Nous sommes restés pour une nuit. Le bâtiment est splendide et la chambre est magnifique. Nous avons également dîner sur le rooftop où la nourriture était très bonne et le groupe de musique avec la chanteuse rajoutait une très belle ambiance. Le personnel était aussi très agréable et à l'écoute. Ils nous ont également aidé à organiser plusieurs excursions. Nous recommandons vivement.

Authentic Zanzibar atmosphere in the heart of Stone Town
Pros: The atmosphere is truly authentic and unique - it feels like staying in a beautiful historic Zanzibar house rather than in a conventional hotel. The service was excellent, warm and very attentive. We stayed in the Crystal Room, which was full of character. We especially loved the four-poster bed with its canopy, and the bathroom was absolutely unique and beautifully designed. Breakfast was generous and served on the rooftop, with a wonderful view over the rooftops of Stone Town. The location is also excellent for exploring Stone Town on foot. Cons: The breakfast was very good, but
