Neat and clean room, great location.

It was noisy and there were no dark windows so the morning light made it hard to sleep from 7 afterwards

The hotel is located in the center of Stone Town, in a safe, convenient and picturesque neighbourhood. The room was clean and tidy with everyday cleaning. Thank you for the positive experience!

Nice place at the heart of Stone town very accessible to all the major attraction sites

There was a constant sound coming from the balcony at almost all hours and gave us a headache. Also breakfast was a bit disappointing.. Nothing special

The location was a huge plus. Inside stone town close to everything. Very clean room

Cozy place to stay.

The room was very noisy since it didn't have a window but only a shutter that didnt block any noise from outside. It's located in a quite busy street. The room listing said "soundproof roomd" which I usually go for since I'm a light sleeper. When I talked to the staff they moved me to another room which was a bit more quiet.

The staff is very friendly and my room was spacious (however my friend stayed in a 1p room that was super tiny so mind that when booking). The breakfast is served in the Indian restaurant just across the street, only starting at 08.00 which was a bit too late for me., but i got a take away breakfast with delicious fruit.

Sign should be bigger at the entrance

Close to everything in stone town and nice staff. I would like to thank Adlyn Krish for looking after me as I had an early flight and had to check out at 2am so she made sure breakfast was put aside for me …. Thanks a lot that’s what I call above and beyond

The breakfast, limited variety

It's literally in the heart of the city

Stayed in June 2025

All was fine. Maybe the breakfast 'box' was a bit simple, but reasonable enough.

Nice, secluded little hotel near the fort. It's old but well-kept, nice staff, comfy bed. Good inexpensive option at the heart of Stonetown.

It is located in a small alley and was not evident from the street, but this didn't affect my stay: there are a lot of helpful people on the street who know about it, so I found it easily. Just wanted to add that the staff are the real face of the hotel, try to keep them well paid and add bonuses for their performance because they make an enormous effort! Keep up the good work!

It is an old traditional building of Zanzibar architecture. So beautiful room! Although, is old is very well maintained and beautifully decorated. The bed was tall and comfortable, fresh and the staff was so helpful, they even brought me a beer when I asked for it!

Historic style right at the old fort

A beautiful spot right in the center. Great breakfast just across the street (incl in the price). Lovely and very helpful staff!

Stone town can be a little noisy at night.

Staff very helpful and even packed a takeaway breakfast for me when I had a very early flight. Staff available 24hrs. Bed very comfortable and everything immaculately clean. Good air-conditioning

The bathroom does not have a door

Cozy room, nice AC, friendly staff

The pump filling the water tank was a bit noisy but nothing to complain about for the location and pricing

Smack bang in Stone Town, close to forodhani, nice breakfast, friendly staff nice zanzibari style

I found this hotel very, very uncomfortable. The pillows were extremely lumpy to the point where it made me wonder what they were made of. Air conditioning settings could not be changed - it kept on turning itself on & off constantly, and each time it did it was really loud - sometimes waking me up at night. Bathroom had no door and I had to hold the shower head in my hand, otherwise it was pointing to the toilet. Room definitely did not look like in pictures.

This hotel had a very traditional feel and the breakfast was good

Wooden staircase from first to second floor.

Good value for money.

It’s a little fraud around the edges

A charming hotel, ideally located in stone town. The lobby is a little off-putting on arrival but the rooms are well furnished in Swahili style, the beds comfortable and the breakfast over the road very satisfying.

Poor soundproofing. No warm blankets.

Location. Size of the room.

This hotel is conveniently located near the ferry to Dar es Salaam. If you’re looking for a traditional stay, it’s a good choice. The owner, Jay, is friendly and helpful. Just across from the hotel, there’s an Indian restaurant that serves Indian good including Jain and Swaminarayan food.

Not the most aesthetically pleasing room and a lot of noise passing through the windows.

Decent room, amazing service and the best location! Great value for money, good WiFi and such amazing breakfast option. Will definitely be back.
