9.0/10

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are beautifully renovated with a big walk-in closet, and the powerful hot shower was truly refreshing. The only downside was the terrible screeching sound coming from the aircon. The service was impeccable, except for the rude manager encountered. The location is superb, right in the center of Stone Town and close to the waterfront. Dining with a wonderful view from the rooftop was a highlight. Overall, a great choice for a stay in Stone Town!
