Хуже найти сложно
Возможно, когда-то, лет двадцать назад, отель выглядел так, как на фотографиях. Ныне это настоящая помойка. Комнаты грязные, с разводами на стенах. Обещанной москитной сетки не было, от нее имелись обрывки крепления. Жуткая слышимость, с утра до ночи местные гомонили под окнами и носились на мотоциклах. Без включенного кондиционера вообще жить нельзя, с включенным кондиционером очень холодно, а одеял в отеле нет, только тонкие простыни. Санузел выглядит так мерзко, что я не решился принимать душ. Не понимаю, отчего у отеля такой высокий рейтинг.

Le personnel est très sympathique et accueillant. Mais pour le reste , il y a encore beaucoup à faire: lavabo, douche, wc tous pratiquement collés les uns aux autres, si une personne se douche, personne d’autre ne peut rentrer sinon on sera mouillé, les papiers toilettes il faut les demander tout le temps, de même pour les serviettes, cela peut faire 2 à 3 jours sans qu’elles soient changées .

Nice staff and clean hotel.
We had a lovely stay in the Hotel with nice staff and clean rooms and other areas! The only thing that made us upset was the apparent extra fee that was $9/night/person extra charge that wasn't written or included in Hotels.com.. This was greatly disappointing because the room was $18/night and this extra tax made it dubble the price which is an extreme increase and surprise when not mentioned in the booking (apparently this tax is addes in bookings.com but not Hotels.com) Hopefully this will be mentioned in the future with additional tax to pay in hotel. Other than that we loved the place and gice it a 5 star because of the nice and helpful staff and clean ac room.

A mediocre place
The hotel entrance and reception not inviting. The rooms are small to normal size, clean but worn out. There is no mattress but foam. Internet service exists but very slow. Breakfast is ok. No fresh coffee or tea though, they come in tea bags here. The nearby mosque can be a nuisance at sunrise specially on your first day after an 8 hour flight. On arrival we were offered a triple room for about three hours until we were appointed to our reserved rooms. The best excuse was that the people staying in those rooms had not arrived to pick up their staff. In my opinion, the hotel is overpriced for what you get. There are nicer places nearby in similar prices.

You Want economy, You Get a 2 star Hotel
I have stayed here several times, and continue to occasionally becasue of friendships I have formed with staff members. The staff are always helpful and polite. The hotel is a 2 star, in a noisy part of the city, but an excellent locartion near to the ferry port. THe rooms are very basic, and it is likelt that something does not working a room on a given day. The price is hard to beat, though.

Great place to stay if you are on a budget. The hotel is in the middle of stone town and close to everything. The staff are super friendly and helpful! The room was OK and clean, but there is no barrier between the toilet and shower. The overall experience was good but do not expect luxuries since it is a cheap hotel.

Not a nice place
You are woken up terrified at 5:30am by the extremely loud islamic call to prayer, chanted from speakers pointing directly into you room. There was no breakfast even though we paid for it, and the bathroom was not very clean. Almost no other guests there.
