    Everything, the location (we could walk to most of the places of interest, particulally the Forodhani market), the staff and the accommodation.

    Excellent value. The rooms are huge and well decorated. The breakfast is super cute. The location is ideal, in the heart of Stone Town while being in a relatively quiet area. Thanks to Mary and the rest of the staff for making our stay very pleasant.

    24시간 비행후 아침일찍 도착 했습니다. 직원들은 아침식사를 먹을수 있도록 해주고, 방이 준비될때까지 거실에서 쉴수 있도록 해주었습니다. 아침식사는 심플하지만 , 매일 메뉴가 바뀌었고 구성이 아주 좋았습니다. 직원들이 친절하고 편안하게 대해주어서 체크아웃후에도 아침식사를 하러 먹기위해 들렀어요. 중안 정원은 마치 정글에 들어와 있는듯하고 아름답습니다. 역사가 있는 건물이고, 아름답게 꾸며져 있습니다 여전히 모든 곳과 가깝지만...
