HOTEL LINDO!
Pros:

O quarto tem um tamanho ótimo e tudo era bem novo e muito limpo. A Cama era otima, o banheiro com um tamanho bom e com itens de higiene de otima qualidade.
Achei a localização perfeita, perto de um ATM, lojas de tanzanitas, nas ruas mais famosas.
Adoramos o almoço, café da manhã foi excelente. O hotel é belissimo. Para mim foi otimo.

Cons:

O checkin foi as 23h e só tinha 1 funcionário para cuidar das malas, imprimir os passaportes e etc.
Portanto demorou um pouco para entrarmos no nosso quarto.

Pros:

Posizione Centrale. Edificio nel complesso molto bello

Cons:

Sicuramente la stanza che mi è stata assegnata. Stanza al piano terra, dove le tre finestre davano su una strada molto rumorosa. E la porta della camera dava sul cortile interno, di passaggio e quindi molto rumoroso. Altro aspetto negativo della camera che mi è stata assegnata era il bagno senza porte sulla camera da letto che non prevedeva appunto nessuna tipo di privacy.

Luxurious stay in the heart of Stone Town
Pros:

The location was great, the hotel design and amenities were 5 star and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful especially during a late night check in

Cons:

The room was on the ground floor and a little bit dark, and the geyser seemed to run out of hot water after only one shower (it wasn't fully cold but no longer hot)

Pros:

Molt cèntric, l'hotel és molt bonic. Restaurant servei amable i ràpid.
Esmorzar excellent.
Excursió privada a Nakupenda, la noia de recepció es va preocupar per donar-nos tovalloles, tot un detall.

Cons:

Habitació una mica petita i amb molta olor a humitat.
Es van oblidar de vindre'ns a buscar a l'aeroport. El restaurant té poca varietat de vins.
L'excursió privada amb barco a Nakupenda espectacular, però per el preu podrien donar algo més que aigua.

Exquisito
Pros:

Todo impecable. La habitación preciosa, con una energía muy bonita. Minimalismo y calidad unidos. Tecnología en ventilador y luces. Y un trato exquisito del personal. Cenamos en el restaurante de arriba. Muuy bueno! Algo caro pero la calidad se paga.

Cons:

Nada. Todo perfecto.
