One night in Stone town
Pros:

I really liked the personal of the hotel, very kind and attentive to our needs. We arrived very late due to a change in our flight and there were waiting for us. The room is spacious and clean. The bed is huge and very comfortable. This place is charming as it is decorated as the typical places in Stone town.

Cons:

The breakfast should be more various :)

Buena base ‘Budget’ para conocer Stone Town
Pros:

Las habitaciones. Están bien por lo que pagas. Baño amplio, aire acondicionado, cortina antimosquitos, etc.

Cons:

La ubicación no está lo más céntrico posible. De noche hay unos 10 min caminando desde los puntos más turísticos

Cons:

Nous avons du changer d’hôtel à l’arrivée étant donné que la chambre était moisie sur le plafond et les murs. Une odeur insoutenable, et des traces de moisissures sur le lit.

A y réfléchir avant de le choisir encore
Pros:

Emplacement correct

Cons:

Chambre avec climatiseur qui ne marche pas et sans fenêtre donnant vers l’extérieur. Les bruits de l’extérieur me réveillait car c'était comme si je dormais dehors, sans sécurité. La fenêtre abîmée et absente, juste un vide.
Le Split de la clim abîmée et faisant couler de l'eau dans la chambre.
