“This hotel struck me as a solid choice in Stone Town; the staff earn high praise, and the location places you directly in the action. I particularly appreciate the variety in the breakfast offerings, a detail that often elevates a stay. For those prioritising value and a central base, it certainly warrants consideration, though light sleepers may want to request a higher floor.”

helpful staffgreat recommendationhard bedstained sheet

The staff was nice (very helpful, indeed!). They helped us book everything from taxis to spas and gave great recommendations. Our room was for four people and it provided plenty of space.

The breakfast options were not so many. The bed was very hard and the sheets had some stains and were not changed. I did notice the drains in the bathroom had a bad smell.

The location was quite central. the room looked decent enough initially. however, the bathroom was a letdown. The sink and toilet seemed too close together. also, a persistent unpleasant smell lingered there. i had hoped for a quieter stay but the noise was constant. it's not what i expected.
