Fri 25 Jul A hidden gem in Stone Town + We had a great stay at Asmini Palace. The staff were curious, attentive, and quite helpful. The rooms were large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. This is a hidden gem in Stone Town, I highly recommend it.

Tue 8 Apr Very good + The breakfast was cooked to order. I believe that we were the only guests staying there at the time, though it was low-season. The location is excellent near Forodhani Park. − The lift wasn't working and the room didn't have a balcony, although we were expecting one.
