Friendly staff, organized tours, clean and spacious rooms with AC and fan, breakfast with fresh fruit, centrally located in Stone Town. Great option for a reasonable price.

We loved the central location of the hotel, it was convenient for exploring the city and getting around. the staff were also friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any queries or requests. Another advantage we enjoyed was the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas.

Our romantic escape was marred by a few setbacks. the breakfast provided was not up to par, leaving us disappointed.

New Year's Eve in Stone Town was an amazing experience! The hotel was located right at the center, making it easy to explore the city by foot. I loved the fact that they offered tours, which helped us really get to know the city. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making our stay even better.

The worst of our stay was the slow Wi-Fi connection, which was difficult to use at times, and the noise level of the fan that came with the room. But at the end of the day, these were minor issues that didn't affect our overall experience too much.

The Riverman Hotel offers great value for money. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the attention to detail in the rooms. I had a room with what was probably the world's most comfortable bed, which made my stay incredibly enjoyable. The hotel also provides basic amenities, including air conditioning and a private bathroom. The breakfast included was a nice bonus, and the staff ensured that it was a pleasant dining experience.

All was fine, nothing to complain about.

The location of this hotel is perfect for those who are interested in exploring the bustling market and tourist attractions. Cleanliness and hotel facilities are top-notch.

The hotel is well-located for exploring the city center and attractions, with easy access from the airport. the spacious rooms are clean and tidy with good facilities. the friendly staff provide excellent service, and the bathrooms are well-maintained. Breakfast is satisfactory for a short stay.

The hotel's location in a dark and unlit alley may cause discomfort for some solo travelers.

During my Christmas holiday, the hotel had a good location close to the market and restaurants. the rooms were spacious and air conditioners worked great. the breakfast was basic but good with a range of fresh fruit and juice to choose from.

The hotel had some serious issues. the bathroom was not attached to the room and was far away.

However, the staff was quick to resolve the issue and upgrade us to a room with a private bathroom at no extra cost. They were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel welcome and comfortable. The hotel's central location was a major plus, allowing us to easily explore the city on foot. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay to experience the city's vibrant atmosphere.

The staff was helpful, friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The room and shared bathroom were clean. The central location was convenient and everything was within walking distance. The breakfast was delicious and the owner was kind and helpful.

Nothing to dislike.

Best Aspects

Despite the disappointments, there were a few positive aspects that I appreciated during my stay. the rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. It was a relief to have a pleasant space to relax and rest after a long day of exploring.

My experience at this hotel was far from enjoyable. the location was quite concerning, especially when it was dark outside.
