    The location was UNBEATABLE, just a short walk away from Forodhani Park. Btw, went to city center, located a 10-15 minute walking distance from the hotel.

    Truly enjoyed this charming hotel, easy to find. The room met my needs, spacious with 2 double beds. There were climate control, a seating area, and a work desk if needed. It had a great and good location close enough to Stonetown hotspots, the beach, and all the main sights.

    I stayed at this hotel for a trip, and it was a very nice stay. The venue was a relaxing base for enjoying a fairly nice area, near Stonetown hotspots like the pier. Pretty friendly and very helpful people were working here.

    Our room here had everything we needed - AC, a cozy seating area, and a spot to sit and work. The bed was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud ☁️, and the bathroom was sparkling clean.

    The hotel's location was very close to the beach, with easy access to the nightlife in Stonetown and other areas of interest. I stopped by Travellers Cafe for some coffee and treats, which is conveniently located next to the hotel, and I highly recommend it.
