This hotel isn't the Hilton by any means but if you are looking for a safe, clean budget hotel this would be it. Didn't see any bugs (we've had issues in other tropical hotels) and the room was very clean!

In the heart of the City Centre

Beautiful and clean hotel in close proximity to the Ferry Terminal. I highly recommend especially if in transit to and fro Zanzibar. The staff are very friendly and very willing to help at any time. The rooms are also beautiful and super clean.
