Great property and as to be expected as part of the Marriott Bonvoy family. Everything worked as expected from “central air conditioning”, WiFi, elevator, TV with major news channels and in-house restaurant with room service. I was thoroughly impressed and this is my new “Go To” hotel while visiting Zanzibar.

This is a lovely hotel with a short walking distance to the main shopping.area. The rooms are nicely appointed but few of them have any views. The rooms are quiet, the staff attentive. I would stay here again
