Bella struttura, migliorerei la pulizia dal calcare dai sanitari, il ventilatore molto rumoroso e la potenza del wi fi. Per il resto, ottima struttura pulita e in posizione comoda e servita

Great welcome, easy, small, cute, 2 double rooms only rented out each with private bathroom. very quaint but typically as in Stonetown, the windows face the alleys and you can hear people opten walking talking but normal for intown house. would still stay again. great value.

I highly recommend Hanaia House for an authentic local experience. The host and staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate my itinerary. I wish them all the best. – Ibrahim

I loved the charm of the old building. Breakfast was included and was very good. The famous Lukmaan restaurant is right around the corner. There is a mosque across the alley, so you will hear the call to prayer unless you’re a heavy sleeper. There is also street noise but it usually gets quieter the later it gets. There is no parking. Make sure the taxi driver points out the building because it’s very nondescript. Overall a great place to stay.

Très bien, nous y avons séjourné une nuit. Par contre stone Town est bruyant et il n’y a pas de fenêtre avec un vitrage. L’hôte est très sympathique et arrangeante.

Liten koselig hotell perfekt til kortere opphold i Stone Town. Rent og romslig, hyggelig og personlig betjening. Kan varmt anbefales!

Petit hôtel rustique, très accueillant avec des chambres propres, spacieuses et assez confortables. Bien situé pour visiter la vieille ville de Stone-Town et proche de la plage. Mais bruyant pour ceux qui ne supportent pas les bruits de la ville. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, à recommander.

Great location for exploring the town. I stayed in a ground-floor room near the front desk. The room faced the street, so I could hear people passing by, which made me a little nervous at first—but since it’s set further down the lane, it never felt like people were right outside my window, and it was nice and quiet at night. The staff were really friendly—when I was struggling with the entrance door key, they kindly came to help. Breakfast is served at a nearby restaurant, which was a nice touch. Thank you!

The property is conveniently located at the center of everything which is good and also not so good because of the constant noise day or night. I took the breakfast option, not so impressed because the choice is limited. The rooms are simply furnished but clean and comfortable. The property manager was super helpful, she went above and beyond to make sure that my stay worry free. I cannot say enough about the housekeeper, she is super nice and efficient. My biggest thing is the internet that was basically non existent except in the lobby. Otherwise the place is clean, staff friendly, helpful and welcoming, the area is safe. I wouldn't mind staying there again, I recommend it.

Tivemos uma estadia rápida, o quarto é bem confortável, a moça que nos recebeu e fez nosso checkout foi extremamente educada. Nos incomodou o quarto ser fechado com cadeado e o barulho, pois nosso quarto era em frente a rua. Mas recomendaria para uma estadia curta!

Cet hôtel est idéalement placé à Stone Town Au coeur de la ville, au milieu des habitants. C'est à taille humaine comme à la maison, respectant le cadre de Zanzibar L'équipe est adorable.

Lorrie • Couple Trip

Was very grateful the hotel was able to arrange for taxi pickup at the airport as our flight arrival was bumped back to 12:30 AM. The hotel also agreed to have someone available to check us in at 1 AM, otherwise we'd have never found it let alone been able to get in. However, when I gave the desk the USD to pay the taxi driver, she told me should would have my change in the morning when we checked out. She knew our next driver was arriving at 10 AM but she was nowhere to be found with my change. Be aware that the 5 AM call to prayer will wake you up if staying anywhere near Stone Town.

O quarto estava em boas condições de estrutura e limpeza, mas a estrutura do prédio de forma geral deixa um pouco a desejar. O quarto é muito escuro, mas a cama é muito boa. O chuveiro precisa de manutenção. A família que nos recebeu foi muito simpática e prestativa, mas não é exatamente um hotel.

Insgesamt eher eine Pension als ein Hotel. Von außen schwer auffindbar, da kein Schild an der Tür. Einchecken und auschecken war schlecht. Beim einchecken sprach keiner English und beim auschecken war niemand da. Die Zimmer sind klein aber ziemlich neu und nett möbliert. Im Erdgeschoss allerdings ohne irgendeine echte Aussicht. Der Innenhof ist klein und soll wohl den Frühstücksraum ersetzen. Man frühstückt zwischen aufgehänkter Wäsche. Insgesamt habe ich mehr für den Preis erwartet.

Äänieristys oli todella huono. Wc-tilat kaipasivat remonttia, wc kansi oli irti eikä suihkun viemäri vetänyt. Huone oli kyllä siististi sisustettu ja sänky oli mukava. Aamupala syödään erillisessä ravintolassa nurkan takana, siitä ei mitään kovin erikoista mainittavaa.
