The building and location are great. The view and sunset are amazing. The service, comfort and bathroom installations are not as good. In our first night there was a water pump going off and making noise every hour or so, making our sleep less than great. When showering, water would go up to our ankles almost, as the plug hole didn’t provide enough throughput. I asked for both things to be fixed and in the evening no one knew if they had been fixed or not. After some insistence and phone calls we heard the everything was fixed. Later, we found that only the pump was fixed.

Hotel is situated right in the heart of stone town, close to everything. Felt very safe. The hotel had a boutiquey feel to it. Rooms were lovely, space to hang out and unwind was nice. Good food options if you don’t want to go out

Location close to many things. Location is off the regular streets. Roof top restaurant was nice and view was great. Some simple wire to keep the crows away would be nice! Room does need TVs but didn’t miss it. Wi-Fi signal needs improvement. Spa treatment was nice but location is an issue with echo and noise.

Great location, spacious room and faultless hospitality

10/10

Nice and clean hotel in a nice location. The pool and the restaurant are great. On the downside - it is hard to find when arriving by car as there is no indication where the hotel is from the street and have to walk a narrow alley from the street to the hotel entrance. Some clear signage visible from the street would greatly help.

Altough the ad clearly states breakfast included, it was not breakfast included. We could prove how the ad states breakfast included the receptionist just told us «it’s not her fault, so it’s not her problem». Just shocked at how horrible the service was. If you do eat breakfast there, beware of the birds, they might not let you finish the breakfast before they try to steal everything. Didn’t get the room we booked either, and they clearly have a negative attitude towards certain tourists. The beds by the pool are broken, and it’s not always cleaned. Honestly can’t recommend staying here.

LOVELY ROOFTOP DINING AREA

10/10

I loved the botanical atmosphere of this hotel. I had a massive double room on the ground floor surrounded by plants which made it magical!! Pool area was relaxing. My favourite was the rooftop restaurant which had beautiful views of the seafront. I would definitely come back here. The location was very central to exploring Stone Town.

6/10

Booked superior seaview room and seaview window is at toilet which is higher than normal people eye level. Double check if breakfast is included in the booking in hotels.com as the website offer two breakfast option with different price which is a bit confusing. Tried to contact hotel to confirm via booking website and official hotel email address a few time but no luck.

This property itself was beautiful. Our room had two stories, and our room upstairs opened up to the restaurant, and the beautiful rooftop view. The staff here were so nice and helped us to plan everything we wanted to do. Also, the location of this place is very convenient, very close and walkable distance to the night food market, and different historic locations in Stonetown. We loved our stay here and will definitely go back. Only complaint we had was that the drain in the shower went down very slow and the bathroom would flood. The free breakfast was also very delicious.

Staff welcoming and attentive. Hotel rooms large clean and comfortable. Turn down service provided everynight which included mosquito nets and repellant. No lift in the property but the staff carried our luggage and allowed me to keep my childs pram down in reception. Every meal we had in the restaurant was delcious. The hotel is very close to the main road and the waterfront. The night market is a 2 minute walk

I liked the ambiance of the property. I loved my room, although I thought I had booked a room with a balcony. My room was great and I loved the AC. After wandering around the streets of Stonetown, the AC was refreshing. The rooftop dining area and views were great. The staff were helpful and friendly. Good location.

Very nice hotel with really nice staff and great location. No TV but if you can watch TV via wifi on your phone it is not an issue.

We were pleasantly suprised with our stay at seyyida! If you’re thinking of booking … don’t hesitate ! We had the most memorable stay! The location is just off the Main Street off the beach - a quick walk from the ferry terminal and the night market. Stone town can feel quite intimidating to navigate upon arrival- we loved and took comfort knowing as long as we could find the ocean we could find our hotel. The staff was pleasant and helpful. They provided a map of stone town and assistance with things to do. The hotel is stunning. The pictures online will never do it justice! The courtyard and pool are works of art. Breakfast every morning was quick fresh and delicious. Please ensure you take the time to view the sunset on the rooftop patio-breathtaking ! The staff allowed us to store our luggage free of charge upon check out and use the pool until our time to leave. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! Thank you for a lovely safe and memorable stay!

The receptionist on arrival was not welcoming. He did the necessary but seemed bothered by our arrival. The room was not set up as planned so we had to change room. The new room had no WiFi.

Location is superb, it is a clean and very well managed property, staff are friendly and service oriented and their manager 'Maureen' is very capable and professional..pleasure to do business with. what can be improved is more wheel chair friendliness to be introduced and somesort of a lift or elevator even if a tight/small external one so people with disabilities can enjoy your roof top restaurant and terrace and enjoy its breath taking views that are so memorable and among your best property assets or attractions.
