This is an excellent hotel, with really great staff. The location is superb, easy walking distance to all the sites. The rooms are beautiful and rustic, with a huge bathroom. I will re-emphasise the great staff; they made every effort to make our family stay comfortable, especially the lady manager who works during the day ( I don't have her name unfortunately - but she was very kind and helpful). We will stay here on our next trip.

The hotel is in a great location, but nothing like the pictures shown on the site and their webpage, now very run down, no palms outsde just a waterbottle catching water from an A/C and two women from the massage parlour next door with thier mop buckets and brooms, sitting on the pavemet all day. Check in time was 2.00pm, we arrived at 10am dropped our bags at reception and said we would be back to check in after 2.00pm, receptionist said after you pay, even though we had paid in full more than a week before by bank transfer followed by phone calls to confirm and the swift copy sent to thier email and Whats App. Arrived back at 2.15pm and given the key to room 102, went upstairs, the room had not been touched since the previous guests, even the babies cot was still there, offered room 103, same story, room 101 was OK as it.had not been occupied the night before, we accepted this one. Room OK, bed comfortable, howver the poor drainage in the shower and the door to the shower and toilet could not be closed was unacceptabe, I had read a review from 2025 that had complained about the same problem. I could goon, especialy slackness in room cleaning, usualy after 2.00pm, we gave up eaiting on one day of a 2 day stay. Location great, opposite Hyatt and Serena and Nele square is lovely with easy access to everything in Stonetown, didn't see a swimming pool, or the second resteraunt, breakfast was OK, dining room very average and don't even look in the kitchen. Lovely hotel, fantastic location, poor ownership, maintenance and management.

I had a wonderful stay at Beyt al Salaam. The service was excellent from the moment I arrived. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well prepared. I especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful design of the hotel. The location is perfect — close to important attractions and very convenient for visitors. Breakfast and meals were fresh and delicious, and the overall hospitality was outstanding. I truly felt welcomed and well taken care of during my stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. I would definitely stay here again

The staff were truly amazing and very helpful! The rooms were extremely clean and paid attention to detail too. I highly recommend. Everything is in a walkable distance and great value for money. There also wasn’t any noise at all and the amenities were all easily accessible.

I would not recommend, we did not have a good experience here and I am not one to usually do a bad review! We first had to move rooms because the AC didn’t work, but the photos were not like the photos online atall, the hotel needs updating completely and a big clean. We felt dirty here and not worth the money that we paid. The customer service was awful too. We ended up staying 1 night but moving hotel for the next night in Stone Town. Only good thing is the location, very central. It looks like a lot of the reviews here are for the restaurant & not the hotel.

I’m not sure what exactly was renovated in this hotel — it still feels completely rundown. The furniture is old and outdated; while the style seems to aim for a rustic look, there are limits to how far that can go. I’ve stayed here several times, and not once has the air conditioning worked properly. There are huge gaps under every door, which makes every sound from the ground floor perfectly audible even on higher floors. The location is very noisy, and with the old windows, it feels like I’m sleeping right on the street — every car, motorcycle, and loud conversation can be heard clearly inside the room. Some rooms are full of mosquitoes, which suggests no measures were taken to address that problem. The staff, although present, tend to be quite noisy and inattentive, especially during breakfast, which is very limited in choice. The only positive aspect is the location, but unfortunately, it doesn’t make up for the poor comfort and lack of maintenance. I will not be staying here again.

We stayed one night at Beyt Al Salaam and loved its central location in Stone Town. Markets, restaurants, and major attractions are all within walking distance. The hotel has an antique charm with traditional interiors and a warm, welcoming staff. A lovely blend of heritage and hospitality.
