Great value and Great Staff
The staff was extremely helpful, walking me around Stone Town in search of tickets. The room was basic and had all we needed. We loved the view from the top floor and the delicious breakfast.

И бюджетно, и отлично!
Месторасположение - лучше не придумаешь! Отель находится между центральным рынком и набережной, 5 минут ходьбы в каждую сторону, и что ещё важнее - очень близко к центральной дороге, т.е. не в глубине лабиринтов-улочек. 30 м - и ты на дороге. Завтрак как везде: яйца в любом виде, фрукты, сок, чай/кофе, блины, джем. Тишина, чистота относительная (но это не страшно). Персонал изучает курс русского языка и вполне уже может с тобой общаться - все доброжелательные, приветливые. Проблем никаких не было, осталась довольна пребыванием.
