Fri 23 Oct + La localisation − To much noisy in the outside
Antonella, OM · Solo1.0
Fri 24 Jul Very bad. + Room with a window impossible to open. Always dark. Bathroom…barely acceptable. I am very disappointed. One good word for the staff, Geltrude, Ramona and Aziza, very kind. But the hotel is not un hotel. May be un hostel? Noisy during the night…it’s the... − All. Overall the fake presentation on line.

Fri 19 Jun + Receptionist lady, Getrude was very kind and friendly. Although we missed our free breakfast she offered us a packed breakfast to eat later. This was an excellent gesture and the breakfast was wholesome and delicious. − The place was noisy at night.

Mon 23 Mar + The location is very close to the Port making it very convenient for those travelling by ferry. The location is also literally in Stone Town so it is so conveniently placed.

Mon 9 Feb it was good value for money + The double room is very nice, well decorated, spacious. It feels nice and value for money. − the twin room felt like a hostel experience 2.0 - very narrow, no window. we didnt anticipate that we'd stay at the room much, so the basic twin setup was ok. but if I had to pick again, I'd book...
Paul, NL · Family6.0
Mon 19 Jan + No nonsens hotel. Wifi Okay. De outside door is locked so the hotel feels save. We walked in less than 10 minutes to the ferry terminal. − It would be nice when someone can pick guests up from de main street. For our taxidrive the hotel was difficult to find. The accommodation is basic. For the price it could offer more quality.

Fri 5 Dec + Room appearance − they give me a room near to reception no comfortability
Yoliswa, South Africa · Couple1.0
Fri 21 Nov I did not like the place and the location is far from pick up/ drop off zone.its so difficult even to find it the lo + Nothing I liked to be honest. The property was so scary doors were locked and no windows were opening for fresh air . It felt more like jail − The fact that the place is not entirely clean. When walking barefoot in the room you can feel the dirt underfoot 😔
