"For a historic boutique hotel it was decent. It was kinda hard to get to for our driver. The rooms were definitely older with older furniture, dated looking bathroom, and a noticeable smell. The breakfast was convenient. As a westerner that it fine with the Hampton Inn, it wasn’t somewhere I would book again."

4.0 star property
Stone Town
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (208 reviews)
"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."
