Bien pour découvrir Stone Town.
Pros:

L’emplacement. Le petit déjeuner copieux et varié.

Cons:

Le manque d’information car le taxi nous a déposé à l’autre hôtel Shoki Shoki, on a dû marcher et essayer de se repérer dans les petites rues.
Un message avec la localisation exacte serait souhaitable.

Passable
Pros:

Localisation
Petit déjeuner

Cons:

Propreté
Bruit : nous avons eu une chambre avec un groupe électrogène pas très loin
Nous avons eu un changement de programme plus d’un mois auparavant. La gérance n’a pas voulu nous annuler la dernière nuit sur les trois réservé car le délai d’annulation été passé de quelques jours. Rien à faire , nous avons dû payer une nuit pour rien.

Hôtel très bien situé dans l’hyper centre. Parfait pour une nuit en transition dans la ville.
Pros:

Emplacement dans hyper centre.
Personnel sympathique
L’hôtel nous a fait une box pour le petit déjeuner à emporter parce que nous partions à 5h du matin.

Cons:

Nous avons eu une chambre avec une fenêtre donnant sur le groupe de climatisation dans une petite cour. Gros bruit toute la nuit et chambre sentant l’humidité.
Chambre toute petite mais très bien pour une nuit en transition.

Pros:

The room was quite large, the AC worked (when we had electricity of course), and the service was good, everyday they came to clean and put some spray for mosquitoes, which was needed.
The breakfast was really good and large, and you could choose from different type of breakfast.

Cons:

The view, or the lack of view from the room, you can only see a wall that i less than 2 meters away. There was a lot of blackouts, but it seems no backup generators, or maybe launched really late.
