Location was perfect, close to amenities we needed. Their breakfast was excellent, good quality food. Very friendly staff. The receptionist went to an extent of taking details of our transport company and calling them to ensure all in order! We loved Forodhani
We were satisfied with everything, thank you

Centrally located. Helpful, friendly staff. Wide variety of options for breakfast.
Pool is about 15 foot square so good to get wet and cool off but not for swimming.

Unfortunately, Foradhani park hotel was a complete disappointment. Instead of the 6 rooms in the main building that I bought about two months ago, they forced us to stay in the annex building. This is absolutely shameful and misleading to the customer. I will never choose this hotel again.

We spent one night, but it was very good. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast had a nice variety of items (eggs, pastries, cereals, fruit, etc.). The location is excellent as it is right across from Forodhani Park and you can enter Stone Town proper very easily. (Stone Town proper is a maze, highly recommend a local guide which the hotel can help secure.)

Good location in Forodhani Park near the evening food market. The beds were comfortable. The staff were pleasant and helpful.
Although this is no fault of the hotel, staying near Forodhani Park means you have to deal with constant pressure from people selling tours and guide services. We found it quite tedious after awhile The rooms do not have water views. The top story pool is lovely but there is absolutely no shade.

The staff were helpful and friendly. We had a late flight on the day we checked out and they allowed us to take a shower after our day's activities to freshen up before our flight.
The only thing i can mention is that the aircon remote wasn't working, but at least it went on and was at a comfortable temperature.
