Nice and clean hotel. Loved the terrace restaurant. The food was good and breakfast had lots of choices. It was easy to find our way to the melacon. There is a ATM close by which is convenient. You could make arrangements for trips right in the hotel. We didn't use it, bit there is a very nice pool at the hotel. They were eager to please us in every way. Nice stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Property location is nice. Very old and smells of mildew. The pool is the size a jacuzzi, no seats around the baby splash pool. I had no hot water and the tv did not a connect. The free internet is null and void. Connectivity to the internet was poor for both new gets that I stay at Spice Palace. Heed this warning and stay elsewhere. The breakfast served each morning was horribly!

Excellent location in Stone Town. Very nice room. The dining was reasonably good, although at times just a bit slow. The staffing and service at the lobby coffee bar was very poor, with apparent staff disinterest -- this is the only aspect of this hotel which could use some more attention, Otherwise, highly recommended.

A hidden gem among the hustle and bustle of Stone Town. Great location and friendly staff, though quite noisy.

Tired and misleading
The hotel is very tired. The rooms were very tired, the mosquito nets were grey with neglect and had holes in them, defeating their purpose. The shower in the bathroom had cracked tiles and wholes in the door. You also needed to be a contortionist to sit on the toilet, and all this was in what is described as a superior suite. They claim to have happy hour on beer and cocktails between 4 and 7 every day (advertised in the bar) but when you try to take advantage of this they use all sorts of excuses to give you any form of happy hour discount. When I tried to raise this with the management they didn’t even have the decency to respond to my email. Either they need to remove the happy hour sign and references to happy hour or honour it. The food was average at best. Do not use their airport shuttle as the charge double the going rate and do not get you as close to the hotel as they possibly could do. This is all a great shame as the hotel does have great potential due to location. All it requires is some freshening up.
