Het personeel van het hotel is uitzonderlijk vriendelijk en super bereidwillig. Onze familiekamer was van alle gemakken voorzien. Het hotel is ook prima gelegen en daardoor de perfecte uitvalsbasis om Stone Town te ontdekken.

A gem in the heart of Stone Town
Pros:

Great hotel in the center of Stone Town. Staff is excellent, welcoming and helpful. Their service is impeccable.
Our room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel has character! nice decor and feels like a part of it's surrounding in Stone Town. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better but I think expectations should be real in such small hotel in this area and in this budget. Still didn't make me feel anything bad about my stay.

Everything is good
Pros:

Everything

Cons:

The only minor issue was the noise, but this is common throughout Stone Town. The narrow streets and nearby mosques are part of its unique charm and culture, so you may hear people passing by and the early morning call to prayer. The hotel thoughtfully provides complimentary earplugs to ensure a comfortable night's sleep.

Perfect for a stay in Stonetown
Pros:

The staff at Treasures of Zanzibar were very helpful and friendly - they met us where we got dropped off and helped walk with our luggage (about 10 minutes away). The accomodation is very clean and has all necessary amenities.

Cons:

The location could get noisy and the 5am prayer was very loud - however they provided earplugs to compensate for this. It wasn't a big deal and I'm sure this is the case at many hotels in Stonetown.
