This is an absolutely horrible hotel in every aspect. Avoid it at all costs! It's overpriced and deserves maximum 1 or 2 stars. The rooms are so moldy, I could hardly breathe and sleep at night! It felt like I would breathe in all those mold spores. Also, be prepared to be woken up at 5am by a nearby mosque.
Additionally to the horrible old rooms, the hotel management seems to like to rip off their clients: As I had some stomach problems, I kindly asked for some porridge for breakfast instead of the fatty, sweet and unhealthy breakfast they offer. They asked me to pay 10 USD (!) for that porridge, which is unbelievable because it's like the cheapest breakfast you could have! What a scam! Furthermore, the Nepali guy at the reception is very disrespectful and has no manners! He should not work in tourism.
This is a hotel for backpacker and not worth more than 10 or 20 USD a night. I really don't understand the good reviews. Avoid it!

Quaint hotel. On the small road inside Stone Town. Breakfast fruit buffet, coffee and tea buffet. Order your own breakfast. Freshly cooked mushrooms and beans. Egg um column. Bread toast. very satisfied.
Radiation therapy is relatively small. The hotel arranged for a barge to pick up and travel to Turtle Island. Taxis are also arranged by the hotel. The price is cheap.

.The staff and manager were so helpful and organised a trip at short notice to prison islands. The beds were very comfortable, the house staff were great and the towels were always in a lovely design and great service . The breakfast on the terrace was lovely. Would recommend a stay if you are in stone town .
