Matig, zou hier niet weer verblijven
Pros:

Bedden waren goed, locatie.

Cons:

Per abuis kon in met mijn sleutel een andere kamer openen. Het hele hotel ruikt naar schoonmaakmiddel, maar de kamers kunnen echt veel schoner.

Pros:

Très bon emplacement en plein cœur de Stone Town. Les lits sont confortables et la petite piscine, assez rare dans le centre, pour ce prix est vraiment appréciée. Un séjour simple mais agréable, parfait pour profiter de la ville

Cons:

En revanche, le service laisse vraiment à désirer : le personnel est souvent sur son téléphone et peu attentif, l’accueil manque d’écoute et la personne qui nous a accompagnés en chambre était peu aimable. La chambre était également très petite

Old town hotel
Pros:

Good location. Pool. Nice bathroom.

Cons:

We' ve booked only one night, so maybe that's why our room was on the ground floor next to the busy street - kids playing football all the time...
Bar was quite expensive.

Pros:

Loistava sijainti stone town sydämessä. Kaikki oleellinen kävellen tavoitettavissa. Kapeat kujat, ei autoliikennettä.
Mukava ravintola kattoterassilla.

Great location, clean tidy room as you’d expect for the price
Pros:

Great pool, super location, nice welcome touches. Rooftop is lovely. Staff were welcoming.

Cons:

Understand the people in the foyer selling services as part of the business and it’s beneficial to some but it was a bit tiresome walking past, they were always friendly and polite though
