The rooms are comfortable, air-conditioned dormitories in a youth hostel right in the center of Stone Town.

The best hostel in Stone Town for those who want good dormitory accommodation. Everything is new, functional and decorated with street art and relaxing colors (water green and gray). The dormitories, with their spacious beds, are equipped with a curtain to preserve everyone's privacy, a lamp, sockets and a locker, and the rooms are air-conditioned - a very important detail! One is for women only, while the second upstairs is mixed and has a balcony overlooking the street. The bathrooms are well-kept. Lounge with games, sofas, table soccer. Wifi.

Mauvaise surprise dès l'arrivée, il a fallut payer presque le double de ce qui était indiqué dans la résa booking, avec les taxes "spéciales Zanzibar" écrites en mini caractère évidemment et bien sûr il est impossible d'annuler sinon on paie presque l'intégralité du montant. Donc un total de 90€ pour 4 nuits ce qui est cher payé pour ce que c'est!
La propreté laisse à désirer, j'ai trouvé un énorme cafard dans la chambre et des fourmis, leurs douches sont bouchées, les draps ne sentent pas le frais, il manque régulièrement de papier WC qu'il faut réclamer, la vaisselle mise à dispo n'est pas propre non plus..
Ils se permettent de débarquer dans la chambre à n'importe quelle heure pour faire le ménage ou présenter le dortoir à d'autres personnes, mais c'est unisexe donc le garde masculin n'est pas censé rentrer il me semble ou doit au moins toquer avant d'entrer, idem piur ne pas me réveiller par exemple..
Heureusement j'y étais en saison basse donc beaucoup de place pour moi toute seule mais je n'imagine pas lorsque le dortoir est rempli de 15 filles avec tous les sacs, il n'y a que de tout petits casiers individuels..
Ceci dit, l'auberge est centrale, très bien placée proche centre, restos, boutiques, marchés et plages, les lits sont grands, la coin fonctionne bien, l'eau est chaude et le personnel plutôt aimable.

Decent hostel but wouldn't spend the whole time here if in the city for multiple days. Difficult to communicate with staff beforehand to book a taxi from the airport. A/C in dorm rooms but not in the rest of the building, and the showers were musty.

It's a great place for a night stay, less expensive about 17$ a night.
Free WiFi
Comfy Working space (2nd floor) with balcony space if you want to sit up.

It's a nice place, I hope to give a visit again.

Our group was very disappointed. After checking out we realised that we have been overcharged by about 50%. (they made us pay late at night when we had just landed and hadn't got used to the currency). We didn't think the hostel would be insincere to charge us a wrong rate.
Infact we were charged 4* what we were expecting to pay because they also had a tax that was more than the room price. (which is not easily seen on the booking)
In any case, once we realised that we were overcharged by twice, we got in contact with the hostel. Unfortunately they were unwilling to budge on a refund, despite admitting they had made a mistake. (we had another booking with them to return 12 days later)
My friend spoke to the manager about this who was rude and didn't seem willing to resolve the issue. We had to stay here again to avoid losing the money we were wrongly charged. I just can't believe that a hostel would overcharge and then have such a bad attitude about giving a refund on their own mistake. Shockingly appalling.
Overall the facilities were to be expected for a budget hostel. Although know now that the hostel costs 15$ rather than 6$ I do think this is expensive for what it is.
