Boutique-hôtel arty, avec terrasses et restaurants sur le toit-terrasse, dans un cadre historique à Stone Town.
Ce boutique-hôtel arty est un édifice historique classé, doté de belles portes en bois sculptées et de lustres d'antan. Les 11 chambres sont uniques, avec des mosaïques en marbre, des boiseries, des vitraux colorés et des lits de princesses. Certaines se prolongent par des terrasses sur les toits, disposent d'une douche sur le balcon ; toutes sont spectaculaires. Un livre ancien sur Zanzibar est posé sur le bureau, soulignant le cachet de l'endroit. En prime : linge délicat, salons coquet... Secret Garden et Tea house (toit-terrasse) sont d'excellentes tables.

Upsides:
1) Location - right inside Stone Town, easy to access anywhere by foot
2) Service - lovely staff. The receptionist on the second day told me had overcharged my card and I didn’t even realize it.. appreciate the honesty
3) Beautiful rooms - reminds me of the riads of Marrakech. So beautiful!
4) Restaurants (spice garden and roof top dinner) were lovely! Although was still a bit hungry after the roof top course dinner.
Things to be aware of because it is important to manage expectations:
1) There is no access by car. Your taxi has to stop nearby and then it’s a 5 minute walk, but our driver rang the hotel beforehand so there was a porter that met us at the car stop to help with bags.
2) it’s a heritage hotel so some things are unavailable. There is no lift and the stairs are rather steep, not at all suitable for those with mobility issues.
3) there are 5 mosques in the vicinity and you will wake up 5am with more than one imam screeching in your ear even with ear plugs. On some days it even started at 4am (not a prayer but some mumbling). If you need your beauty sleep, this place may not be for you. We did not sleep well during all our nights there because of this but I guess it’s not the hotel’s fault. There is no sound proofing because it is a heritage building and you will also hear noises from normal life throughout the day.
4) the shower pressure was at times atrocious, marginally acceptable at best. sometimes there was no water at all temporarily (even with no power blackout). To me, this is a real disadvantage.
5) there was no safe in our room, so we had to keep valuables with the reception.
