Very friendly guest. Transfer from the Airport. Good location. (But be careful with GPS when approaching: due to narrow streets and high buildings the GPS signal is not reliable.) Our plane arrived early in the morning, but we could soon go there, and a guest offered a gratis breakfast even for that day.

House is in good location for tourist, in center - Stone Town, close to ferry, close to beach, around are restaurants and groceries. House is old house typical for Stone Town, so with big room with partition for toilet/bathroom. In price is good breakfest of toust with omellette, jam, peanuts butter and fruits and tea. Great host, which is really very helpful and friendly and directly can offer some tours, he also take me to airport in deep night and prepared great last dinner with seafood.

Noise from street, but its center, so I expect this, necessary earplugs as general in Africa. Bathroom need renovation, but there was always water and hot water, which is not everywhere in Stone Town. Wifi sometimes does not work. In house was bad signal of Vodacom, but maybe Zantel works better.

* Super friendly host * Breakfast including omelette, bread, fruit and yummy fresh juice * Great location * decent value if you don't care about western comforts

* Saggy, uncomfortable and noisy bed * Location on Booking incorrect (correct coordinates -6.1608439, 39.1915620) * Need to coordinate arrival. If you don't have phone service you might wait a long time * Old building in rough shape * Bathroom poorly made of wooden pallets * Toilet seat not attached, keeps falling off and uncomfortable * Noisy fan and a/c

Very nice owners of the hotel, everything was very pleasant. For those who are not fixated on the Euro level, this is a great place to relax, atmospheric and shows the culture and surroundings of Zanzibar very well! I am very glad that I chose this hotel! I recommend it!
