Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal, à deux pas du centre-ville, ce qui permet de tout faire à pied. Le personnel est accueillant

Cons:

j’ai été déçu par le confort du lit : le matelas était vraiment très dur, au point d’avoir l’impression de dormir par terre. J’ai également trouvé dommage que la chambre ne dispose pas de fenêtre, ce qui donne une impression d’être enfermé et rend la pièce très sombre. C’est un hôtel correct pour son emplacement et sa propreté, mais ces points mériteraient d’être améliorés.

Pros:

A good, budget-friendly option in a great location in Stone Town. The room was exactly as expected for the price point, clean and reasonably comfortable, although the bathroom was very basic. The staff were friendly, but the service was fairly basic. Overall, it’s a good choice if you’re looking for somewhere simple to stay for a night or two while exploring the area.
