Beautiful hotel in great location!

Pros: The room, the food, the service.
Cons: To be truly honest.... nothing.
Location: The hotel is located in the heart of Stone Town; a beautiful historic. It's also near the beach (2 minute walk), shops and restaurants.
We loved our stay at Double Tree Hilton. We have stayed in hotels all around the world and this was one of the best for the price we paid. We could not fault it in any way.
