Good
Breakfast was perfectly good - fresh fruit, coffee, Spanish omelet taken on the rooftop terrace. The location is good for Stonetown and easily accessible by vehicle for pick up and drop off.(possibly an issue with centrally located B&B) The road is however a little noisy as its at the entrance to the port. Air con in room excellent- beds lovely- bathroom also good. Its a good honest simple place. A 1950s or 60s building Id guess. Not much character less the beds and the rooftop eating area. Easy walk into Stone town centre - minutes.
The road was noisy at times.

Very nice room with attention to detail and support for local businesses. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast on the rooftop.
Located along a busy street, it can get a little bit noisy in the early morning

Hugely convenient location for the ferry and easy to walk to any part of town in 10/15 minutes. Room was big and comfortable with room to spread out. The staff were all attentive and smiling even through some evident context based language issues.
It is on the route directly off and on to the ferry so can have very noisy traffic outside.

Great location, friendly staff, great breakfast so overall very happy with the choice. Location is very central so it's quite easy to walk to a lot of places.

Poor
Looked ok in photos
The pillows were very very thin and the pillow cases were dirty with stains. Asked for fresh pillows but they returned with pillow cases only which were also dirty. We showed the staff the dirty stains but didnt care.
Was advertised with free WiFi but it did not work at all. We raised this also at reception and were told that this was not their problem while the guys on the desk were on the internet themselves.
Shared bathroom for a few rooms, not very secure and didnt feel safe using them.
No elevator in hotel so we had to carry our luggage up and down the several flights of stairs ourselves.

Very nice and accommodating. Brought me cold and hot water (make own tea or coffee, plentiful tea bags and a glass full of ground coffee to choose from) as I was shown my room. Very firm mattress, which to me is a good thing. Excellent shared (like among the three rooms on the floor) bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink; everything worked perfectly or as expected. The WiFi was solid too. Breakfast is on the roof (dont worry, theres lots of shade up there) and it was great. My room also had a balcony. There was both a ceiling fan and an AC unit in the room. Everything was excellent.

One of the best hotels we've stayed at. The location is good, and the rooms are breathtaking. The hotel owners warmly welcomed us with a welcome drink and took the time to give us detailed travel tips and insights about Stone Town. Additionally, the breakfast was fantastic, further enhancing our experience. I highly recommend this accommodation!

Very spacious and beautifully decorated with locally made items. Good breakfast on the rooftop. Helpful staff. On the main road (ie. not pedestrianised road) which was useful for taxi drop off/pick up.

Friendly staff, good breakfast. Central position. Good size double room.
Noise and dust from the port traffic outside.
The cafe was closed due to low demand during covid

The property was so clean and spacious. The staff are beyond helpful and happy. We actually booked a tour through them and they organised towels and some fruit for us. The breakfast was quick and the coffee was exceptional (best in Zanzibar yet) on the rooftop. The hotel is amongst the hustle and bustle however they offered free parking that was really great. For value for money this hotel is great, and the owner was amazing in suggesting places to go/eat and see.
Nothing the property ticked every box we needed. The bathroom wasnt attached to our room but it was still private and the water pressure was good with constant hot water, great!
