    The location was UNBEATABLE, just a short walk away from Forodhani Park. Btw, went to city center, located a 10-15 minute walking distance from the hotel.

    Truly enjoyed this charming hotel, easy to find. The room met my needs, spacious with 2 double beds. There were climate control, a seating area, and a work desk if needed. It had a great and good location close enough to Stonetown hotspots, the beach, and all the main sights.

    I had a really nice stay at Balcony House in Zanzibar for 3 nights. The staff was incredible, and the rooms were beautiful. The location was very central, close to the sea, and within walking distance from Stone Town.
