    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Zanzibar! the value for money was excellent - I got a great deal on my room without a private bathroom. Secondly, the hotel's location on the main street of Stone Town was perfect. I was able to walk to many attractions and explore the area easily. Additionally, the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. They made my stay even more enjoyable. Lastly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and I was pleased to find that my room had air conditioning, which was a great relief in the hot weather. I highly recommend this hotel for budget travelers looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay in Zanzibar.

    No improvements necessary, everything was great!

    Great location with easy access to shops and restaurants. Our room was clean and had good air conditioning. We enjoyed the included breakfast which had a variety of options and amazing views from the rooftop restaurant.

    Our shower had low water pressure which made for a frustrating experience. there was significant noise coming from the neighboring kitchen late at night which disrupted our sleep.

    This hotel offers great value for money, especially considering its prime location on the main street of Stone Town. The staff are attentive and the basic amenities in the rooms, including air conditioning and a bathroom, provided a comfortable stay. The breakfast, although with limited options for vegetarians, was still satisfying.

    No significant issues, everything was satisfactory.

    We loved the hotel's central location in the heart of this historic city. Everything, including the night markets and restaurants, was within walking distance. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the lockers behind reception were very handy. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and shared bathroom facilities.

    Don't have any issues at all.
