We were recommended to visit this hotel. WOW!!! How terrible. The meals were of very poor quality, the service was so incredibly slow and we were the only three people there! Don't waste your time! Perhaps drinks in the evening, but don't waste your time with the poor food and service. You can only hear "soon" so many times in... More

We didn't stay at the hotel, but came here for sundowners and dinner on the rooftop terrace (Sunset bar). The view is great, perfect spot to unwind with a cocktail at the end of the day. Get a spot right at the edge of the balcony so you can have uninterrupted view and take photos without hassling other guests.The food... More

Came for an afternoon beer but it was pretty much the hottest place in town! Sweating just sat down. Open to the sea but obviously the breeze was the other way! Fans ineffectual. Couldn't wait to leave. Its old and quaint. Some might say tatty and in need of some love. Service is disinterested at best. Perhaps sunset is better... More

Went here for lunch on a day trip to Stone Town. We ate in the Sunset Bar, which had a few other tables eating at the same time. We had been up to the restaurant but decided not to stay there as it was completely empty and felt a bit awkward. We ordered drinks, and then food when the menus... More

I had read about this place in the lonely planet (2009) so my friend and I thought that we would give it a go for a drink during the sunset. Service was fine, view was great but there was no luck in viewing the sunset with the hordes of people coming in for a 5 min sunset picture, unless of... More

A group of 16 of us had made a reservation to have dinner at the roof top restaurant of the hotel. The set up was beautiful, we never thought we would have a terrible time and experience. The waitress took ages to take the orders, even though it was only us at the restaurant. We had to wait an hour... More

Nice for the view and a drink from the bar but don't eat here. We were told the restaurant was closed and offered the same menu. It all looked great but after waiting over one hour , with the waiter returning numerous times to check on our order, the food arrived. The orders were mixed up, the portions were minuscule... More

A recent visit with a small group of professionals was an unforgettable (in the worst sense) experience. First, the food in the restaurant was very poor quality and overpriced. They seemed to be out of several items, and substituted other items without informing the person who had ordered the particular item. Then there was a grand fandango trying to pay... More

This place should be the scene of a fly on the wall documentary it is so laughable. The building is beautiful and has history, it must have, guides freely walk in with their entourage take picks and walk out, (that's the kind of security you get), but it is run into the ground and it isn't going to get any...
