The breakfast was bad. Some of us were lucky and had fresh fruits. In some plates fruits were not fresh at all.

It was clean

Island Paradise Inn is located very close to Stone Town in a less touristy area, a 20 min drive from the airport. It is only 2 streets away from Darajani market, and a 15 min walk away from all other major attractions of Stone Town. Stone town is more touristy and a little white washed if you ask me, so we absolutely adored our stay at Island Paradise Inn. We walked everywhere and it was nice seeing the locals buzzing about, enjoying their meals, playing, shopping. There is a money changer right next door and a super market a few shops to the left (under renovation when I stayed). The rooms were clean and the air conditioning was perfect. They did our rooms everyday which we appreciated. The lighting fixtures and furniture give it a very colonial feel. We enjoyed having a balcony. The size of the bed was perfect for 2 people, we also had a TV to stream some of our favourite shows. Special mention to the manager Mr.Nitin, who ensured we were comfortable and taken care of at all times. He made us feel very welcome. The old man who runs the breakfast at the restaurant was also very nice, he'd always stop and chat with us, make sure we got good rest, had everything we needed. Breakfast menu was varied and not the same everyday. We ordered in room service twice and both times found the food was good. I was pleasantly surprised at the Indian masala tea they made very well. If you're not ordering in, I recommend Polazz grill right opposite for some street food or walking up to Darajani market where there are plenty of good, highly rated local restaurants. Especially Lukmaan, for some authentic Swahili food which we really really loved. If you would like cafes and ocean view restaurants, they're also walkable distance from this hotel.

Brilliant location close to shops and restaurants but also very convenient for the ferry

The rooms offer a western standard with great a/c and clean, comfy beds. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful, very close to everything in stone town, yet tucked away from the busy center

The location was superb for my stay. Staff was service minded and pleasant.

Our Friend room flooded with Water and no support from Management. This happened the first night when we arrived and no plans to move our friend to another room. Saturday night it was so bad that the water was in the passage.

Amazing location. Wonderfully Historical. Fabulously entertaining interior layout of rooms. Very quirky and surprisingly quaint.

The resort was very clean, housekeeping did a very good job. Food wasn’t bad and the staff was very friendly, helpful and always smiling. Thank you Saimon, Hussan and Joyna, seeing your smiling and welcoming faces is golden. Stay blessed

Excellent breakfast! Room and hotel area was clean. Located in the middle of Stone Town. When you learn some routes, you do not get lost. Before that, just take it as an adventure!
