Stayed here for a night, I had a single room with my own bathroom. The room was nice sized with a narrow bathroom. The room had working AC and the bed and sheets were very comfortable. Free breakfast on the rooftop with an amazing view!! Very accommodating staff and reasonable price. Next time I’m in stone town I’ll will definitely stay here again.

Matress is fine and we slept well. The breakfast was really weak. A small banana and a slice of bread. Impossible to adapt to guests requests/diet. Moreover, we were missing 7$ to pay the boat. At the reception it was suggested to exchange there for 20.000 shilling. It means 2850tsh for 1$ : 24% commission!!! If you just want to sleep that is fine. If you expect a customer service, let's forget this place.

(Translated by Google) Hostel in passing. In my case, the room did not give much desire to sleep in it, it was old and the mosquito net was broken. It's very run down in general. The bathroom is shared and has hot water. The location is excellent in the heart of Stone town. Breakfast is served on the terrace with spectacular views of the city, that is very basic. (Original) Hostel de paso. En mi caso en la habitación no daban muchas ganas de dormir en ella, estaba vieja y la mosquitera rota. Esta muy descuidado en general. El baño es compartido y tiene agua caliente. La ubicación es excelente en pleno centro de Stone town. El desayuno te lo sirven en la terraza con unas vistas espectaculares de la ciudad, eso si es muy básico.

(Translated by Google) The Hostel is in the heart of Stone Town and within easy reach of the city's main attractions. The staff are super attentive and gave us valuable tips on what to do and where to eat. It is located on a high floor and has a roof top with a view of the whole city. It is very simple but everything very clean. We stayed 3 nights and found it good value for money. (Original) O Hostel fica no coração de Stone Town e com fácil acesso as principais atrações da cidade. O staff é super atencioso e nos deram dicas valiosas do que fazer e onde comer. Fica em um sobrado bem alto e tem um roof top com uma vista da cidade toda. É bem simples mas tudo muito limpo. Ficamos 3 noites e achamos uma boa relação custo benefício.

(Translated by Google) The place is quite peculiar, but amazing! It is called like that because it grows as one goes upstairs! Not recommended for heavy bags / backpacks (although there is someone who helps you upload them) since you can be between the 3rd and 5th floors. The terrace is above the rest of the techis and has a super interesting view of stone town. The incredible service, all very attentive and helpful. It is not a place suitable for wheelchairs. (Original) El lugar es bastante peculiar, pero increíble! Se llama así porque va creciendo a medida que uno va subiendo de piso! No recomendable para maletas/mochilas muy pesadas (a pesar de que hay alguien que te ayuda a subirlas) ya que puedes estar entre el piso 3 y 5. La terraza esta por encima del resto de los techis y tiene una vista super interesante de stone town. El servicio increible, todos muy atentos y serviciales. No es un lugar apto para sillas de ruedas.

I am Nepalese but even though I don't know here, the people here are respectful and helpful. The workers of this hotel are friendly. I like the hotel 😍😍😍😍

Good Value for money. We took a standard twin roon so they gave on 3rd floor and stairs are too high.. no lift.. no AC. Bathroom is comman.

Great value for money! Location was good. Awesome rooftop and breakfast included. The rooms were clean and aircon worked great. If you want a nice cheap option then I highly recommend this place. Boss also took us out to help us buy a SIM cards which was such a huge help. Asante sana!

They have the most good services with clean rooms and a nice view at the room balcony. The breakfast is nice and all stuff members are cooperative. Its simply a nice place while in Zanzibar.

The rooms with ensuite bathrooms are great. Don't pack heavy suitcases because the stairs make it hard to get "bottoms up" :D For the price it's great.

I stayed there one night in twin room. For that kind of money it’s pretty good. Pros: nice rooftop, close to the centre and ferry, friendly staff (made us a packed breakfast before we had to leave early), clean room. Cons: shared bathroom/shower needs a refreshment, generally a bit old feeling. Good if you need a cheap place to stay in Stone town or catch a ferry.

