Lei “Very good”
13 Feb 2025
Location - literally at the Darajani markets; the hustle and bustle of daily life, mingled with the calls to prayers and the scent of wood smoke, against an expansive urban view from the window (my room was on the top floor) Staff - friendly, helpful, considerate; the lovely hostesses keep the place safe and clean Comfortable bed No mosquito Great value for money

We were in the heart of the city. The location is great. I'm a fruitarian and fruit was around me. The sea is 7 min.walk. The woman who welcomed us tried to be everything good with guests

Joyce “Uncomfortable check-in”
18 Aug 2024
The location of the room is good. Everything is in walking distance. The rooms are simple, but they are as described and clean. So if that is what you're looking for, this place is good.

The location was suitable for us who do not plan to go to beaches. But if you are looking for a beach then this place will be very far. There are lots of restaurants nearby. Walking distances to Stone Town attractions. Staff tries to be helpful even though we have language problems. The place is value for money as it has AC which was a great help in the sweltering hot sun outside. Rooms are clean, toilet is small. There is a window in toilet and mosquitoes comes in from there.
