Cons:

The pictures on booking.com are far from the reality of the hotels current state & are definitely miss leading.

I managed but won’t stay there again. No water was really unacceptable.
Pros:

The location was good and easy to find.

Cons:

There was no water for almost the entire time and there was no breakfast available, as advertised.

Dont Attention...il fait très chaud

C'est nul

Pros:

We booked 2 Double Bed rooms at Stonetown View Hotel but on arrival we were told that no room is available. So we were asked to move to another hotel names The Island Stonetown Hotel and offered complementary breakfast. The hotel was stinky, fridges not working, AC dripping water, Bulbs not wrking, No Towel or Toiletry. After changing 3 rooms, we had to fit in one double bed and one single bed room. Wifi was not working at nights. We were given breakfast timings from 6-10am, but there was no staff in kitchen even at 7am and we had to leave without breakfast both days..

Cons:

I made a booking and money was taken from my account without my permission, even though it stated that payment would only be made at the property. It has been a month and I haven’t received a refund. They are scammers, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I would not recommend it at all
Pros:

Staff was nice but their booking system was not working so it took some time to find a room.

Cons:

Really dirty, towel where yellow. There was moldy on the whole bathroom. Marks everywhere on the bedroom walls. Not clean at all. I would not recommend it to anyone. Localisation was good.

Si on cherche un endroit juste pour y dormir, c’est parfait!
Pros:

Le prix, imbattable, avec une situation facile d’accès et idéalement placé vers le souk.

Cons:

L’hôtel est un peu… décrépi. Mais la clim fonctionne, il y a tout ce qu’il faut, et pour le prix, on peut pas attendre plus !
