My husband, son and I stayed here for one night to explore Stone Town. The location was perfect - only a short trip from the airport and right in the heart of Stone Town - just round the corner from the Freddie Mercury museum. The word that springs to mind when I think of this hotel is "grand". From the fountain in reception, to the ornate carved wood - which is everywhere, even on the fire extinguisher cupboards! - to the building itself, it has an old world colonial feel. I loved it! Our room was two bedrooms and one bathroom in a suite - very nice! We had a small balcony which had a side sea view which was perfect for sitting on to have an early morning coffee. Breakfast was a vast buffet featuring cereals, breads and spreads, a wide range of hot items, deli meats and fishes, cheeses, fruit and a chef cooking eggs to order, all served in a beautiful dining room overlooking the white sands and the turquoise sea. Completed baffled how one of the other reviewers couldn't find something to eat! We walked around Stone Town then returned to sit next to the pool, enjoy a couple of drinks and watch the world go by on the beach. The service was excellent and I have no reservations in recommending this hotel.
