Tue 25 Aug + Very good location to discover Stone Town, nice staff and good facilities − Impossibility to sleep later than 4:30 am due to chickens (roosters) singing without stopping from 4:30 until the morning.; I informed the hotel reception, but they could not change me to another room

Wolfgang, Indonesia · Solo4.0
Thu 13 Aug − The whole place feels pretty overpriced for what you are getting, but then again so does all of Stone Town during the high tourist season. The room felt quite stuffy, with no ventilation since...
