We stayed at the Dhow after our Safari in Tanzania for 2 nights. Our room was quiet and comfortable. We had room 11 on the main floor. 2 small bottles of water were provided each day. Coffee was provided. The fridge worked! Nice to have a cold drink! Had trouble with the kettle, the front desk was prompt to replace. There was a safe in the room but we were told all valuables should be stored at the office as the safe was not working. We did take breakfast at the Dhow. Eggs made to order. Cereal, yogurt fruit and toast, some sausage. We also had lunch there the day we checked in. A grilled sandwich. The pool was refreshing. It was very hot and humid for us while we were there Feb 2024. There is a sign, the pool is deep. For those that aren't strong swimmers be aware it is 3 meters deep in the main part of the pool. There is a great view of the city and harbour from the top floor of the building and interesting artifacts sprinkled throughout the floors be sure to take some time to check it out. We did notice other tours stopping in at the Dhow because of its historical significance. As with most places there is a tip box at the front desk and tips are shared among all staff. The location was convenient to walk to sights, shopping, market and restaurants. We did use trip advisor to book a private tour of stone town which we enjoyed and felt was well worth it. It included sights at the harbour, Slave market and fish meat and spice market.
