1 night in Stonetown

Location: Centrally located so ideal for exploring the old town.
Used this hotel as a base when we had a very early flight from Zanzibar the next morning. We arrived quite early and the hotel was happy to store our luggage whilst we went exploring. Very helpful and friendly staff who went out of their way to help us get the most of our time there. Room was medium size and very clean with efficient if a little noisy air conditioning. Bathroom had adequate toiletries and good shower with plenty of hot water.

Das Personal ist nett und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war okey. Das Zimmer war leider nicht sauber. Bei der Dusche und beim Lavabo war der Ablauf nicht verschlossen und stank. Zwischen den Plättchen am Boden kam Wasser raus-> der Boden war immer nass. Die Lage ist jedoch super!

Praktisch und freundlich. In der Nähe zu allem. Taperia am Abend als Bar in der Nähe. Strand in der nähe. Securitas bei Dunkelheit immer vor dem Eingangsbereich.
