"Great hangout/coworking space in the bar/restaurant"
"Can be a bit loud at night either from the street or the bar"
"A nice little spot tucked into a good neighborhood with beach access. Great breakfast and a nice restaurant area with a chill vibe for relaxing, along with decent rooms. Excellent staff who are there to help."
"Some nights, the bar next door plays loud music (loud bass!) until late."
"Located very close to the beach. Tastefully furnished with very courteous staff. very comfortable beds as compared to other hostels/ backpacker's locations. Very fresh and tasty food!"
"Nothing to dislike!"
"The location was best, in the city close to everything. The facility is cute and comfy with lots of socializing opportunities. The staff was friendly and helpful. There are resident cats that are friendly and made it homey for me. The breakfast included is nice."
"It can be loud at times with a party atmosphere in the evenings and traffic on the street audible. I had to ask for a towel and bed cover which is annoying. The food is too touristy. For the shared bathrooms, would have been nice to see frequent maintenance."
"I love the vibe there and the place is beautiful. Each time i am going i meet incredible people. Staff is nice & Food is really good. I would recomend the 3 or 5 bed rooms they are lovely."
"Bathrooms are not quite clean. The window in the dorm has no curtain. Only 6 Lockers in a 10 bed dorm. Breakfast time is way too early."
"The entire atmosphere is a peaceful Zen hippie decor vibe. Sofas, pillows and plants. The staff was amazing. The lady manager helped me with my bags and helped me communicate fair payment with my taxi. Harriet smiles constantly and makes sure to take your order as soon as you sit down. The food is delicious like a good quality restaurant and drinks are strong. Try a Lazy Dog I think it's called. DJ on Friday nights turns into a house party. At midnight it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop."
"Nothing to dislike."

"Veramente favoloso! La posizione è perfetta per raggiungere il nyerere National park. Il proprietario è gentilissimo e molto disponibile, ha organizzato per noi la visita al parco. Anche lo staff è preparato e gentilissimo. Lavorano al campo anche dei Masai che ti accompagnao la sera in camera e ti aiutano con le valige. La struttura affaccia direttamente sul fiume in una posizione sicura e rialzata e da qui si può organizzare un safari in barca della durata di circa due ore in cui si possono vedere coccodrilli, vari tipi di uccelli e ippopotami. La vista dalla camera è dalla zona comune è spettacolare. La camera è pulita e spaziosa e con una vista meravigliosa. Ulteriore nota positiva è il cibo, cucinato internamente sul fuoco e veramente buonissimo. Ogni dettaglio del campo, dagli alloggi alla cucina, è curato e garantisce un'esperienza immersiva. Riassumendo....meraviglioso e fortemente consigliato."

"The value here was phenomenal. Nice hotel right next to the center of Stonetown but off the main tourist path enough that it feels quiet and secluded. Great shower and decent size room."
"Clean and the hosts always available for anything needed."

"Very Staff. Located in the middle of Stone Town. Good breakfast at the Shoki Shoki Hotel. 24h Access due to friendly Maasai guard. All in all 10/10 definitely would recommend."
