Great location in the alleys of Stone Town. Awesome view from the terrace. Within walking distance of all sights.

The entire bathroom floods when you take a shower since the drain is on the other side of the room from the shower.

We booked a room purely so we could dump our bags and wander around Stone town for an afternoon as there are no left luggage facilities at the airport. It turned out to be a good idea as the streets are very narrow so large backpacks would be cumbersome. With about 15 minutes notice the front desk quickly organised a private tour for us to Prison island for less than we could organise ourselves. Everything went smoothly and we checked out later the same evening to catch our flight to Dar. There's a grey parrot in the property as well. It's amazing! The view from the top floor is worth staying here for.

It was great. And it included breakfast (which we didn't have) but still... what a deal!

This place turned out better than I expected. I could pick up my room and got one with a nice bathroom. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is really good, in the middle of Stone Town. The view from the terrace is really awesome. Everything works, no issues.

It was very noisy in the street at night as I was there since one of the staff had shared the WiFi password with the teenagers. They told me this is not usually the case, but I obviously suffered the consequences. There are no windows, so I had to use earplugs to avoid the noise. Also, one of the night-shift receptionists begged me for a soda, which is kind of shocking and unprofessional, but still no big issue. Another issue I had was that the last night my keycard stopped working and they had to change me to another room, which was quite annoying since it was my last night and still had to move all my stuff. But the staff was very responsive and helpful, and this is still Africa, so you should expect this sort of things happening

Very flexible reservation. The owner is very helpful. Its in the very center of old town. But I think one needs to manage ones expectation of luxury here. Most buildings are very old in Stone Town and are therefore not perfectly maintainable (especially for a budget hostel). Thats also what some people mentioned in the comments (stairs etc.). But I can recommend it for anyone on a budget who needs flexible booking conditions. I can not stress enough the helpfulness and flexibility of the staff and owner. Have a good stay!

the accommodation is beautiful the photo gallery on Booking.com corresponds to reality the staff is very helpful, very friendly the reception of the accommodation will help arrange taxis, trips and everything the guest needs to be satisfied I really recommend everyone to visit this accommodation

The location is perfect, nice big room and double bed, air con was perfect, brakefast with view on the roof top and a charming old building with wooden stairs in the middle of Stone Town I like it👍

The location is good One of the cheapest places you can find in stone town Friendly staff Beds with moskito nets Free breakfast every morning

The mosque close to the hostel will wake you at 5.30 am The wi fi is very slow *if it works* Sometimes the water pressure from the shower was very very low

Very friendly staff that helped us with any questions or directions. The hostel is located in the heart of Stone Town, sp perfect to explore the narrow streets of this Unesco World Heritage City.

The hotel is a little dated compared to pictures but at the price you get for town centre location it's good. We had a room with air con which was great. The staff were friendly and helpful, booked a taxi for us to next destination. The breakfast is included, it's basic but free. The steps are steep.

Location was great, the front desk fixed us up with tours, housekeeping did laundry for us. The only gripe was the Wi-fi wasn’t able to stream but we really weren’t there for tv.
