"We stayed in the Mercury room. The room was fine. The windows are coloured glass with no window coverings so it gets bright when the sun comes up. The walls are thin so you can hear outside noise but it’s not loud. Good air conditioning, fan and there was a mosquito net. There is a sort of mothball smell but that’s likely from bug spray. Staff were nice and courteous. The breakfast was decent and there was a nice view of the Old Fort. The hotel is located in a main tourist shopping area."

"The Emerson Spice Hotel is a little gem in the heart of Stone Town. Russell and the team are so welcoming and kind, especially to my son, who was amazed that we were staying in such a nice property, a former spice warehouse. They gave useful tips and advice on tours, arranged them for us so that we were able to see everything in the area from the history of where we were, to the Jozani forest and surrounding areas, as well as the spice farms nearby. A thoroughly lovely place run by thoroughly decent people. Would love to stay there again."
