Agradavel, mas barulhento quando não há luz (praticamente todos os dias)
Pros:

A localização é boa, próxima da zona principal. É um hotel limpo, com uma boa zona para um pequeno-almoço tranquilo. E mesmo para relaxar tem uma piscina agradável, pequena, mas serve para umas horas

Cons:

Do gerador ao lado da janela do meu quarto. Deveria haver uma janela de melhor qualidade para bloquear o barulho. Qualidade internet também não é boa

Im Herzen von Stone Town
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage 100m zur Promenade, sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Das Hotel hat einen eigenen Fahrer der für alle Fahrten zu buchen ist, sehr praktisch. Schönes Restaurant, mit Dachterrasse und Blick über die Bucht von Stone Town.

Cons:

Da fällt mir nichts ein was uns beeinträchtigt hätte oder es wären "Luxus Probleme "

Pros:

It's town hotel, looks a little bit old, but clean very good location

Cons:

We was charged city tax 10e per night for one room, didn't show on booking com that amount as extra to pay and It's much more than other hotels, if you stay longer I think it's a bit hight taxes, maybe because it's town
