Excellent rapport qualité prix au cœur de Stone Town, le personnel est d’une gentillesse, avec des petites attentions tout au long du séjour ! L’hôtel est très propre, le petit déjeuner sur le toit est complet et très agréable. Merci à toute l’équipe !

Pros:

Mi è piaciuto il rooftop per la colazione e per passare del tempo anche di sera. Verso le 22 tutti I negozietti limitrofi alla struttura chiudono e dunque le strade diventano un po' isolate.

Cons:

Nei pressi dell'hotel è presente una moschea che alle 5 del mattino fa il richiamo alla preghiera. Poiché le camere non hanno alcun tipo di insonorizzazione e i tappi che forniscono in reception sono totalmente inefficaci, è impossibile non svegliarsi.
Inoltre le tende non impediscono alla luce di entrare al mattino.

Pros:

Great location for the night market and other sites. Short walk to the beach front.

Cons:

Not the best view from the rooms. Car parking is not at the premises itself and has to be paid for.

Will stay here again these people are seriously the best!
Pros:

These people are the best! They came with a cart to pick up our luggage for us and cry it to the hotel. They watched our bags do we could enjoy stone town. Seriously the nicest and friendliest staff we have encountered. Hands down gorgeous accommodations!

Pros:

El personal fue muy amable, especialmente el chico de la recepción de noche. El rooftop del desayuno, la decoración e instalaciones cuidadas. Recomiendo el transfer del aeropuerto al hotel sobre todo si se llega de noche, ya que no se puede acceder en coche al centro donde está el hotel, y es más cómodo llegar con el transfer que te acompaña hasta el hotel.

Cons:

La cama era demasiado dura para mi gusto.

Cons:

Beaucoup de choses négatives méritent d’être dites sur cet hôtel afin de mettre en garde les futurs clients. Le point le plus important est celui de la localisation, l’hôtel est certes pas loin du centre mais situé dans des petites ruelles où la sécurité n’y règne pas. En effet, nous étions deux femmes, nous avions 5 minutes de marche de nuit dans ces rues pour regagner l’hôtel. Nous nous sommes faites suivre tout le long du chemin par un homme alcoolisé et très insistant, nous avions très peur et en arrivant devant l’hôtel il continuait de rester en insistant, il y avait des réceptionnistes dehors qui ont vu la scène et n’ont rien fait pour le faire partir nous laissant livrées à nous même avec un individu potentiellement dangereux. Si même au niveau de la sécurité nous ne pouvons pas compter sur l’hôtel et bien à fuir.
Pour parler maintenant de l’hôtel en lui même, la chambre sentait constamment l’humidité,
l’eau n’a jamais été chaude sur les 3 nuits passées, beaucoup de moisissures sur les murs de la salle de bain ainsi qu’une absence de couverture dans le lit.
Certes il s’agit d’un hôtel où les prix sont moindres pour la nuit, mais j’estime qu’il y a un minimum à avoir quand on voit qu’il est assez bien noté avec pas mal d’avis.

Excelente hospedagem.
Pros:

A localização é dentro da Stone Town - em um ponto que não chegam veículos, mas fácil de achar usando o Google Maps. O Quarto é espaçoso e muito confortável, e a equipe é muito simpática e solícita. Vi somente pontos positivos nesta hospedagem, com certeza foi uma ótima escolha.

Pros:

Personal molt agradable. Esmorçar molt bé.

Cons:

Et desperten a les 5 del mati les oracions de la mesquita que hi ha al costat. No serveixen els taps per les oides que et donen quan arribes.

Rewelacyjny obiekt w samym centrum Stone Town z najlepszym personelem!
Pros:

Przede wszystkim personel w hotelu jest znakomity: uśmiechnięty, pomocny i profesjonalny. Lokalizacja hotelu jest doskonała, w samym centrum Stone Town. Pokój przestronny, bardzo czysty, dobrze urządzony, łazienka świetna. Śniadania są wyśmienite, pyszna kawa na świetnym tarasie u góry budynku. Skorzystaliśmy z dwóch wycieczek proponowanych przez hotel i obydwie były świetnie zorganizowane, tak samo jak usługa taxi.
