The worst possible outcome,
You’ve been traveling 16 hours to find out your room was double booked. 14 hours of travel and it’s midnight they don’t have any taxis also, and any hotel is 150+ usd just to sleep 8 hrs. You can tell they do it all the time too. Expedia offered me 8$ for accommodation. They might be a decent hotel but for me I got fu***d

Loved the property so much that we stayed twice. Excellent customer service. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were clean and we had no issues while staying here. I would recommend staying here as it is close to the market and local attractions. Wifi was strong and the staff allowed us to leave our luggage for a few hours while we explored the city after check out.
Caroline
The property is nice and rooms always clean. I also liked the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I will not hesitate to refer anybody for l was impressed by the cleanliness
UTTAM
Nice property at vwry convent place in Stone Town. All the staffa including manager ẁere very understanding and helpful. Highly recommended
Savannah
The rooms are spacious but unfortunately the windows are only made of wood meaning you can hear everything happening in the alley. The breakfast is pretty awesome and everything is walking distance. The East African Slavery Market Exhibit is right behind the hotel and the beach is only a 20 minute walk. Overall would recommend.
Robert
Good Luck Finding It
Tried to find this place with a car for over an hour. No parking remotely close. Felt very sketchy. No answer on phone at 10pm despite numerous calls even though we forewarned of arrival time.
sharmila
Highly, higly recommended. Beautifully decorated and reall friendly and helpful staff. Plus excellent location
GASASIRA KAKURU
The place is very nice and the people over there are very hospitable.
Jonathan
The staff at Zanzi house were excellent. They allowed us to leave our bags at the hotel whilst we went on Safari, before we had even checked in at the hotel. They also provided us early check in on our day of arrival in the morning and were very flexible. The hotel has a lot of history and the common area and upstairs balcony area has a great ambience. The rooms were comfortable as were the beds. This was a great value for money stay.
Don
The shower only came hot if you dribbled the water, no hair dryer available. The bed was small and hard. No town maps or directions, the safe did not work, their exchange rate was high, and In a very noisy neighborhood. The door had windows.to the corridor which had bright lights on all night. A miserable experience.
Javon

MAYRA
The hotel is clean, basic, a little price for what it is. The are around seems to be unsafe because there is a lot of people loitering and also dirty around. At night it can be very noisy, you have a mosque and church very near by so the call to pray is very loud at very early on the morning. If you are given an upper floor the stair is very narrow and steep so hard to handle with luggage

I was Ok with everything, price was good, place was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful.

O que se destacou? A equipe! O pessoal do café, da limpeza, da recepção. Quero agradecer especialmente ao rapaz que fez meu check in por todas as explicações, pela paciência e pela gentileza!
Thorvald
A simple but comfortable hotel with a great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful – they even stored our luggage while we went on a safari to Tanzania. Excellent service!

För kort säng och för kort täcke… hade inte koll på om vi betalar eller ej så med dåligt Wi-Fi fick vi leta fram bevis för att det var förbetalt.

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel de \"ville\", bien situé dans le centre de Stone Town à une dizaine de minutes des restaurants et de la plage principale.
Concernant l'hôtel, charmant petit hôtel avec une réception ouverte en tout temps, notre chambre donnait sur la rue et était tout de même bruyante,Petit bémol pour le lit, où le matelas était un peu dure à notre goùt.
