This is the first place I stayed in Africa, and overall it was a good place to start my trip.

This hotel is very clean and the staff is very helpful. The rooms have air conditioning and other amenities including cable t.v. with english programming. The area was very safe and I felt comfortable walking to and from the hotel alone.

I have stayed in many places in Stonetown but this is without doubt the best value for the low-middle budget traveller. Rooms are clean, the hot water is always reliable, the staff are most welcoming and will arrange anything for you. Breakfast is above average for the pricet (served outside in a fixed gazebo or alternatively in your room.) The... More
