What guests loved the most

“A beautiful bed, Very clean room A great breakfast”

, Kenya

“The hotel is a bit old but really close to stone town and the night market where you can find cheap food. And great value for money anyway :)”

, Ethiopia

“The property is merely a walking distance from ferry dock, harbor,fish market, great restaurants, evenings food court of about 30 stalls serving all kinds of food just at the front of the ocean. However, the highlight of my stay at this property is the staff, especially the owner, Mr. Ali. They all made me feel like a part of their family. Daily breakfast, which is included in a room rate, is not a buffet breakfast, instead the eggs are cooked to your liking with your choice of tea or coffee. If I return to Zanzibar again, this property would be my only choice. Asante sana Mr. Ali and all.”
