Good location for an early morning departure. Unfortunately the service and facilities were lacking. Upon informing the front desk about no hot water when showering, there was no recourse instead just a laugh. Furthermore when trying to checkout and pay our bill, their credit machines were not working delaying us nearly 20 minutes and cutting our airport check in close. Experienced much better accommodation and service at other properties in Zanzibar.

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.
