    spacious room
    rooftop pool
    street noise

    I really enjoyed my stay here, especially the spacious room and the large balcony that provided a perfect spot to relax. The rooftop pool was great for unwinding after a long day, and I also appreciated the lounge area for some entertainment. One small downside was the street noise, but it didn’t spoil my overall experience. 😊

    good stay , but room for improvement

    The location of the hotel is excellent, providing easy access to local attractions. I appreciated the spacious room, which allowed my family to feel comfortable during our short stay. The city view from our balcony was spectacular, adding to our overall experience.

    wifi issues
    pool area

    Wifi is consistently unreliable, resulting in frequent disconnections!!! The pool area lacks sufficient sunbeds and shade, leaving little room to relax comfortably on sunny days!!! Old and rough sheets detract from the overall stay!!!

    clean room
    great air conditioning
    nice rooftop area
    old furniture
    lack of maintenance

    The Standard Twin Room was clean and comfy with good air conditioning, which I really appreciated during the hot days. The rooftop area is a real highlight. it has a nice view and a pool for some chill time. Room service was top-notch, and the staff were super helpful. However, I wish the furniture was a bit newer and more maintenance had been done on the amenities.

    unbeatable location
    spacious balcony
    refreshing rooftop pool

    The location is simply unbeatable, just steps away from the old fort and local nightlife. My room had a spacious balcony that offered a lovely view, and the rooftop pool provided a refreshing escape with mesmerizing vistas of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean. Plus, the breakfast was a delicious mix of local and international fare that kept me fueled for my sightseeing adventures!

    spacious room
    cozy balcony
    simple breakfast
    limited variety

    Ideal location for exploring Stone Town

    I loved how close everything was. the old fort and night markets were just a short stroll away, making evening exploration super easy. The room was spacious with effective air conditioning, perfect for the humid climate, and I enjoyed my time on the cozy balcony. However, the breakfast felt a bit simple and could use some variety.

    fantastic location
    spacious room
    great breakfast
    limited bathroom space
    small pool

    The location of Forodhani Park Hotel is fantastic, just steps from the waterfront and many attractions in Stone Town. My room was spacious and comfortable, featuring effective air conditioning and a lovely balcony with a nice view. The breakfast offered a great variety that kept me energized for my explorations.

    The bathroom could use more counter space.
