Très bon emplacement
Pros:

L'emplacement, au cœur de la vieille ville et à proximité immédiate de la plage.
Le très bon petit-déjeuner
La présence de fontaines à eau à tous les étages.

Cons:

Les chambres sans vue et même murées au rez-de-chaussée !!!
Avons demandé à changer de chambre pour le 1er étage, pour une chambre avec balcon et vue étroite et latérale sur la rue (mur en face) - moyennant un surcoût bien sûr...
L'ambiance très froide dans la chambre le soir avec de vilains éclairages au plafond.
Salle de bains minimaliste..

Pas honnêtes. Ils vendent une chambre avec un grand lit pour 3 adultes en disant qu’on peut tous dormir ensemble et pour
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner

Cons:

Un lit double pour une réservation pour 3 adultes et de s’entendre dire qu’on peut dormir à 3 dans le lit, sinon il faut payer un supplément pour avoir un lit supplémentaire.
1 serviette pour 3
Gel douche vide
Impossible d’éteindre la clim
Très bruyant : bruits de l’hôtel et bruits extérieurs

bof bof
Pros:

la localisation, tout proche de la mer

Cons:

Le service très long du petit déjeuner (+ de 30 minutes pour avoir une assiette - il n'y a pas de buffet) et des rations vraiment ridicules, je ne comprends pas les avis positifs sur le petit déjeuner, il n'était vraiment pas à la hauteur.

Hotel não fez meu checkin
Cons:

Fiz a minha reserva, ela estava ativa e a recepcionista não me deixou entrar no hotel. Disse que havia comunicado o Booking sobre o cancelamento. Porém, eu não fui avisada em nenhum momento sobre isso. O hotel poderia ter me avisado, pois tem meu e-mail e meu WhatsApp, mas preferiu colocar a culpa no Booking. Depois me disse que são coisas que acontecem. Na minha opinião, a gente faz a reserva pelo aplicativo justamente para não acontecer isso. Minha sugestão, não corram risco.
Ah, se a hospedagem tivesse sido cancelada, como eles falaram, eu não teria conseguido fazer esta avaliação.

Great location but property needs modernising
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The bathrooms are very dated. Each time we showered, the whole bathroom flooded with water. The toilets are on a step. It really needs modernising.

Pros:

L’emplacement est idéal, à deux pas du centre-ville, ce qui permet de tout faire à pied. Le personnel est accueillant

Cons:

j’ai été déçu par le confort du lit : le matelas était vraiment très dur, au point d’avoir l’impression de dormir par terre. J’ai également trouvé dommage que la chambre ne dispose pas de fenêtre, ce qui donne une impression d’être enfermé et rend la pièce très sombre. C’est un hôtel correct pour son emplacement et sa propreté, mais ces points mériteraient d’être améliorés.

Pros:

A good, budget-friendly option in a great location in Stone Town. The room was exactly as expected for the price point, clean and reasonably comfortable, although the bathroom was very basic. The staff were friendly, but the service was fairly basic. Overall, it’s a good choice if you’re looking for somewhere simple to stay for a night or two while exploring the area.
