    The hotel had all the facilities that we required for a hassle-free stay. The staff was welcoming and made all efforts to make us feel comfortable. We enjoyed the location of the hotel, which was walking distance from the beach and market. The room offered us a beautiful view of the sunrise, and the breakfast served was filling and delicious.

    There was no air conditioning, and although there was only us in the room, there was only a single fan available. Hence, the nights turned out hot and sweaty which made it challenging to sleep.

    Stone Town was around 5 minutes walk away. Odyssey, situated very close to the venue was certainly an experience to remember. Everything here met expectations. The apartment had free WiFi: D

    The hotel had a great location near the beach, which meant we could easily enjoy a romantic stroll along the shore. the room was clean and had a cozy atmosphere, which was perfect for our romantic escape. they offered us a complimentary welcome drink upon arrival, which was a nice touch.

    Our experience was dampened by poor communication from the staff. We struggled to communicate due to the language barrier, which made our check-in process complicated and frustrating.

The hotel's attention to detail was outstanding, from the clean and well-maintained rooms to the wonderful location right by the historical center.

    All was perfect, no complaints whatsoever.
