Ein wundervoller Urlaub in einer belebten Stadt.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war wundervoll. Wir können uns gar nicht beschweren! Besonders hervorzuheben ist das unfassbar nette Personal und Manager. Wir haben uns rund um wohl gefühlt. Das Zimmer war sauber und super. Sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Es war wunderbar.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts auszusetzen

Pros:

Staff here was absolutely excellent. I arrived later in the evening as a solo female traveler and the staff walked me to the dinner restaurant I wanted to check out. The following day, I had a list of some souvenirs I was still hoping to buy. They walked me around Stone Town and made sure I had everything I needed. The property was otherwise very clean. I enjoyed the balcony in my room. As others say, the rooftop breakfast is excellent. Good location between all of the shops and the market. Nothing is more than a 5 min walk.

Excellent choice in Stone Town center

Nice guesthouse in the old city center and close to the monuments. Large and cozy room on upper floor with tradicional details. Super professional, friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast on the terrace with marvellous views.

There is no elevator. No problem if you're young or sporty.

Pros:

Het vriendelijke personeel en de locatie. Ik kreeg zelfs op de dag van aankomst, een vroege aankomst, een uitbreid ontbijt terwijl je officeel pas in de middag kan inchecken. Ik werd met open armen ontvangen en ik kon ook veel eerder mijn kamer in. Top service!

Cons:

Niets. Het personeel had me netjes gewaarschuwd over de eventuele overlast van het geluid van de ramadan, maar ik heb geslapen als een roosje. Ook had ik het idee dat het hotel ietwat gehorig was, maar ook daar had ik geen last van.

Very helpful staff.

Cons:

Car couldn’t get very close - you had to walk with luggage. But still close to many Stone town sites. Stairs but we knew this.

IMPECCABLE
Pros:

Hôtel chaleureux, propre, bien situé. Le personnel est aux petits soins, très à l'écoute. La chambre était spacieuse. Le rooftop très agréable. Restée qu'une nuit mais je reviendrai avec plaisir. Attention : Pas de restauration à part le petit déjeuner. Nous avons eu de l'aide pour nous orienter sur Stone Town, pour porter nos bagages jusqu'au ferry pour nous indiquer où dîner localement.

Cons:

Rien

Bel hotel typique avec excellent petit déjeuner
Pros:

Excellent accueil, même tardif. Dans cet hotel on est parfaitement immergé dans une des ruelles de Stone Town.
Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, varie et copieux.

Cons:

Le matelas est un peu dur mais je pense que c'est très commun à Zanzibar ;-)
On s'y fait très bien !
