I highly recommend this hotel. It located in center of Stone town and is convenient, affordable price. The breakfast is great. Also, the staffs are sooo kind. When I went to the airport, a receptionist negotiated with a taxi driver in order to make it cheap price. They are so kind and worth to stay there

    Great budget hotel in an interesting location away from the tourist bits of Stone town but near enough for easy access. Gives a sense of real life in Zanzibar.
