This hotel exceeded our expectations! All the staff made our stay perfect in all regards. A big thank you to Sherife who really helped us to catch the ferry to Zanzibar. I don’t think we could have managed without her assistance. We’re from Australia and travelling the world on bicycles so very grateful for that. The food was outstanding and catered for my dietary requirements with no problem. Highly recommend staying here!

Took me a bit to figure out hot water, but it was then reliable. Restaurant at hotel served delicious food (Indian). Staff was accommodating when I had made a mistake in my reservation. Road construction on the street made transportation a bit tricky but was able to manage.
