Staffs are so kind. Price is reasonable. Location is good in that it is middle of Main Street in Stonetown. Cleanliness is pretty good. Breakfast isn’t served. Bathroom is shared by all guests. Even if it is dormitory type, bed is private because of curtains and separate wall. Many bag backers stay here.

I’m not sure why this hostel is highly rated. Was planning on staying two nights initially but left the next morning. The mixed dorm room is far too overcrowded for the number of people in it, also really stuffy. There is really small lockers to leave valuables, but no where else to leave bags apart from the bed you sleep on as floor space was negligee. There is an A/C, but it’s very weak and impossible to cool a room with a capacity of 20 people. Everyone was sweltering in the heat and sweat. The dorms and toilets were clean.

A wonderful location at the heart of Stone Town. A lot of good restaurants, places to visit and boats to take to the different islands are a walking distance. Its also very good for budget traveler (keep in mind that when I was there in October of 2021, they had a discount and it was 15$ per night.)Peli, the receptionist was a wonderful host. She was very welcoming and helpful.The rooms are clean. I love how they have plugs available for each bed. I stayed in the female only dorm and I was lucky to be the only one staying for two out of the three nights I spent there. I can imagine it being very crowded since the dorm could accommodate up to 14 people. The bathrooms are clean in the morning and could use frequent cleaning since its a shared space.

Definitely the best hostel in town… believe me. Awesome sectioned off beds, clean and the staff are lovely :)

Pili (not sure if the name is written correctly), the girl at the reception was super nice, helpful and professional.They also have the most spacious do beds I have ever seen in hundreds of hostels.In the hostel I also met only nice travelers, and the travel and hostel community really reminded of what I loved meeting about traveling so much in the first place.They also have lockers for security that I didnt even feel I needed too much, and the location is great.Only on one day and Egyptian who couldnt speak English properly was at the reception (there is another Egyptian, he was also very nice), and he seemed not to know how hostels work and how important social competence is. He seemed out of place in the way he was dealing with the guests, and Im sure that he can learn a lot about Pili, but since it was only a small situation with that guy on one day, it didnt bother me too much and my stay in the hostel and all the other people I got to meet there, were simply wonderful. Thus, the hostel easily and deservedly receives 5 stars from meThank you for everything!

One of the best dorms i have ever visited, clean beds, nice staff specially pilly in reception and Mohamed the Egyptian manager he is very reliable .

A nice place for budget traveller and those who want to come and enjoy the stone town exactly so close to the old arab fort,the palace and all the historical buildings and also good place for buying the tanzanite gem.

I recommend this hostel. Situated in the heart of Stone Town. Its clean and the AC is available. The staff is very friendly and the price is affordable.

Lovely hostel. Biggest beds Ive had from a hostel too and the curtains are a nice touch to keep things private. The bathrooms are on a different floor from the first floor dorm but they are very easy to get to. Perfect location in stone town and the staff are very helpful. Not a brilliant place to meet people though and they do not advertise the tax price which leads to the cost being around 18 dollars per night but thats pretty standard in stone town

One of the modern hostels I have stayed in (probably the best one in stone town)! The rooms are air conditioned, with bedroom compartments (very private with curtains) similar to Japanese capsule hotels, but larger beds. The staff was super friendly and helpful, but the best part is the location, its close to everything in stone town! The only down side I would say is the $9 tax extra that they charge for the room. Laundry service is available but no breakfast. Still, I had a pleasant stay regardless, and would recommend other travelers!

Bunk beds are very clean and comfortable with privacy and individual lighting. Shared toilets are very clean and comfortable with showers in working condition. Wifi is good and location is perfect in the calm area of the stone town though the price is little expensive.

Lovely hostel with affordable pricing reasonable right in the heart of Stonetown.We booked two double beds the day of during low season. At first it was pretty empty but the beds filled up towards the end of the day. The staff ladies are very nice and speak English well. Very happy to help and answer questions.Unfortunately, after a few requests, one of our beds still did not get sheets put on.The common areas are pleasant but not very large so traveller interactions are brief and in passing. We did meet some fun other travellers however.I would recommend this place to most backpackers!

