The staff was friendly and accommodating. Rooms were spacious, clean and culturally intriguing. Rooftop breakfasts were very nice. Located in the heart of Stone Town, the hotel was well situated for walking tours of historic sites, shopping, and access to the scenic harbor. Airport shuttles and island tours were set up nicely through the front desk.

A very good mid-range hotel

We were only there for 2 nights, but were well looked after by the staff. It is very central, but NOT where it is shown on hotel.com's website. please use Google to see where it really is. This was clearly pointed out by me to hotels.com, but their call centre agent was incapable of resolving this. Our room was totally acceptable for a mid-range hotel. Breakfast is simple and is served in a roof-top restaurant. it's nothing spectacular, but we'd definitely stay again.

Nice basic hotel close to the ferry port

We were given cold fresh juice when we arrived and staff were really helpful when we were checking in, and with any questions we had during our stay. Rooms were comfortable with ac, fridge, bottled water, tea and coffee, tv, mosquito nets. We had lunch in the rooftop restaurant, which was all good (cheeseburger, puzza, calamari). Breakfast was also good, and they allowed us to check out late and helped carry our bags to the ferry. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Consigliato!

Albergo molto centrale, a 10 minuti a piedi si raggiunge qualsiasi zona di stone town, personale cortese, stanze ampie e pulite. La colazione al tavolo (no buffet) è ricca e completa, mentre il ristorante non lo abbiamo potuto provare perchè era chiuso per ben tre sere di fila (servizio discutibile). Wifi accettabile. Consigliato!

Nice hotel, well located near the sea front and close to ferry yet only 10 mins walk from main tourist strip. Can be confusing to find as it's marked in the wrong place in Google maps. Staff are really nice and accommodating. Clean, spacious room with good air con and nice breakfast on the roof terrace. Overall very good hotel!

Nice hotel in the middle of Stone Town

We stayed for 3 nights with our two kids (4 and 7) in Asmini Palace and we liked it very much. The room was very clean and we had two big beds with mosquito nets. The breakfast was very good and all the staff were extremely friendly and warmhearted. It´s very close to the House of Wonders and in just a few minutes you are in the hustle and bustle of Stone Town. The roof top terrace is nice as well.

Good location. No frills, satisfactory stay.

No frills but very acceptable. We used it for one night before departing for the coast and would probably have wanted a few more comforts if staying longer. Had a family room and there were two double beds and didn't feel cramped. Really good location for exploring StoneTown. $15 taxi from airport.
