Pros:

Camera familiare molto carina.
Personale gentilissimo e disponibile.
Bellissima terrazza dove fare la colazione.
Ottima posizione per visitare il centro.

Cons:

E' in mezzo alla medina per cui non si arriva direttamente con la macchina, ma si deve fare un piccolo tratto di strada a piedi.
Letti un pò duri

Pros:

Everything was wonderful. The rooftop breakfast was particularly nice. Like many hotels in Zanzibar City, you cannot get a taxi to the door, but they have porters to bring the bags. We wanted to relax one evening with Netflix, but had an issue with the TV. They fixed it in less than an hour.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Locatie was goed in midden van oude stad. Leuk dakterras voor ontbijt. Ontbijt was zeer goed. Personeel was allemaal uitermate vriendelijk. En werd alle moeite gedaan om het ons naar onze zin te maken.

Cons:

Da kamers waren wel heel erg karig. Gordijnen dekten raam niet helemaal af. Op 1 vd 2 bedden lag niet eens een laken de eerste nacht. Toen we dat de dag daarna zeiden kregen we meteen een laken. Waren ze gewoon vergeten denk ik. Voorzieningen zoals badkamer waren zeer eenvoudig maar dat is wel wat we inmiddels Afrikaanse voorzieningen noemen want dat lijkt wel standaard te zijn in deze klasse.
