Perhaps one of the better hotels in Stone town for the price
Pros:

It was in a good location and once you’re inside the hotel, it was quiet

Cons:

The photos I’m booking.com don’t do it reality because it was very rundown also because it’s a garden hotel the mosquitoes are everywhere at all times of the day

Nicht noch einmal!
Pros:

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist mitten in Stone Town, was man von hieraus sehr gut erkunden kann. Die Zimmer sind zumindest im oberen Stockwerk geräumig, mit Küche, gut ausgestattetes Bad, Balkon für Raucher vorhanden. Abends werden die Räume auf Wunsch gegen Moskitos ausgesprüht. Es wird sich um Sauberkeit bemüht. Zum Frühstück kann man sich Eier nach Wahl zubereiten lassen, die Bananen waren gut ;) Taxi zum/vom Flughafen wird zu günstigem Preis vermittelt.

Cons:

Die Lage hat den Nachteil, dass man die letzten 200m zu Fuß machen muss, dies aber nicht kommuniziert wird. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier falsch. Lärm mindestens bis 22 Uhr. Leider sind die Zimmer wenig ansprechend, sehr heruntergekommen, im Style Las Vegas Stundenhotel 1980! Die Betten sind durchgelegen. Die Moskitonetze löchrig und muffig. Überall gibt es Schrammen, Dellen, undefinierbare Flecken. Die Lüftung im Bad ist verdreckt. Die Handtücher sind definitiv nicht mehr weiß. Unter der Zimmertür ist so ein großer Spalt, dass Kinder versucht haben meinen Raum auszuspionieren. Meinem Wechselgeld (weil grad nicht vorhanden) musste ich nachrennen, da ich es nach 24h immer noch nicht hatte.
Das Frühstück ist Geschmackssache, mein Fall ist es nicht. Viel warme herzhafte Speisen, wie in Afrika üblich. Das Brot und die gebotenen Gebäckteile waren trocken, Obst teilweise nicht reif. Kaffee nicht genießbar.

Ok, but next time better stay at one of the beaches
Pros:

Great old building with nice patio. The women in the hotel were very friendly. There were substantial maintenance issues. Had to change rooms two times. First room had no water, second air on did not work and shower knob was broken. All bathrooms smelled of sewage.

Cons:

See above. The travel agent in the courtyard charged extreme prices. Paid 50 dollars for taxi back and forth to the other side of the island. Costs 500 Ksh with public bus. Taxi was very old and broke down after one third of the way. The owner was fair and returned the fee and provided a free airport transfer

limited hours to use the pool.

Pros:

깨끗하고 에어컨 성능 좋았음

Cons:

아침 식사시간이 07:30분부터 가능하다고 했지만, 레스토랑 직원들이 시간을 지키지 않았고, 자기들끼리 웃고 떠들며 식탁 셋팅도 늦었어요.

Comfortable for the Price, but Best for Short Stays
Pros:

Antonio Garden Hotel was one of the more comfortable hotels I stayed in while in Stone Town, especially for the price point — and I think that’s the important thing to highlight. If you spend more money, you will probably get somewhere much nicer, but for what this hotel charges, it offers reasonable value.

The bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location was very good for exploring Stone Town. For a short stay of one or two nights, it works well

Cons:

One thing future guests should seriously consider is that this really is a “garden hotel,” and if mosquitoes tend to love you, you will probably get bitten quite a lot. Definitely bring mosquito repellent.

The hotel itself is also fairly run down in places, and the breakfasts were not great. The food was okay if ordered separately, but nothing particularly special
