"This hotel served as a convenient base from which to explore old Stone Town."

8.0

It is an original local Arab style house that has been improved for modern expectations, and is situated in the very heart of the old town.

The Air Con. unit was very noisy.

"Bon emplacement mais petit déjeuner décevant"

7.0

L’emplacement au cœur de la vieille ville.

Petit déjeuner pourrait être mieux (peu de choix et peu qualitatif).

"בסך הכל מי שלא מפריע לו קריאות במגפון מהמסגדים יכול להנות ולהיות שבע רצון במלון הזה."

8.0

הצוות מקסים ונענה לכל הבקשות. המיקום מרכזי ביותר. העיצוב של המלון והחדרים מיוחד ונעים. האוויר והנוף מקומת הגג שבה נמצאת המסעדה מושלמים. מנהל המלון, אדם נעים, חם ועוזר בכל מה שצריך. האוכל במסעדה טעים. זרם המים מצויין, מים חמים בשפע ומזגן מצויין בחדרים.

את המלון מקיפים מסגדים ולכן 5 פעמים ביום שומעים חזק את קריאות המואזין כולל ב 4:00 בבוקר. המחירים במסעדה של המלון מאוד יקרים.

Die Lage ist optimal, man kann alle Sehenswürdigkeiten von dort erkunden, ist aber trotzdem nicht mittendrin.

Vielleicht sollte die Bezeichnung "Pool" eine andere Beschreibung bekommen oder gestrichen werden.
