    Truly enjoyed this charming hotel, easy to find. The room met my needs, spacious with 2 double beds. There were climate control, a seating area, and a work desk if needed. It had a great and good location close enough to Stonetown hotspots, the beach, and all the main sights.

    I had a really nice stay at Balcony House in Zanzibar for 3 nights. The staff was incredible, and the rooms were beautiful. The location was very central, close to the sea, and within walking distance from Stone Town.

    I stayed at this hotel for a trip, and it was a very nice stay. The venue was a relaxing base for enjoying a fairly nice area, near Stonetown hotspots like the pier. Pretty friendly and very helpful people were working here.

    Our room here had everything we needed - AC, a cozy seating area, and a spot to sit and work. The bed was like sleeping on a fluffy cloud ☁️, and the bathroom was sparkling clean.

    The hotel's location was very close to the beach, with easy access to the nightlife in Stonetown and other areas of interest. I stopped by Travellers Cafe for some coffee and treats, which is conveniently located next to the hotel, and I highly recommend it.

    The location was UNBEATABLE, just a short walk away from Forodhani Park. Btw, went to city center, located a 10-15 minute walking distance from the hotel.

    The location is excellent, making it easy to find and accessible for disabled individuals. The spacious and clean rooms are suitable for disabled guests. The common bathroom is well-maintained and kept clean. The owners are friendly and offer helpful tips and advice. They even assisted with transportation to the bus station, providing directions to Jambiani. The proximity to the city center allows for easy access to restaurants, the beach, and the market. The guest house offers a picturesque balcony, a kitchenette, and a washing machine for convenience. There is also a bakery nearby for breakfast options. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. The sea view from the room and rooftop terrace is amazing, especially during sunset. The included breakfast is nice.

    Felt welcomed, no complaints.

    The hotel had spacious and airy communal spaces and a clean balcony area. The staff, especially Mudy, were extremely helpful and accommodating, assisting with tour arrangements and transportation at reasonable prices. The location was great, in the city center, with a beautiful sea view from the rooms and rooftop terrace. The breakfast provided was also enjoyable.

    Felt completely welcomed and had no complaints whatsoever.
