The hotel location is on the seafront. It is central to the historic parts. The building has lots of character. The staff seemed accommodating.
The furniture was very old dated. The floor was dirty. The bathroom had a certain bad smell.

charming seafront experience

central locationwooden balconyharbour view
i enjoyed the central location, directly on the seafront. the hotel offered easy access to town and shops. our room had a big wooden balcony overlooking the harbour. i found it superb to watch the comings and goings of stone town.
the muezzin was very audible in the morning. with the window open or closed, it was difficult to not notice the outdoor noises.
Location

The hotel is centrally placed, providing easy access to the town's various attractions and local shops. it is near little alleys. Full of activity and shopping opportunities. I found it quite convenient. the seafront position adds to the appeal.