One of the best hidden gems in Zanzibar. Firstly you will feel that it's an old place. They have budget rooms, dormitory and private rooms with private bathrooms. The breakfast was nice with spectacular views of Zanzibar. They have a parrot and you can whistle and play with him.

Good location

Terrible service, terrible hotel, terrible manager!! not safe at all. I stayed for one night on 30th December 2021, and My Camera Canon D5300 was stolen at the reception on the day of my arrival. I never get any assistance from the hotel, the hotel manager never picks his phones nor reply to texts messages. All they do is lying even to the police and try not to take any responsibility. Almost three months have passed by,and i haven't got any answers from them if I'm ever going to find who stole my camera at their reception. I would recommend that hotel to anyone AT ALL!! Terrible everything

Lots of stairs but beautiful place, the dorm is huge. Hot showers and plenty of fans so it is fairly cool

This place is more of a warehouse than a hotel. It looks like messy student dorms until you reach level 3, where common area becomes eerie looking . Rooms were hotter than outside and cluttered - beds in the middle of the room and the view through a window is a dirty wall 3 meters away. Service was robotic and they even tried to trick us for couple dollars. I really don't understand the rave reviews for this place. Breakfast on the roof and good strong warm shower were the only things saving this place from a bad review.

Close to bus terminal and ferry, close to idea ocean, good wifi but only in reception area, possiblity of early check in and late check out

(Translated by Google) There is also a fridge, a large dorm, and a good view of the roof top. (Original) 냉장고도 있고 도미토리도 넓고 루프탑의 전망이 좋다

Ideal place to spend a night or two, the staff is amazing, very friendly and helpful!

Weird place but super nice host. They help with everything. Super friendly

Perfect shot

Good value for money, friendly and helpful staff, room (dorm) is spacious, beds are large and comfortable, beautiful terrace with a view of the city, good location (perfect for shopping) but unfortunately not accessible by taxi, many stairs - you should be good to be on your feet, breakfast included but a bit meager, sometimes there was no water, chairs on the terrace need to be repaired, toilet lids could be exchanged... at least for that price absolutely okay

This is cheap but the building is dilapidated and very old. The rooftop is mainly occupied by birds. The bedding is small and the air conditioning almost non-existent. However the view from the roof is nice and the hostel is not too far from Forodhani park.

Very nice staff and good value. 5 minute walk from anywhere in stone town and the beach

Great value for the money. Its very close to everything you need to visit in Stone Town. Luckily we had room on the first floor, there are soooo many steep and narrow stairs. Good view from the rooftoop "bar". You kinda get the idea and orientation for the small streets in that part of the city. Basic breakfast, eggs and toasted bread, watermelon and orange. Staff very friendly, showed us around what we needed, exchanged money for us with a good rate, didn't try to rip us off, helped us with the bags. For a short stay - day or two, its amazing deal.

During my holidays everything was fantastic, and no less important, the WiFi es very fast in comparative with other places that I was. Staff and tours recommended 💯. Asante Sana / Shokran

For the price of a room with private bathroom it is difficult to beat in stone town. Its budget friendly so don't expect 5 star hotel, but I have nothing to complaint about.

Hyvällä sijainnilla, nätti kattoterassi. Huoneet hyvin äänekkäitä ja käytävällä olevat vessat likaisia, suihku ei toiminut. Ilmastointi huoneessa ja mukava palvelu plussaa.

Nice place, convient to many local areas around town, about its location, well! What do you expect..... 🤷‍♂️ Stone town= old town. 👏👏

A fine place in the heart of Stone Town. They have a rooftop view.

Competitive prices but this place has the best #internet. Really super fast internet. Little mosquitoes but have nets. Everything is great. Breakfast super basic. #wifi

Loads of stairs to climb, particularly to the the top rooms and rooftop lookout which I suppose is worthwhile once up there as the view is ok. Booked a double room which was small. Bed was really uncomfortable. No sheets supplied apart from what looked like a half size table cloth across the bed. Had to use this as a cover. Toilet did not flush properly so always smelly. Breakfast was not good at all for the price you pay.... A few pieces of bread and an egg. Paid 65,000tsh for a room I thought was only worth half that. Also my room was directly below rooftop lookout which had wooden floor so struggled to sleep with people talking, laughing and stomping until late hours.. Very disappointing. Good views from upstairs tho.

