Molto buono
Pros:

Personale gentile. La posizione al centro fra i due mercati della città. La stradina è un pò isolata ma non ti disturba nessuno e sei al sicuro

Pros:

Veldig rent rom, deilig seng, god beliggenhet midt i Stone Town gamleby, veldig stille og rolig men meget sentralt, AC og tv på rommet. Ingen luksus, men enkelt og greit og meget god valuta for pengene.

We arrived tired in the early hours of 5AM. The guy at the reception immediately arranged a room for us to check in. We were positively surprised because we didn't expect this. The staff is very friendly and they make sure you feel at home.

Pros:

The hotel was in good shape, and the staff were friendly, but some of the amenities mentioned on booking.com weren't available. Overall, it's a decent place to stay for the price if you're not looking for anything luxurious or relaxing.
