perpiacere non andateci, ci sono tantissime altre strutture che meritano di più
Pros:

ottima posizione e cortesia a livello di check in e out, la struttura ha anche uno stile arabo interessante ma è rimasta ferma al secolo scorso, sia architettonicamente che come servizi e anche come pulizia. EVITARE

Cons:

camera piccola nonostante abbia chiesto la suite e pagato per 40$ in più rispetto la standard, che ho visto e non aveva niente di meno, anzi aveva un letto in più ed era più grande. la colazione veramente basilare. cortese il servizio ma per niente all'altezza della cifra pagata, vale meno della metà

Pros:

We like the staff and the location for it is convient for driver pick up & drop off after our tour activities.

Cons:

The room has mosquito net but they are stained, the bathroom water pressure is too slow, no toothbrush & toothpaste, and no soap/bath gel and shampoo (provide your own), shuttle service is $20-one way for a 15-minute or less airport drive.

Inte så bra
Pros:

Frukosten var bra och att få sitta ute på takterassen var bra.

Cons:

Enligt beskrivningen skulle det finnas en restaurang på hotellet, så är inte fallet. Vattentryck i duschen var superdåligt det absolut sämsta jag varit med om, näst intill obefintligt. Tvättställ satt löst. WIFI fungerade inte på 3.e våningen där vi bodde. Hissen hade ingen besiktningsbeskrivning så vi gick 3 trappor upp och ner. Kylskåpet låt som ett tröskvärk. Fläkten hade obalans så vi var oroliga att den skulle ramla ner.

A hidden gem in Stone Town
Pros:

We had a great stay at Asmini Palace. The staff were curious, attentive, and quite helpful. The rooms were large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. This is a hidden gem in Stone Town, I highly recommend it.

Very good
Pros:

The breakfast was cooked to order. I believe that we were the only guests staying there at the time, though it was low-season.

The location is excellent near Forodhani Park.

Cons:

The lift wasn't working and the room didn't have a balcony, although we were expecting one.

Great stay in Stone Town
Pros:

The staff are friendly and the rooms are great. Spacious, clean and great value for money. Breakfast served on the roof was lovely, staff are around 24/7 to assist. It is very centrally located and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to be.
