Uns hat es prima gefallen, man ist mitten im Getümmel von Stonetown.
Pros:

Schönes großes Familienzimmer, viele tolle Pflanzen überall und eine herrliche Aussicht von der Dachterrasse. Wir konnten auch unser Gepäck am Abreisetag bis Abends dort lassen und noch den Pool benutzen, was nach einem heißen Tag in Stonetown wirklich toll war.

Cons:

Der Generator, der direkt im Erdgeschoss genau vor dem Familienzimmer steht. Dieser sprang bei Stromausfall nachts um 23:30 Uhr an und zum Glück nur für eine halbe Stunde. Das war schon extrem laut.

Pros:

Petit déjeuner vraiment délicieux et copieux, un service au top !! Très bonne propreté des locaux et de la chambre. Piscine très agréable et bien entretenue, rien à dire !

Cons:

Le wifi s’arrête à minuit le jour du départ, mais accueil nous redonne un MDP pour rester connecté au besoin.

Pros:

Lovely little hotel in the heart of stone town! Had a sea view room and a courtyard room! - courtyard was actually better and quieter! But both lovely rooms! Exceptional food on the roof top.

Cons:

Little bit noisy in the sea view room!

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
