This property is right by the ferry making it the most convenient choice one could make. The rooftop terrace offers great sunset views and the restaurant on the terrace serves tasty Indian cuisine that is top notch. The lobby has a fountain that id want in my own home. I love the paintings on each floor the pool area is filled with greenery and has lots of space. Id highly reccomend this property to anyone visting Zanzibar

Good place to stay in Stone town. About 10 min walk from "the main events". Felt safe and comfortable, good palace for the price, also the pool was nice. Did not try the restaurant at the top, but good food was close by as well. Would stay again

Quick stay in central Stone Town

Great location for central Stone Town, helpful & friendly staff, very clean. Issues: high AC noise & problem with using the remote control to get temp settings right; TV set to subscription channels as default - no obvious free channels; no water in room on arrival, breakfast buffet not close to being laid out at 07:30 open; no bar

The room is clean, but the lift needs to be upgraded. Unfortunately, I couldn't get something to eat at 11 pm when I arrived because the hotel restaurant usually closes earlier.
