Perfecto para conocer el casco histórico de Zanzíbar
Pros:

El alojamiento está muy céntrico, es una zona muy tranquila donde se conoce bien el centro histórico de Zanzíbar. Me gustó mucho tanto el trato por parte del personal que eran personas encantadoras y muy atentas como la ubicación y las habitaciones

Good price-quality ratio
Pros:

Very good breakfast and a good location close to the ferry and in stone town.

Cons:

There is a nice terrace but it isn't very cosy. This is too bad, if effort is put into some good lighting and seating it would be a nice place to sit at night.

Correct
Pros:

Rapport qualité prix correct. Bel emplacement, à quelques minutes du marché principal, de la côte et du centre ville

Cons:

Petit déjeuner basique, le mobilier un peu vieux mais cela peut suffire pour un stop à Stone Town

The staff was very helpful and carrying. Only a few minutes walk away from Forodhani while being away from the main road so it was quiet.

Cons:

The breakfast could have few more options

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.
