Rashid and Kelvin were the absolute best hosts! So nice I came back twice. Emerald Palm is the home away from home. Staff are warm and friendly and it's in a great location in Stone Town. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Per fortuna abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel solo una notte. Il bagno in camera non aveva la porta, il condizionatore arrivava al massimo a 28 gradi. L’unica nota positiva è lo staff: incredibilmente gentile e disponibile. Purtroppo avendo un check out la notte, ci era stata promessa una colazione da portar via ma non ci è stata data.

Eigentlich schönes kleines Hotel, aber leider auch für sansibarische Verhältnisse in schlechtem Zustand. Schon der Eingangsbereich schreckt ab, das Zimmer war dann in Ordnung. Personal nett, alles sauber, Frühstück beim Inder gegenüber in Ordnung.