A lovely modern hostel with air conditioning!!! There are only a couple rooms and they have many beds in them. You may sleep in a double bed or a twin and each bed has a privacy curtain with a light and a plug in inside.The staff is very friendly. The owner is welcoming and gave us many great recommendations. They also sell bottled water (its chilled!) at a fair price. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location in the heart of Stone Town. Wifi works well both in the room and common areas. Huge beds, safe lockers, bedside light and power outlets for everyone. Aircon in the dorm. Very good place for the price. No breakfast available but plenty of cafes nearby. They arranged a transportation to Nungwi for me for a very competitive price.

I really enjoyed staying here. I was worried about the 16 bed dorm, but everyone has a curtain for their full-size bed, which makes it feel private. Thats right, most of the beds are full size! The place had a fun style and there are two AC units in the room to keep it cool. Loses a star for small lockers (even the big ones are shelved, so you cant fit a pack frame) and no kitchen facilities.

Fun place. Clean. Kind and helpful staff. It is a little loud at night.

Such nice beds!! In fact possibly best bed environment in Africa with curtains, plugs, lights and space to put things around you. Staff were helpful. Shame the hangout space isnt better. Nice location and locals make it easy to find from the bus station.

I wish I could write a review on Hostel world but because I cancelled I cant. The hostel is nice, they have laundry service, friendly staff and great location.However the day I got there I was feeling like I am catching a cold and it was getting worse. The AC was set to 19 degrees and later I spoke to 2 girls that told me we like it like this. 19 degrees is like arctic weather for me and since I was only provided a thin sheet I asked for a thick blanket...of course they did not have...I do not feel like 15 people sharing a room should have access to the temperature settings. Everyone is different, however low temperatures at night without warm bed can get someone very sick ( as it happened to me).I cancelled my reservation and went to another place. The hostel was very nice and refunded me for the second day stay. I would probably not stay at hostels again...you can find too many inconsiderate people.Also there is a very small area to hangout and a fooseball table just outside one of the dorms which can be very loud. I feel like it would a better idea to remove it and make more seats (maybe put a small table)

What a great place, clean tidy, showers are really good, beds are big for a single one. Enough room to put your bits in. Curtains to be pulled around the bed for privacy. Really was shocked at how nice the place was for a hostel and in a great location too. Cheap tooTy

Excellent!! Knows what every backpacker needs, hot showers, loo paper!!Super clean, very friendly, huge beds with great mattresses and sheets!!Very central position in Stone Town, can walk everywhere.Totally recommend it.

Wooooow, what an amazing place, eco-friendly hostel centered right in the heart of stone town. The staff are absolutely welcoming and nice, they speak English and are reliable 24/7, the beds are very comfortable probably the best beds in stone town with curtains which favors everyone’s privacy. It’s sooo beautiful I strongly recommend!

A small, cozy hostel smack dab in the heart of stone town. Don’t come here looking for 5-star luxuries; the place boasts friendly staff, free WiFi, a computer corner, capsule “rooms” with a curtain for privacy and a socket for charging, hot showers and an inevitably fun group of travelers looking for adventure at a reasonable price. Get to explore the intricate streets of stone town and be a close enough walk to the ferry on your day back to the mainland to almost miss it - but not quite.

They mixed up our reservation which was a complete fail. Nonetheless they gave us a discount which was very nice. The room was cool and the bathrooms were lovely and modern! Cool communal space. It is in a great location!! I strongly recommend.

By far the best hostel weve stayed at ever!! Air conditioned, excellent host and nice staff, beautiful rooms and bathrooms and in an excellent location in stone town. Excellent wifi too 😉. I hope to come back soon.

Great place for the few nights needed visiting stone town, I enjoy backpacking so Ive stayed at hostels across the globe and this is the best in quality, price, and cleansiness Ive experienced. Perfect stay, staff was very helpful and accommodating, right in the heart of town and beside lots of great places to check out during the day and the nights.

Very cheap, but the AC was not always working and the bathrooms smelled quite foul. Close to the city center. Okay WiFi in the common areas. Refrigerated water (1,5L) could be bought 24/7 for 1000 tsh.

The place is spotless clean, the beds are large, and the curtains give you privacy. There are also lockers. Location is perfect: central, near an exchange office and many restaurants. Unfortunately they dont serve breakfast and there isnt a kitchen to prepare your food or a table to eat what you bought, which is a problem during Ramadan when its hard to eat outside before sunset.

