    Our room was well priced and new-fashioned, included air conditioning and a work desk. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the staff was very, very nice. The property was in the middle of the city.

    The staff we met were highly unprofessional.

    Deluxe, clean place with magnificent views. Amazing staff, well priced double room. Particularly good location, a 4-6 minute walk from Stone Town. Close to the Old Fort and sea, the airport, and easy sightseeing.

    The room was reasonably priced and new-fashioned with a private bathroom. the view was great. - There was a bathtub, a plus for me. - It was a magnificent location next to the historic center, with many shops and restaurants nearby, as well as the fort. I had a lovely stay at the 189 Gizenga House in Zanzibar. the room was a good value and had modern amenities like a private bathroom. I really enjoyed the great view and having a bathtub was an added bonus for me. the hotel's location next to the historic center was fantastic, with plenty of shops and restaurants to explore nearby, as well as the fort.

    The hotel has a great location, being central and within easy reach of all the main tourist attractions and shops, making it convenient to get around. The staff were also accommodating and helpful, and the internet connection in the room was one of the best we have had.

    The hotel doesn't provide luxury as it is a budget-friendly hotel, but guests need to be aware that they might end up in a room facing a noisy road. Furthermore, some guests complained about unpleasant smells coming from the bathroom and additional charges applied on their stay.

    The hotel had great location and was situated near the main tourist attractions and shops. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked well during our stay, and the room was clean and comfortable.

    The bathroom had a bad smell, and sometimes it was unbearable. the staff was unprofessional and unhelpful.

    We had a great stay at this hotel! The location was perfect - right in the heart of the city center and within walking distance to all the attractions. The staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a nice size and a quiet atmosphere at night. We also loved the rooftop view of the Old Fort and the sea, it was truly breathtaking. we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back!

    This place is highly recommended for everyone.

    Being central offered us convenience and saved us time and money. Our room was clean and comfortable with a responsive air conditioning unit.

    Some guests were noisy in the middle of the night, which happened to disturb our sleep.
