Pros. The room was comfortable and a good size for me as a solo traveler. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and I was able to book several excursions through the reception desk. I also liked having the cafe available for meals, and the breakfast buffet upstairs.

Cons. The location was fine, but I would have liked to be slightly closer to the center of Stone Town.
