The location of the hotel was fantastic, right in the heart of the city. I also enjoyed the helpful and friendly staff who gave great recommendations. the coffee served at the hotel was excellent.

The layout of the bathrooms and rooms, which I found a bit odd. Another minor issue was the low shower pressure.

This hotel is located right in the center of Stone Town, making it convenient for exploring the city's attractions. The old building itself adds to the charm of the place, and the nearby market adds a lively atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with the option of a private bathroom. The breakfast served on the rooftop is a highlight, offering a variety of delicious options and stunning views of the unseen roof-scape.

All was okay, no complaints.

The café had delicious coffee and baked goods, perfect for a quick bite. The rooftop terrace offered amazing views of Stone Town, great for enjoying breakfast. The staff was helpful, with 24-hour service.

I guess I could have done without climbing all those stairs, but who needs an elevator when you have a charming old building?

Excellent location, Swahili styled accommodation. Rooftop terrace with fridge. Great coffee and food. Adorable rooftop breakfast. Lovely staff. Nearby restaurants Emerson Spice and House of Spices.

Unique and Authentic Experience

During my stay at this charming hotel, I was captivated by its unique and authentic atmosphere. The rooftop breakfast was a delightful way to start the day, offering quality coffee and delicious pastries. Exploring the narrow market alleys felt safe and exciting, with plenty of opportunities to shop and immerse myself in the local culture. The helpful manager, Sefira, suggested a spice tour with a luncheon, which turned out to be an incredible experience. In a thatch roof treehouse overlooking the lush hills, a local family prepared an 8-dish spread, allowing us to connect with their culture and feel like family. The location was perfect, providing easy access to the spice market, clothing shops, and numerous restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel for a unique and memorable stay.

This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of Stone Town. It used to be a palace, so you can imagine the stunning architecture and charming decor. The rooms are exactly as portrayed in the pictures - simply beautiful. Plus, they provide both air conditioning and a fan, so you'll always be comfortable. One of the highlights is the breakfast, which is served on the rooftop with a breathtaking view of the city. It's the perfect way to start your day.

No negatives, everything was great.

Nothing it was perfect.

I had the most wonderful stay at the hotel. The building itself was absolutely stunning, with beautiful antiques and traditional elements that added to its charm. One of my favorite parts was the lovely rooftop, where breakfast was served every morning. The views of the city were breathtaking, and the coffee and baked goods were simply amazing. The rooms were spacious with high ceilings, and I loved the fact that they had fans, strong AC, and a safe for my valuables. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring that my room was exceptionally clean and that the AC worked brilliantly. The location was perfect, with most places of interest just a short walk away. I highly recommend this hotel for a truly special experience.

I had a fantastic stay at this coffee house in Stone Town. the hotel is known for its amazing coffee and it definitely lived up to its reputation. the rooftop where breakfast is served is absolutely stunning and offers a private space for hotel guests. Despite having a private bathroom down the hall, it was convenient and the bathroom itself was great. the air conditioning unit was a lifesaver after a hot day of exploring. the staff were incredibly helpful, even assisting with tour arrangements and transportation. I can't wait to return and see the staff again!

Cannot find any fault 😊

The café served delicious coffee and pastries, and the rooftop terrace had stunning views. Honesty fridge stocked with beer - a nice touch.

Just loved the musty smell in my room, so refreshing!

The value for money at the hotel was exceptional, especially considering the beautiful and spacious room I stayed in. The location was perfect, with everything I needed within walking distance, and the staff at the Coffee House were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable.

Menu for breakfast could be improved with a wider variety of options.
