Very clean. Rooms had air conditioning which was very much needed. Lockers are provided but they are small. Only for a little backpack. Staff was friendly. Excellent location with restaurants, shops, an ATM and various historical sites all within a 30 second to a few minutes walk.

The location is great. You’re less than a 5-10 minute walk from all the main sights in Stone Town. The beds were large and the hostel was clean. The dorms have A/C but the rest of the hostel does not. Overall it was good.

Great location for walking everywhere in Stone Town. The beds in the shared dormitories were excellent - large and private it almost felt like you had your own private room! Good safety with lockers and great water pressure for showers :) I got an airport transfer and it was lovely to be met with a sign for lost and found as I came out of the airport.

It’s not necessarily the accommodations fault but due to a lack of insect nets there were cockroaches frequently in the beds
Staff were really friendly and helpful and the location was great
