This place is a rip off. Be aware that they will charge you extra if you pay online under the excuse of “taxes”. It’s only hotel in Zanzibar that does that. I never had to pay any extras for taxes in any other hotel during my 10 days stay in Zanzibar . The hotel is also too expensive. True it’s clean, but still overpriced.

Building obviously has interesting history. AC was very nice. No hot water, but we didn't ask them to check so maybe we missed something

Despite paying for the booking well in advance, upon arrival I was told that there was no vacancy and that the hotel was fully booked. The manager was not on site and the front desk was unmanned for extended periods. Eventually spoke with the manager who expressed her regret for the situation but everywhere in Stonetown was fully booked so I ended paying for a room at another property that was 5X's the price.
