Bon séjour au Shoki Shoki, grâce à un très bon petit déjeuner à un emplacement parfait.
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien placé, à proximité de toutes les commodités, et des quartiers à visiter tout en restant au calme et dans une ruelle tranquille.
Le petit déjeuner est très bon, varié avec du choix et copieux.

Cons:

Certaines chambres ont une fenêtre qui donne sur un mur, ce qui limite la luminosité. Le personnel est pour partie sympathique et pour partie assez fermé et peu loquace.

Great location at a great price!
Pros:

Amazing location right in the middle of Stone Town. Short walk to the seafront and all restaurants. Rooms are nicely fitted out also with a good shower. Comfortable bed and a good selection at breakfast. Very helpful staff.

Cons:

We had a room on the top floor, only small complaint was just 1 chair on the balcony. The view was of another building just a few feet away but this can't be helped to to the location. I would stay again.

オーナーとスタッフが不誠実
Cons:

こちらのホテルでパスポートとクレジットカード、現金、IDが入ったポーチ２つが部屋の中で盗まれました。部屋に置いて出かけて帰ってきたら無くなっていたのでこちらのホテルで盗まれたのには間違いないのですが、オーナーの方に連絡しても返事がなく、後日やっと連絡がついたと思ったら「もう時間が経ったから」と言われ何も対応してもらえませんでした。とても不誠実で、泊まるには危険なホテルでした。

Disappointed
Pros:

Hotel was fine. Decent location. Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Beds are hard. No blankets. Tried to change reservation to a different day and even add an additional day. Couldn't do it so we had to eat the cost. Not acceptable 😒

We booked based on reviews, but we ended up very disappointed.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It’s very cramped, almost like a student house. The bed was rock hard and the walls were not clean.
