The hotel is a mixed bag with clean and spacious rooms but lacking certain amenities advertised. The service is welcoming but lacks proactiveness. The location is excellent being right next to the beach. The dining options are average. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers clean and modern rooms, but lacks expected amenities like a safe and tea/coffee maker. The service is exceptionally accommodating and delivered by a team of young, cheerful staff. The location, right by the beach on the east coast of Zanzibar, is fairly decent. The dining experience, while delicious, may get repetitive with the same options daily.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed, meeting high western standards. The staff was beyond helpful and always wore a smile. The location is unbeatable, right by the beach and among incredible works of Tanzanian art. However, the dining experience was just okay with limited variety, and some facilities could use a little improvement.
