Cool eclectic building in the gorgeous Stone town. Close to everything but tucked away from all the noisy hustl and bustle. Was able to walk easy to activities beach and resteraunts. Also had great water pressure in the shower with hot water. Guy on reception was gorgeous always greeting guests with a smile and ensuring they are happy.

Staff were extremely helpful, they even walked me to a local electronics shop in stone town when my phone charger broke. The location is brilliant, right in the heart of stone town but only 1 street back from the water so easy to find and remember where you are. Also quite near to the ferry terminal so no taxi required if you’re arriving by ferry. Facilities are basic, but still good for what you pay for. My room had a fan and air conditioning which both worked well. The terrace on top is absolutely beautiful, you can only really see the adjacent buildings but they all the quintessential stone town architecture so it’s still very nice. It was a bit noisy but considering it’s in the middle of stone town it’s actually pretty good. I also got washing done there which was reasonably priced for hotel standards. The breakfast was quite basic but it’s included so can’t complain! I was tossing up between staying here and somewhere slightly more expensive a bit out of stone town, very glad I chose here and you will be too!

Great clean, comfortable apartments across from the Tembo hotel; we liked being independent but with the use of the hotel facilities. Super location with friendly, helpful staff. Arranged a walking tour of Stonetown (the guide was called Chief - he was brilliant!) and a spice farm visit via reception - they were both excellent; really good value and both with a private guide.

    The Villa is a jewel. it was saved and restored from a nature that was literally claiming and swallowing it back. The White Villa stands Out from its beautiful green garden but without being intrusive with nature. The garden and the Door Collection absolutely deserve a visit. the room was really well designed and furnished. you have really the feeling to be in a small bubble suspended out of time.
