Good relaxing stay.

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.

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!

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.

It was disappointing to find my sheets not clean. There appeared to be blood and dirt marks on the sheets. When showing to staff, he refused to change the linen. This left me to spend my only night on the property sleeping on soiled bedding. He also packed juices, with lids and straws holes in a bag without warning us. This juice spilled all over ruining my laptop. They also tossed my friends retainer, which was left in the room. They would do good to pay better attention to details for the benefit of their guests.

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 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.