Stairs case is long and they sell beer so drunkards can be common. Hard to find even on map without local guide due to inside similar alleys.

$9 a night.

Dirty, noisy, old

Room was big with mosquito nets, roof top terrace and free breakfast were great. However, bathroom is very old and shower does not have water every day and be prepared to have an early start since the street noise is pretty loud.

It is OK for 1-2 nights stay. We likeed the location. They can work on their cleanliness

In the center an good for the price, a nice view from the top terrace floor

Very nice staff, clean rooms, Nice view on the rooftop. But be carefull, I got à jolt in one of the bathroom while taking à shower !

Good view of the city at the top

Good location to explore Stone town. Friendly staff. Nice rooftop for breakfast. The building is old and so are the beds and mattress. Very noisy: scooters, pigeons, mosque... don't expect to get much sleep. For me the worst was this little parrot suspended above the stairs who looks so miserable in his cage. Overall: overpriced for what you get.

Great value for money. Fantastic location in Stone Town. All attractions are walking distance away. Dorms have no AC, just the ventilators, which can be challenging in the summer, but its not too bad.

(Translated by Google) Very steep staircase, dangerous limit, be careful! Very friendly staff. Average value for money. (Original) Escalier très raide, limite dangereux, attention ! Personnel très sympa. Rapport qualité prix moyen.

(Translated by Google) Everything is ok. Modestly, but clean, etc. You can order trips with them, they have prices better than those proposed in the city (it's still worth haggling). (Original) Wszystko ok. Skromnie, ale czysto, itd. Można z nimi zamawiać wycieczki, mają ceny lepsze niż te proponowane na mieście (i tak warto się jeszcze targować).

Fantastic drinks. Super staff. Gorgeous atmosphere.

In centre of Stowntown with nice view at rooftop, there are different rooms with shower and WC and without

Hello uma anna stay safe and keep rocking

(Translated by Google) Excellent option to stay near the main attractions of Stone Town, the ferry terminal, the waterfront and in the middle of the passages full of nooks and crannies to discover. We stayed in one of the top floor rooms and the view is great. The room is very nice and comfortable as well as the shared bathroom. The neighborhood is a bit noisy because of the prayers that are heard all the time, but it is part of the grace of the place. Highly recommended! (Original) Excelente opción para alojarse cerca de los principales lugares de interés de Stone Town, de la terminal de ferry, de la costanera y en medio de los pasajes llenos de recovecos para descubrir. Nos alojamos en una de las habitaciones del último piso y la vista es fantástica. La habitación muy linda y cómoda al igual que el baño compartido. El barrio es un poco ruidoso por los rezos que se escuchan a cada rato, pero es parte de la gracia del lugar. Muy recomendado!

(Translated by Google) Very pretty!! Very friendly!!!! (Original) Muy bonito!! Muy amable!!!!

Quiet little place with great rooms and an amazing view from the terrace. Great value for money

The best view ever

(Translated by Google) Affordable youth hostel. Quite generous breakfast included in the price. Rooftop overlooking the town of stone town and the ocean, very well placed! (Original) Auberge de jeunesse à prix abordable. Petit déjeuner assez copieux compris dans le prix. Rooftop avec vue sur la ville de stone town ainsi que sur l'océan, très bien placé !

(Translated by Google) Good breakfast view of the city nice room (Original) Dobra snidane vyhled na mesto hezky pokojik

You get what you pay for.

Location and price are OK, but way too dirty and quite worn out. Breakfast is also quite frugal

No rooms available even though there was one left on bookings. Com. Had to walk for miles to find another place. Bad service.

(Translated by Google) Especially noisy place, impossible to sleep from the pull. In my bed there was a cockroach. View from the top roof good. (Original) Lugar especialmente ruidoso, imposible dormir del tirón. En mi cama había una cucaracha. Vista desde el top roof buena.
