The hotel offers great value with an amazing room at a low price. Guests appreciated the convenient location near the fish market and city center. They also enjoyed the delicious breakfast served by friendly staff.

The front desk staff was out of this world, he explained to us how to go about town and even gave us advice on how to interact with the locals. The breakfast was exquisite 😋 the rooms are very spacious.

I booked my stay in Stone Town for 1 night as I had a late flight. It was really cheap and really easy. The rooms were clean and the staff (Abdullah) was very helpful in booking airport transfers for me and my friend. What can sometimes be a stressful time was made easy and quick because the staff booked reliable taxis and they also had grear knowledge of the area. I was a little worried when the check-in time was for 14:00 because we arrived at 12-noon. However, the staff got a room ready for us very quickly and we manage to be able to put away our luggage in a locked room giving us few worries. For the price this place is a steal!!

We booked with booking, with advance payment. When we arrived they told us that everything was full and they took us to another, much worse hotel. The rooms were small, dirty and old. The shower did not work properly. One of the rooms flooded while using it. Plus it was on top of a nightclub. It's a scam, they book more rooms than they can handle and redirect customers to cheaper hotels.