Cool place and warm welcome at reception

An amazing place to stay especially if you are loooking into a cheap but ellegant housing. The hostel constitutes a modern design design that anyperson from any part of the world can find it comfortable to stay. If you are in groups, this is the perfect spot to settle. The hostel is in the heart of stone town, the most bussiest street stone town with very many shops. The customer service is excellent, would totally recommend

Great modern hostel! Amazing staff! Always clean.Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ask them for any sightseeing advice, they even have some amazing deals for tours around.

Best hostel to stay in stone town.It is a brand new building, great wifi, really private beds with curtains, automatic lockers, AC and a friendly staff.Highly recommend it!

Excellent place to stay. Friendly people, great staff. Good conversations, comfortable, good location .... ayyye. If you stay you’ll get the chance to beat Amina (Emmy) 10-0 in table soccer. Pretty easy

Very nice dorm, very clean and quiet, excellent position in the heart of Stone Town and excellent price-quality ratio. Be aware that theres no breakfast. Its also possible to organize tours around from there.

Really liked this place and would stay here again. I deduct one star because they hung a sheet when I asked for a curtain as mine was the only bed without, they didnt have enough locker keys to give me one, and I didnt know about the $9 per night tax before I booked. Location here was perfect and staff very helpful.

Newly fitted hostel. Air-conditioned dorms with individual bathrooms with showers. Breakfast is not included but for TSH5000 you can get some avo toast at Stone town Cafe. 1.5l water is sold for tsh1000 at reception. Wifi is good but fluctuates in top dorm. Communal areas are ok, there is no bar which would have been the perfect addition. Be aware that $9 tourism tax added to dorn bed cost. Total should be $19.Dorms:You have an private pod with curtains providing privacy with your own little light and two power sockets. Rf lockable locker in room is big enough for laptop backback which was a plus!Most affordable accommodation in the heart of stone town.

The place is overcrowded (28 people sleeping in a 10m2 room), dirty (there are only 4 bathrooms for almost 50 people) and double of the advertise price (due to $9 city tax).The location is good and manager is very nice and helpful though.

The rooms are very cute, clean, and private for a dormitory. You also get a locker where you can keep your stuff. The staff are also very friendly. I would most definitely recommend it!

Its a mix of Zanzibar free spirit with fine rest in the heart of stone town, Beautifully designed with high standards of cleanliness. Includes a common area room with games, free WiFi. Computer and window views. Its lovely and lively, friendly Beautiful place. Modern nostalgia in the old Zanzibar architecture with a modern touch, walking distance to forodhani and ferry. Close to each point of Stonetown

Lovely hostel in Zanzibar Tanzania, huge place and affordable price for backpackers like me. Its recommended among the travellers.

Cheap affordable but can get noisy. Pillows are not comfortable. Please buy new ones.

Really nice hostel, great airconditioned rooms, warm shower and wonderful staff

Excellent service from a friendly and knowledgeable staff..... Very clean facility with just the right amount of bells and whistles. Couldnt have asked for a better experience.

Probably the best hostel in Zanzibar. Rooms and bathrooms are really nice, the hostel is in the perfect location and the staff are so nice and helpful.

Great place to stay for few days i had a lot of problems with the ac but except for that it was great.

Good dorms with even double beds, good showers & very good cooling airco.

Clean hostel with nice extras, such as towels and AC in the dorms.

I wase use GPS to find it

Helpful staff, nice hostel! Would definitely stay again!!

Anything concerning health is availabale here

Serena

Awesome place !

Good service

Quite and beautiful

Where do the good ratings actually come from?When checking in, there are hidden costs that are not shown anywhere in advance. It is cleaned regularly, but the sanitary facilities need to be overhauled. No space for the bags, they are in the aisle and everyone stumbles over them at night. Air conditioning cant cool the room, so sleep like in a sauna.

Clean and welcoming.Easy to find from the port (11mn walk)Very pleasant interior design.Socket for charging the phone at each bed so very practical!I recommend 100 times!

Very good place, they keep it clean all the time and the attention at the reception is the best !!!!, I would go back to this Hostel without a doubt. Congratulations and keep it up! regards

Very well situated. Good hostel. The beds are double. Very well situated. There is no breakfast.

Cute hostel, and well located. The shared rooms are for many people and without breakfast.

Super good. Fantastic

Its nice, but if you look well, its clean and nice double room $ 25 .... This is $ 20 for the sea bream.

Confused check in. But super friendly, competent and house clean! We recommend. Great location.

Great value for money

Improve wifi signal
