Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests have shared mixed experiences at the hotel. While the location in the heart of Stone Town is highly praised for its accessibility to shops and restaurants, numerous complaints about cleanliness, outdated facilities, and poor service emerged. Many reviews highlighted dirty rooms, stained linens, and a general lack of maintenance. The atmosphere and stylish décor received positive remarks; however, the overall quality did not meet guest expectations, leading to a perception of poor value for money. Although breakfast was often mentioned as a positive aspect, it varied in quality.
