Good with room for improvement.
Pros:

Nice location, beautiful hotel

Cons:

We booked for nine people (6 adults and 3 kids) and I could show it. When we arrived the reception rather aggressively said we only booked for 6 adults. After a while it showed we had booked for 9 and they had it wrong. Bad start!
Also breakfast is way to big and slow.

Great little hotel in a fantastic locale, serving tasty breakfasts and meals with lovely staff!
Pros:

Cute little hotel in centre of Stone Town with the great access that the location offered. Very helpful and friendly staff. Great breakfast included in tariff.

Cons:

A small fridge inside the room would be good. Also some hooks or rails in the bathroom to hang towels. Also, a TV would be nice.

The kettle provided was both small and didn't work well as it didn't turn itself off once it had boiled so tended to overflow. We used it a lot to make tea and coffee and to heat up milk for our baby.

Pros:

Wir hatten eine eher stressige Fahrt nach Stone Town mit Umleitungen, Verkehrschaos und die letzten paar hundert Meter mussten wir sogar laufen, da überhaupt nichts mehr ging. Im Hotel angekommen verbesserte sich unsere Stimmung sofort. Wir wurden herzlich willkommen geheissen und konnten nach dem Checkin sogleich aufs Zimmer. Unser Zimmer war gross (zwei Räume + Toilette) und für die zentrale Lage äusserst ruhig. Am ersten Morgen mussten wir früh raus und das Hotel hat ein uns ein super Frühstück für unterwegs vorbereitet.

Das Frühstück im Hotel war a la Carte und einfach der Knaller. Mit Früchteteller, Oatmeal und Omelette gestärkt starteten wir jeweils in den Tag. Abendessen hatten wir einmal. Auch super lecker allerdings etwas teurer als in Stone Town üblich.

Personal sehr lieb und auch immer zu einem netten Schwatz bereit.

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und die Temperatur ok. Die Klimaanlage war laut, klackerte und kühlte den Raum schon einigermassen. Der Deckenventilator musste aber in der Nacht eingeschaltet sein, die Klimaanlage allein reichte nicht aus.

Der Boiler wärmte das Wasser maximal lauwarm, aber bei der Hitze war das OK.

Das Hotel würden wir beim nächsten Besuch wieder buchen und können es weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Nichts gravierendes

Väl renoverat med otrolig frukost!
Pros:

Frukosten var otrolig!!!!! Personalen i köket/restaurangen var så trevliga och bra.
Rummet var jätte fint och trevligt.
Vi fick även hjälp att hyra bil till ett väldigt bra pris

Cons:

Nattpersonalen, personen som hjälpte oss till vårt rum var väldigt vimsig och hade inte koll på vad rummet var. Trots så få rum. Och försökte öppna dörren dit någon låg och sov. Inge bra första intryck. Som tur var räddade kollegan upp det och resten av vistelsen för oss åtminstone var toppen!
