The hotel overbooked and so told us that they didn't have a reservation for us after a long and exhausting journey. Luckily, we found a better hotel near by. AVOID THIS HOTEL.

Steve's review
We were very happy with the location of the hotel from where one can order a Uber or a Tuk Tuk for transport. Supermarkets and shops are within reasonable walking distance. The staff were available to clean the room every day and the room itself was nice an spacious with an ensuite shower room. There were two tables, two chairs as well as a refridgerator and a television. It was nice to have breakfast included which consisted of an omelette, bread,butter, jam, tea coffee, juice etc.

good location, fair price, nice terrace
We stayed two nights in separate periods. Once in double and once in triple. The double room faces the roof terrace (internal court) and was quite pleasing. The triple room (room 20) was next to the kitchen and the smell and noise were very disturbing. Overall cleanliness could be definitely improved, and we had both times to ask for towels.

Not worth the effort.
This place is an absolute hoax, I highly recommend you never stay here unless you love to share your room with cockroaches. Also don't expect your complaints to be addressed and should you find yourself having to check out and requesting your refund, you are given less than 15 mins to vacate as if you were an unruly guest. Kindly delete this place from your database.

Dirty, smelly, unpleasent
Almost vomited from the smells. Photos on web of hotel misrepresent how dirty, dingy and disgusting this hotel is. After sleepless night I checked out without compensation. Creepy hotel with zero amenities. Most unpleasant shower and room decor. No internet, no beer sold as it’s Muslim halal hotel. Disgusting hotel

Liked: Staff & service
nice hostel but quite dirty. The rooms are OK-ish but I got an electric shock in the shower because of the electric heater system. The wifi didnt work properly in the rooms. The AC and the ventilator were quite poor, the window in the bathroom was broken and the light over it almost falling. The only window in the room was boarded up. Sadly, I think the price of the rooms is WAY TOO HIGH for the comfort !

as expected, a good value in a great location
I've stayed here before so I knew what to expect. It was as expected. This is a get-what-you-pay-for hotel. It is inexpensive but in a great location. Nothing special, a little run down, but clean and comfortable.

Great experience, staff was great
The staff was great and it was a perfect location for exploring old town and the dicks and business district. Great tour of Swahili old town with tour guide who is employed by Fort. Aircon and fan worked great as did television also nice to have a refrigerator in the room . excellent breakfast served out on a very nice open courtyard in the top center of the building open ait, nice plants around. thus place has tons of charm.

Good location, dated interior
The hotel is in the area with lots of banks and financial institutions. Its a bit dated inside, but everything works - shower, ceiling fan, air conditioning, fridge, TV. I couldn't get the wi-fi to cooperate much though. Service is quick, willing and polite. The manager is really helpful and even showed me to a really good salon where I had a great pedicure. The breakfast is filling and the beds are clean. There are two quite basic restaurants downstairs and a snackbar area serving soda, hot drinks and cakes. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.

Staff are helpful and breakfast is good. The rooms condition and clealiness can be improved tremendously but at the special rate, guess the stay matched the cash.
