Il proprietario è una persona splendida. Il personale eccellente. Tutti molto gentili e simpatici. Ti fanno sentire come in famiglia. La struttura è molto ben ubicata. A due passi dal mercato e dal mare. La raccomando decisamente.

We used Stone Town as a home base to explore Zanzibar, and we would highly recommend it since there are a lot of restaurants and things to do while the beaches are still only a one hour ride away and make for a nice day trip. Oh yeah - about the hotel...the staff was extremely friendly, and it is a safe environment with clean rooms. The pizza is a hidden gem - it is truly amazing as the hotel is owned by an Italian couple. There are several sitting areas including a decent rooftop with a nice breeze flowing during the hot tropical days. They even watched our luggage after checkout because of a late afternoon flight. We would highly recommend the hotel for couples, families, and medium sized groups.

Kort verbleven in dit mooie Ryad-achtige hotel/restaurant in Stonetown. Verzorgde en mooi ingerichte kamer die aan alle verwachtingen voldeed. Het restaurant is meer dan uitstekend: een van de beste keukens van Zanzibar - tegen zeer schappelijke prijzen. De staf en eigenaars zijn vriendelijk en gastvrij.

Tolles Ambiente, schöne Dachterrasse(n), gut ausgestattete Bar (außer in der Peak Season), sehr gute und guenstige Spiced Eistees und super Essen. Das Restaurant ist sehr gut und gut besucht, die vier Zimmer sind recht verschieden und verschieden groß, sehr sauber und alles ist mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wir waren leider viel zu kurz da, haben uns sehr wohlgefuehlt und würden das House of Spices bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen.

We checked in here for one night before heading back to europe. The owners and staff were extremely helpful and friendly, booking us a cheap taxi to the airport very early the next morning and even providing a simple breakfast for 5 in the morning on a specially laid table outside our room. The restaurant is excellent and situated in a nice roof terrace. The bar is small but comfortable, friendly and reasonably priced - also on a roof terrace. The place also has gorgeous cats.

迷路の中にあるので道迷いに注意。イスラムの町なので酒類は、街中では買えませんが、ホテルでは飲めます。タオル以外にアメニティはありません。Wifiもつながりにくいです。蚊が多いので対策した方が宜しいでしょう。

The owner, an Italian couple, styled and rehabilitated the old actually 2 old traditional Zansibar houses in the old way. Nice to see and look at but on the costs of comfort (small steep stairs,dark rooms). The rooms are different, some quite spacy and nice, some very small, nearly no place to place the lugage. Couple very helpful and supportive. Nice very frequented restaurant on the roof. Breakfast ok. Very clean. Situated in the middle of the "medina" of Stone town, in walking distance to all attractions. On the other side that means during day time you hear the noice of the narrow streets, but at night it is quite. On the negative side there is to mention the weak light (not enough to read a book), the weak internet, also only on the roof avaiable and that no very stable, no water bucket, when tape water cuts during the night. People with allergy against cats should avoid the place.

Das Hotel liegt mitten in den engen Gassen von Stonetown. Da man hier mitten im Geschehen ist, ist es nicht die ruhigste Lage. Da keine echten Fenster (wie dort üblich) eingebaut sind, hört man sämtliche Geräusche von draußen. Für Menschen mit leichten/ unruhigen Schlaf nicht unbedingt geeignet. Ansonsten aber sehr nette Besitzer, freundliche Angestellte und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Zimmer.
