Our Opinion: This magnificently restored hotel nestling on the seafront is the perfect introduction to Zanzibar. Located in the heart of Stone Town it is easy to explore the bustling markets, narrow streets, restaurants and museums from the hotel. The hotel is proud of its high standards of cuisine and tradition of seamless service.
