This old Swahili mansion offers mid-priced en-suite rooms. Its strengths: a rooftop terrace overlooking the town with a 360° view, air-conditioned and ventilated rooms with antique Zanzibari beds, impeccably clean. Weak points: groups with their guides constantly climbing up to see the view from the restaurant, making the small plunge pool not at all intimate; the elevator is always busy; the beds are not fitted with mattress protectors; the restaurant is too expensive for the quality of the food.

One of the best 360 degrees view of Stonetown. I consider it costlier than most other restaurants but they offer good services. The Alfredo was nice. They offer happy hours at about 16hrs while the also have special meal offers each day. I recommend a visit before you leave Stonetown.

The highest building in Zanzibar with a beautiful view. There's a pool and the samosas were very delicious. Nice place to relax.

Fabulous roof terrace, one of the best in Stone Town. Great for a drink but food offers an interesting menu but is actually mediocre

My review concerns only the rooftop restaurant as we haven't interacted with the hotel.

My wife and I came for dinner and drinks on the rooftop restaurant.
The food was expensive and middling, the cocktails were good.
At the end of the meal we opted to pay in USD and were charged at 2200shillings/USD rather than the going rate of 2500, which left me astonished.
It's not clear whether the server thought we wouldn't notice, but the result is that we tipped nothing and wound up paying about what we expected to. Instead of leaving pleased, we had a foul taste in our mouth at the attempt to rip us off.

Be careful if you choose to dine here.

Restaurantul si barul sunt pe acoperiș, motiv pentru a care priveliștea este foarte interesantă.
Este placut sa observi cum mai multe culte religioase sunt atat de apropiate unele de altele.
Personalul este foarte primitor si amabil, iar interiorul cladirii este de parca desprins din povestile celor 1001 de nopti.

Curtea interioara foarte frumoasa.
