I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its central location in Stone Town and spacious, well-equipped rooms. The friendly staff really made a difference, ensuring my needs were met. However, I didn't feel completely safe walking around after dark, which was a bit concerning. Overall, it provided good value for money, but some improvements could be made in certain areas.

I had a great stay at this hotel in Zanzibar. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the ferry and near the night market and beach. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but they felt a bit small. While the service was mostly friendly and helpful, I did encounter a few hiccups. The breakfast was excellent, served on the rooftop with lovely views, which made for a nice start to the day!
