In the heart of the City Centre

Beautiful and clean hotel in close proximity to the Ferry Terminal. I highly recommend especially if in transit to and fro Zanzibar. The staff are very friendly and very willing to help at any time. The rooms are also beautiful and super clean.

Nice place, nice staff but the area around the hotel does not look too good. There are markets, low class restaurants and shops around the corner.

Eva, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Es ist ein sehr sehr sehr schlechtes Hotel. Ich habe viele Hotels in vielen Ländern in der Preiskategorie besucht und übernachtet. Das war bis heute das schlechteste Hotel überhaupt. Das Personal ist sehr unfreundlich. Es wird sogar untereinander geschrien und gebrüllt. Die Zimmer sind voller Schimmel. Direkt beim hineingehen in die Zimmer merkt man den Schimmel. Die Wände wurden übermalt, um den Schimmelbildung zu verstecken. Bei einem längeren Aufenthalt ist sogar von starken negativen Auswirkungenauf die Gesundheit auszugehen. Es ist wirklich alles alles schlimm hier.
Kerim, 2-night trip

Unprofessional management!
Valerio, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible Experience

We had a terrible experience at this hotel. We were first checked into a room that hadn't been cleaned and were then moved to the adjacent room which happened to be right next to the elevator. The walls are thin and we could hear everything from the next room. The front desk agents who checked us in were less than courteous and had attitudes when we brought forth the deficincies. The laundry misplaced one of the four items we sent for washing and had an attitude when we asked them about the missing item. The bellwoman, doorwoman, housekeeing and lunchroom staff were courteous however we wouldn't recommend this hotel for future stays.
