"Petit déjeuner cool"

"Hotel located in the middle of Stone Town, beautifully maintained. Great breakfast and cocktail menu. Pool located at the rooftop is too small and does not feel private. It is located at the same level as the restaurant, which is open to the public. Staff was not very helpful for a solo black traveler. Like in many tourist-packed destination on the continent, staff tend to gravitate towards white or white-adjacent clients. Hotel manager (of Indian descent) was also very unwelcoming. He also...

"Tutto molto bello"

"Nice location with only steps to the water front, restaurants, boats to prison island and the Freddie Mercury museum. Breakfast was lovely and staff super friendly and helpful."

"Good for a stop over!"

"A wonderful stay in the heart of Stone Town! We stayed at Emerson Spice during our trip to Zanzibar and what a fantastic place it is! The hotel is full of character, with beautiful traditional architecture and a real sense of Zanzibar’s history. It’s completely different from your typical hotel, which is exactly what makes it so special. The location is brilliant for exploring Stone Town, with everything within easy walking distance. The atmosphere is relaxed and authentic, and staying here...

"Nothing at all to complain about regarding the hotel, it was excellent, but just note that the bay and the tide makes it not ideal for swimming/bathing at all times. But on the other hand, there is a looong pool available, so if the idea is to exercise swimming, this pool was excellent."

"My room was spotless. I liked the old wooden style with with excellent (silent) aircon. Nice location, and greatto have the coffee shop on the ground level. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooftop breakfasts were tasty and filling."

"This was absolutely a perfect retreat after a weeklong Safari in the Serengeti! We stayed in the two bedroom bungalow directly on the beach and had absolute privacy along with 24 hour security! I’m still dreaming of falling asleep to the sound of the sea every evening. The food was excellent and we ate seafood fresh every evening. The swimming pool was a luxury after spending time in the tide pools or swimming in the salty ocean we felt like there was ultimate privacy, even though there were...

"The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is a short walk to the Forodhani Gardens and the former Slave Market. There are several restaurants closeby especially a very popular one Lukmaan. The area around the hotel is bustling in the day and quiet at night. A taxi cannot drive up to this property so you will to do a short walk through the streets to get there. The staff were friendly and always greeted us. They were helpful when we called for assistance with anything we needed to clarify...

"Cozy, neat and well run hotel with friendly amazing staff providing services with a smile. Spacious rooms with firm mattresses. Avoid the rooms with the city view as it is noisy."

"What a thoughtfully curated hotel. They were extremely responsive and helpful with coordination of all travels and excursions. The staff were warm welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was memorable. They always had a smile on their faces. Special shout out to Raphael. Manages quality one day! Very unique hotel experience that I highly recommend! And the food… wow. Shout out to the chef very impressive. We hope to be back."

"I'm a solo female traveler and I only stayed for one night, I would recommend staying here. The staff was incredibly nice. I had a late flight they let me to check out late with no extra cost they can help me find a guide to show me around town all around great stay"

"Vi valgte at forlade hotellet selvom vi havde betalt for overnatningen. Der var insekter og larver i sengetøjet og puder. Helt skrækkeligt hotel"

"A very cosy hotel for quiet holidays. Standard breakfast. The tour operator Andre Group Limited (Tours & Travel) was nice to deal with. The hotel location demands a lot of private car & prepare for huge expenses for local transport. Good for beach lovers."
