Basic hostel without bar or restaurant or breakfast in the heart of Stonetown.

就在主幹道上,離碼頭很近,很幸運的給了我一個雙人的床位,所以睡起來很舒服,每個床位還都有充足的插頭,洗澡也方便、算是舒適。

The staff is unbelievably friendly and kind. The room’s AC is perfect and the concept, of the bunkbeds “in the wall” is super, the curtain gives plenty of privacy and the shower is big and clean. The bed in the dormitory is quite expensive, because of the tax, but the hostel is directly in the centre of stone town, 2mins from beach and 2mins from town.
The owner is super nice and showed a lot of kindness.
For backpackers, totally appropriate and with a sofa in the hall to meet other people.

Awesome location, lovely staff and very spacious Dormitories. Ac included. Sure the bathroom isn't the most modern, but it was clean and functional. Very good value for the price!

There are a lot of ants.
I changed the bed by myself.
The victim of the ants was the bed in the back left of the second floor.
From now on, I will not bring in food, even if I am tired, I will completely close the sealed bag.Scary,bad dream for Japanese.
Why is the house not properly sealed? I think there is a problem with the architecture.

Shared rooms, the cheapest place in Stone Town, Zanzibar.

I appreciated that there are 3 bathrooms/showers, so if one is wet from a shower, you can just pick another one.
Rooms and beds are really good.
For me, personally, the AC was too cold.
But I grabbed 2 other thin blankets from other beds which were free after getting permission to do so from the receptionist :D Still had to put on some clothes after some hours, but that was warm enough then ^^
Asante sana! :)

Great location. Very friendly staff.
Very very basic, even for a hostel. Very loud. Staff are easy to hear sitting outside your room early in the morning and late at night.

Best hostel I’ve stayed at in East Africa! This is an extremely clean, well kept, modern and lively hostel with great facilities and a perfect location.

There are really nice private (but shared) bathrooms and showers, with strong water pressure and hot water. The common areas are super nice and the entire place has great wifi and international wall plugs for foreign travellers. The rooms are also equipped with great air conditioning which is a must in this area. Hostel provided nice linens and towels too!

As a solo female backpacker, I always try to find the best and safest female dorms, and these ones were amazing! The staff was also super friendly and accommodating when it came to organizing little trips via their affiliated tour company, and getting me rather cheap airport transport.

Would highly recommend this hostel to all and maybe even come again in the future!

Mauvaise surprise dès l'arrivée, il a fallut payer presque le double de ce qui était indiqué dans la résa booking, avec les taxes "spéciales Zanzibar" écrites en mini caractère évidemment et bien sûr il est impossible d'annuler sinon on paie presque l'intégralité du montant. Donc un total de 90€ pour 4 nuits ce qui est cher payé pour ce que c'est!
La propreté laisse à désirer, j'ai trouvé un énorme cafard dans la chambre et des fourmis, leurs douches sont bouchées, les draps ne sentent pas le frais, il manque régulièrement de papier WC qu'il faut réclamer, la vaisselle mise à dispo n'est pas propre non plus..
Ils se permettent de débarquer dans la chambre à n'importe quelle heure pour faire le ménage ou présenter le dortoir à d'autres personnes, mais c'est unisexe donc le garde masculin n'est pas censé rentrer il me semble ou doit au moins toquer avant d'entrer, idem piur ne pas me réveiller par exemple..
Heureusement j'y étais en saison basse donc beaucoup de place pour moi toute seule mais je n'imagine pas lorsque le dortoir est rempli de 15 filles avec tous les sacs, il n'y a que de tout petits casiers individuels..
Ceci dit, l'auberge est centrale, très bien placée proche centre, restos, boutiques, marchés et plages, les lits sont grands, la coin fonctionne bien, l'eau est chaude et le personnel plutôt aimable.

Decent hostel but wouldn't spend the whole time here if in the city for multiple days. Difficult to communicate with staff beforehand to book a taxi from the airport. A/C in dorm rooms but not in the rest of the building, and the showers were musty.

It's a great place for a night stay, less expensive about 17$ a night.
Free WiFi
Comfy Working space (2nd floor) with balcony space if you want to sit up.

It's a nice place, I hope to give a visit again.

Our group was very disappointed. After checking out we realised that we have been overcharged by about 50%. (they made us pay late at night when we had just landed and hadn't got used to the currency). We didn't think the hostel would be insincere to charge us a wrong rate.
Infact we were charged 4* what we were expecting to pay because they also had a tax that was more than the room price. (which is not easily seen on the booking)
In any case, once we realised that we were overcharged by twice, we got in contact with the hostel. Unfortunately they were unwilling to budge on a refund, despite admitting they had made a mistake. (we had another booking with them to return 12 days later)
My friend spoke to the manager about this who was rude and didn't seem willing to resolve the issue. We had to stay here again to avoid losing the money we were wrongly charged. I just can't believe that a hostel would overcharge and then have such a bad attitude about giving a refund on their own mistake. Shockingly appalling.
Overall the facilities were to be expected for a budget hostel. Although know now that the hostel costs 15$ rather than 6$ I do think this is expensive for what it is.

Probably the best hostel in Zanzibar City. Rooms equiped with AC which is absolutely a must here. The only but would be that they should regulate the AC with a bit higher temperature as I needed to sleep in my sweater????
