decent stay with some drawbacks

friendly staff excellent location street noise minimal water
the staff were friendly and relaxed. i found the breakfast to be solid, including fruit and omelette. the air-conditioning worked well in the rooms. the location is excellent, close to all the attractions and the public beach.
the shower head had minimal water coming out. i had to squat down to use the tap to shower, which would be difficult for tall people. there is quite a bit of noise coming from the street at night.

Excellent Value in Stone Town!

helpful staff powerful shower efficient ac
I was impressed with the helpfulness of the staff. Emmanuel assisted with a late-night food delivery. The AC and fan unit worked very well, providing relief during the hot days. I especially liked the powerful shower. It was just what I needed after exploring.
The room faced the street, and the noise level at night was significant. Some earplugs helped a bit, but quieter rooms would be welcomed.

Breakfast was served just across the street at a nice restaurant, with diverse Indian dishes. The garlic naan was AMAZING!!! It was prepared quickly and delivered fresh to the table.
