Nice hotel with issues.

“Beautiful historic building. Great location. Great food”
Worth knowing: Front desk staff needs training. They acted like they were all new and didn’t know what was going on. Example: I called to see how much a shirt cost to launder. Front desk, “Bring it down and we’ll find out”. Also, It took an hour to check in

“Rooftop-Restaurant. Badezimmer.”
Worth knowing: Liegt in einer schäbigen Baustellengegend. Wir hatten das Deluxe Zimmer unten neben der Rezeption, das extrem dunkel und sehr laut war. Das Haus renoviert, aber wirkt trotzdem oll und muffig, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist wirklich eine Unverschämtheit. Insgesamt ist Stone Town einfach furchtbar, wäre unser Flug nicht morgens um 8 Uhr gegangen, hätten wir auch nicht hier übernachtet. Ich würde das vermeiden. Es gibt nicht wirklich etwas zu sehen, es ist sehr laut (u.a. ein Iman übertönt den anderen auch nachts), es ist dreckig und die Menschen sind extrem aufdringlich, man kann kaum einen Schritt machen, ohne ununterbrochen ,angesprochen‘ zu werden. Sehr schade als Erfahrung des letzten Tages einer Reise.

“Based on what was advertised on booking dot com verses in person arrival was not the same. I had to pay an additional amount to upgrade. Very unhappy.”
