I felt right at home at this hotel with a lovely rooftop terrace. The rooms, although somewhat dark, were tidy and simple yet had everything I needed, making for a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, especially from Heike, and the location couldn't be more convenient for exploring Stone Town and the waterfront. The dining experience was delightful with a plentiful selection of fresh fruits and a cozy dining area. The hotel offers great value for money overall.
