The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always there to give advice or just for a chat. I came in and heard people chatting and laughing, real good atmosphere, directly met nice people and got some advice about where to go and so on. The room also was amazing! You had you’re own space that offered incredibly much privacy considering you’re in a dorm of a hostel and it was really comfortable! The bed practically felt like your own room in a room. The location also is perfect to discover Stown Town. Really amazing, thank you!

When we went to bed a mouse jumped out of the bed from underneath the cushion. Normally the hostel was clean all over, so it was just one moment of excitement...
Great location to explore the city center. Very friendly and super welcoming staff, cheap bottled water, bathrooms very clean and well equipped and beds in the dorm very very comfortable!!

Was probably really nice a year ago. Now its already becoming a bit run down. It's too bad, the building quality is just real low.
Air conditioning, great internet, great location. With some quick renovations it will be back at a 10 soon enough

Nabil and Nicole have sorted out a great little spot in the touristic center of Stone Town. Within 5-10min of pretty much anything + the beds are big and comfy, there is a bar (cheapest beer I could find), they have AC(!!!), and the place is very clean with super friendly and helpful staff.

The ‘social’ area outside the rooms is small and way too hot and stuffy so there isn’t a social vibe. If people do socialise, it is in the dorm as it’s airconned
Dorms large, big beds, air conditioning which is needed in Zanzibar! Bathrooms clean. Owner is accommodating and helpful
