Sicher nicht wieder!

4.0

Das einzige Positive mag die zentrale Lage sein. Allerdings ist es dadurch abends auch sehr laut. Musik und Nebengeräusche bis mindestens 1.00 Uhr Nachts. Gefallen, hat eigentlich gar nichts!

Das Frühstück war eine Katastrophe. Das Angebot, vergleichbar mit Kuba - so gut wie nichts! Die Butter so schon nach Magen & Darm Probleme aus. Meine Entscheidung, zwei gut durchgebratenen Spiegeleier und eine Scheibe trockenen Toast. Was mir auch nicht gefallen hat, waren die gebrauchten Gummi-Bade-Flipflops, die schiefe Toilettenbrille, der abgeblätterte Putz in der Dusche, der schlechte TV Empfang und und und

Localita is good.

It was difficult to walk around bed because it fill almodt whole width of the room. Windows were in direction to next building ( 1m) which was very close so the room was dark. They reconstruct neighbor building therefore a lot of noise during the day. I need to ask for towel: i asked 2 they gave me 1.

A perfect base to explore Zanzibar and Stone Town

9.0

Right in the middle of old Stone Town, yet very quiet. The personnel is very friendly and the management made every of our extras wishes come true. We could check in earlier to set up a business call, got a parking space for our rental motorbike, extra towels were provided. All while the cost of the accommodation was very reasonable.

The heritage of the house clearly comes at the price of stairs.
