The staff and the food were amazing. The included breakfast was fabulous and all meals were beautifully cooked and presented. The only downside was that the location was on a very busy street with a lot of traffic. No interesting shops nearby. The very clean pool was an added plus. .

This hotel exceeded our expectations! All the staff made our stay perfect in all regards. A big thank you to Sherife who really helped us to catch the ferry to Zanzibar. I don’t think we could have managed without her assistance. We’re from Australia and travelling the world on bicycles so very grateful for that. The food was outstanding and catered for my dietary requirements with no problem. Highly recommend staying here!
