In Stone Town, but away from the hustle and bustle

Difficult to find, but once you do find it you'll be pleasantly surprised. Staff are nice and helpful, there's a nice garden-type atmosphere in the common area, and the room was clean and spotless. Breakfast was quite delicious, with a general mix of an omlette, crepes, fruit and/or vegetables; it does change if you stay more than a day. A nice place to stay if you can work remote. No TVs in the rooms for those who care.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and nice. Staff were helpful. Breakfast is small so not enough to leave you feeling full. Walking distance to different places to shop and eat. Private bathroom is the best option to get. No elevators, keep that in mind if you have heavy luggage or a lot of luggage. They only do checkin from 2pm to 6pm, so try to arrange a later checkin way in advance if you need to. I would stay here again. We had a nice stay.
