We booked the set course dinner on the rooftop restaurant in time for sunset. It was a beautiful setting to enjoy a wonderful meal, served by attentive staff. The food was a fusion of Swahili and Persian food. A faultless experience. Would highly recommend.

What an amazing experience we had! I had seen this place while planing our trip to Zanzibar and thought it’d be nice to hop on a rooftop one night. It exceeded our expectations, we met a whole bunch of nice people all traveling like us and bonded while the staff took great care of us and live music was being played. We went at 6pm for drinks and sunset and took great photos. Drinks were simple and really good. Dinner starts promptly at 7pm, the staff explained us the dinner and it was a 3 courses meal with lots of variety and traditional food to try. Food is delicious!! During dinner a band plays and entertains so you get to hear traditional songs and dance with them. Not intrusive and a pleasure to hear. We loved it. We laughed, we ate, we shared, we danced, it was such a great night and I strongly recommend to visit!

Enjoyed the food and the view! A very nice Swahili style restaurant. The food was beautiful and definitely worth the steps to climb to get there! I chose the sitting on the floor style rather than a table and again enjoyed the experience! Loved it

Beautiful old building with wonderfully decorated and furnished rooms. We stayed in 'Seyyed' Lovely breakfast in small open courtyard and supper on top of the building ( second tallest in Stone Town) in the restaurant with perfect panoramic views of entire town and sea. Food was first class in quality, presentation and service with live music too. Cannot fault the experience.

This toproof restaurant is located in stone town and you definitely need a reservation. Dinner starts at 7.00 pm for all guests. You have the choice between swahili seating on the ground in cushions or at the table. The view is perfect for the sundowner before dinner! Service and food were great, the live music was rather horrible because the female singers were so bad. But that was more funny than ennoying! We had a wonderful evening!

We spent three nights in the West room, the perfect culmination to an unforgettable trip to Tanzania. What I loved: The team - all so very friendly and welcoming ＜3 The location - a few minutes from the waterfront, the market, etc. Our room: At the top of the hotel with a small balcony, you can lie in bed and look out across roof tops to the sea. The dark wood lattice panels letting in the breeze. Listening to the rain on the rooftop. The cooling fan over the bed. The bed! it’s very comfy and you feel to be in a fairytale though You might need the step to get up onto it. Other aspects: The bath with overhead shower is in the room so you need to be comfortable with your partner. As anywhere in Stone Town, the calls to prayer at 5am ensure that you won’t miss a day ;) I’d go back tomorrow!

This quaint hotel is definitely something from the past, it is beautifully decorated from a bygone era. It's wooden staircase is not for the faint hearted but the view from the top floor bedrooms are amazing.. You can see the harbour and over Stone town. The staff are fantastic spend a few days and get lost in Stone Town. We loved it

Another wonderful stay. Very central and staff extremely helpful. The Swahili style roof terrace is the highest in Stone town and having lunch there was a highlight. Like other old buildings on Zanzibar there is no lift but the stairs adds to the charm.
