We only spent one night at this hotel as a station for our next destination in Zanzibar. We arrived late at night and the check in was very fast and the guy assisted us with luggage. We were also allowed late check out till 12, as the normal check out was 10 in the morning, so very early especially for us that could only have a few hours of sleep. Although the hotel is decorated nicely, everything in it is so old. Very far from the photos. The room is so small you can barely pass at the edge of the bed to go to the other part of the room. There were lots of mosquitos in the room. The bed is big but looked like the sheets weren't so clean. There is an aroma dispenser in the room (probably to cover the smell of an old building) which makes a terrible sound frequently. As a result I could not sleep for even a minute. Just happy to see kids sleeping. Breakfast served was tasty but very tiny portions, even for my low appetite kids. But the girls serving were so polite and nice. Considering this is a third county and the hotel condition, the price of 95$ a night is so very overpriced. It didn't even deserve 35$. Looks like in Zanzibar they work with the philosophy "let us rip you off this time because probably you will not come ever again". Even the visa fee upon arrival tells the same, and for a family of 4 it's quite expensive to pay 200$ only for visa, especially in a country where government does no investment ( leaving bad roads, bad electricity, bad tap water supply ).
