    In the middle of Stone Town. Very big room with nice deco. Really charming and interesting deco in the whole building, with nice old photographs and sculptures. Good breakfast on the roof top.

    Breakfast location overlooking the town was lovely and the staff were keen to please and accommodate our needs. The rooms were quite ornate but we liked the cultural difference it offered.
