Bon séjour au Shoki Shoki, grâce à un très bon petit déjeuner à un emplacement parfait.
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien placé, à proximité de toutes les commodités, et des quartiers à visiter tout en restant au calme et dans une ruelle tranquille.
Le petit déjeuner est très bon, varié avec du choix et copieux.

Cons:

Certaines chambres ont une fenêtre qui donne sur un mur, ce qui limite la luminosité. Le personnel est pour partie sympathique et pour partie assez fermé et peu loquace.

Great location at a great price!
Pros:

Amazing location right in the middle of Stone Town. Short walk to the seafront and all restaurants. Rooms are nicely fitted out also with a good shower. Comfortable bed and a good selection at breakfast. Very helpful staff.

Cons:

We had a room on the top floor, only small complaint was just 1 chair on the balcony. The view was of another building just a few feet away but this can't be helped to to the location. I would stay again.
