Super Standort für Erkundungen in Stonetown
Pros:

Leider war das Zimmer nicht so geräumig und modern wie die ShokiShoki Lodge in Arusha, aber man muss da wahrscheinlich in Stone Town mit anderen Standards rechnen. Die Lage war super, um die Altstadt zu erkunden und man ist auch sehr nah am Wasser/ Hafen.

Cons:

Zimmer etwas eng und sehr dunkel weil kaum Tageslicht. Matratze eher hart.

Pros:

The place is cozy and gives you the Stone Town experiance. Is a walking distance from tourist attractions including the beach. The breakfast was good although the space is small, I enjoyed the sweet breakfast more.

Cons:

Breakfast time was late, at times.

Pros:

Empfang sehr freundlich, Frühstück in Ordnung. Die Lage war top, schön zentral und trotz allem nicht laut.

Cons:

Wir hatten zwar einen Balkon jedoch war die Aussicht auf eine ca. 1m entfernte Hauswand. Der Wasserdruck war so gering, dass ein Duschen nicht möglich war. Den Safe konnte man sich unter den Arm klemmen und das Hotel verlassen.

Leider hatten wir das Zimmer direkt unten an der Rezeption. Wenn die Leute morgens an- oder abgereist sind, gab es sehr viel Lärm.
