We spent one night here to explore Stone Town, and this was the perfect vantage point. The hotel is upper class standard, for -- in our opinion -- an acceptable price. We were able to walk directly from the front door to the most obligatory sightseeing points (i.e., Palace Museum, Forodhani Park, and into the historic section of town with its narrow streets and things to discover at every turn). After all that exciting hustle and bustle it was nice to be able to just walk right back to the hotel, take a nice hot shower and sleep on a luxuriously comfortable mattress. Our rooms were of a very good size, comfortable and spacious. Also: The breakfast buffet is delicious, offering a nice variety of choices.
