My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. Although the rooms had a musty smell and were located at the end of the corridor, they were the comfiest I experienced in Zanzibar. The service, especially from Zubeyida, was friendly and very caring, promising to take care of our needs. The location, while convenient next to the airport, placed us near a noisy elevator. The dining experience was a bit limited, with just okay food options. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms had a musty smell but were neat and well-decorated, although the location at the end of the corridor without light switches was a bit inconvenient. The service was excellent, especially from ZUBEYIDA, who was very friendly and caring. The location, while near the airport, was a bit noisy being next to the elevator with a lot of guest traffic. The dining options were a bit limited, but the food was exceptional. The facilities were good as well, offering room service, car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and more.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, but they had a musty smell and were located right next to the elevator with a lot of guest traffic, affecting my peace. However, it was a convenient place to spend my last afternoon before heading back home.
