Near the airport. Very comfortable beds and beautiful room. Nice breakfast and great personnel. Being with kids, we preferred staying in this nice location instead of Stone Town which is very crowded and then having a walking tour to Stone Town. Would come again.

Room was nice, clean. Breakfast was ok, nothing great. I arranged for a shuttle pick up as my flight arrived in early hours of the morning 2am. Hotel confirmed everything via email. Unfortunately when i arrived the shuttle did not show up. As a solo female traveller and my first time in Zanzibar, i felt let down, i was fortunate to find a friendly airport porter who assisted me with finding a reputable taxi.

We are currently cycling around the world ( from Australia) The staff were wonderful and did an amazing job helping us to pack our bikes for our flight. A big shout out to Asha and Gift for everything! The rooms were quiet and beds comfy. A bit challenging to work out light switches though. The swimming pool was huge ! Just a quick mention that there’s no bar at the hotel so we got a taxi into stone town which wasn’t a problem for us.

Perfect hotel

Fantastic hotel near the airport. It was a bit far from the city center though. We went by taxi and that was okay. The hotel was so calm and nice that we wanted to spend the time there instead of the busy streets. The rooms and area around the hotel was clean. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very good. Cant think of anything to complaint about.

I was here for one night before returning back to Dar. It was a very easy check in process. The staff were helpful with the luggage and assisting me to my room. The first thing I noticed was how clean the property was. The room was gorgeous. They had all necessary amenities and we had a very quiet and calm night which was very much needed. It was also in a very convenient location, which gave us a little more time to sleep before leaving the next morning.
