Just book it. Rooms are small but light and cheerful with big Zanzibari beds (with mosquito nets), powerful ceiling fans, pretty paint job and a safe for your valuables. The rooftop terrace is superb with great views. That's where you can get wifi. Breakfast is served up there - toast, fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs cooked to order, fruit, tea,... More

If you need bed&breakfast only this is a good place. The terrace has a panoramic view. The internet wireless speed is pretty good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located near the places of turist interest.

The location is great, in the middle of Stone Town, and is made even better by the big communal terrace on the fourth floor, overlooking the town and with a view of... More

Good clean rooms, tasteful decorations and a wonderful roof terrace made this a place great stop-over in Stone Town on the way to the East Coast. The hosts are kind, friendly and really helpful, and little touches such as the library and the drinks fridge with its honesty system were appreciated. There is a lovely spice shop just below by...

For an inexpensive hotel in Stone Town this place was wonderful. Lisenka and the staff were very very helpful and friendly, its a great location and the breakfast on the roof was very very good. They were also very good at arranging tours and helping with transportation to the beaches.
