When we arrived, we waited for our room to be ready, they didn’t even ask for our name to confirm the booking. It was a comfortable place close to the airport."

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (3 reviews)
"The property was in a good location to get to Stone Town and the ferry. Booking thru Expedia led to some confusion at checkout as their Expedia payment system was initially declined so we had to go on Expedia chat followed by a phone call to the facility to straighten everything out. Expedia could make that process much less confusing. The included breakfast was a nice treat and while I mostly take the stairs, the elevator was not working for half our stay. Overall though the stay was lovely...
