore Stone Town. Lovely staff, only too happy to help. The deluxe rooms are a great size, and right by the pool. Pool is quite small, but perfectly good enough to cool off in the afternoon sun! Overall a really good stay here, thank you Forodhani

Location and hotel itself was good. Comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Not much variety for breakfast. Pool is more like a large hot tub for lounging rather than swimming.

Great Overnight Stay

Had a great time at this hotel. The concierge helped me by calling a guide to the hotel to negotiate a few tours (no tours are officially run out of the hotel) and advised me on a wonderful lunch spot. The rooftop pool, while small, was very relaxing after a long day. The location in Stone Town was close to everything. The breakfast buffet was very nice the next morning with the ripest mangoes I've ever eaten.

Sadly pool or terrace were not available for use due to the refurbishment which were mainly whole purpose of me choosing this hotel. So slightly let down not knowing of this detail. Otherwise location, breakfast and service were great.

One night

Had to change to one of their other hotels because the air conditioner and toilet was broken. Forodhani Park, Dhow Place and Mizangani Sea Front are all owned by the same people and nearly identical inside. We changed to Dhow Palace but the swimming pool there was under maintenance and we really wanted a hotel with a pool. Otherwise hotel is clean, well decorated and has strong AC. Forodhani Park is easier to find than Dhow palace.

Great location. Room was big and fairly comfortable although the aircon wasn't hugely effective. Staff seemed a bit preoccupied and seemed more interested in trying to sell tours and taxis than anything else. Breakfast was very basic.

A lovely hotel in a prime location in Stone Town, just across from Forodhani gardens. The buffet breakfast was very good with a varied menu, from standard breakfast items to curries and chocolate gateau. Staff were helpful and the rooftop pool very refreshing in late afternoon.

So so...

Good location and friendly staff. However, not well maintained hotel and not very clean (even found a small cockroach on the breakfast buffet table.
Basic room but have all you need (bed, TV and AC). No safety box in the room, but there is one for free at reception desk.
No lift and rooms can be located 2 or 3 floors up, so get ready to exercise.
Overall, the room not worth the 135 USD we paid for 1 night.

Good hotel for the price

1. Decent wifi
2. Was able to book Stonetown Walking Tour with the hotel
3. Staff was helpful and friendly
4. Air conditioning in the rooms was great
5. Roomy shower and bathroom. Bedroom was nice sized as well.
6. Breakfast was decent, had the basics and was enough for me.
7. Location was good, but Stonetown is small anyways.

If I returned to Stonetown, I would stay here again, especially for the price I paid. It is literally a 3 minute walk to the more expensive hotels, so unless you plan to spend a lot of time in your room it is not worth paying the extra money.

Enjoyed this hotel!

The location was wonderful and the service was great at this hotel. It was right across the street from the Forodhani Garden night market - making it a conveniently located place. It was easy to walk around Stone Town with Forodhani as the starting point. I would recommend staying here to others. They were helpful by offering tours...I already had mine set up in advance but it was good to have that option at the front desk. They also had a safe for your belongings which was great.

Nice hotel with lots of room for improvement

The room was stuff and had a mouldy smell that may have been as a result of some dampness. The floor was sticky, evidence that it had not been properly cleaned. The shower was faulty and was loosely fitted to the wall.

Accomodatie was goed schoon en redelijk goed onderhouden. Airco zag er miner goed uit kon wel een onderhoudsbeurt gebruiken. Behoorlijk gehorig je hoort alles op de gang en veel van buiten. Zwembad niet klein en niet functioneel. Personeel is erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Hotel midt i byen med pool på taget

Vi havde kun en enkelt overnatning. Fint værelse og personalet var meget venlige. Dejligt med en lille pool på taget, der manglede dog parasoller så vi kunne komme i skygge. Ligger meget centralt i forhold til shopping og udflugter
