8/10 Very Good

The staff were very friendly, the location convenient and the rooms clean and comfortable. We are already planning to stay again as we come back from our tour of the island. The breakfast was delicious, fresh and filling.

The only problem I found was that we had to share the bathroom. All the rest is correct. The location is very good and the breakfast was plenty and nice.

Good Value
It's a good, affordable place if you want to spend a day or two in stone town. The room is a bit hot but I've gone through far worse. The staff are very nice and the breakfast was simple but quite tasty: eggs, fruits, toast + jam, spiced coffee.

Bra boende, men en riktigt jobbig trappa då jag hade rum på övervåningen. Rent o fint på rummet och i dusch/toa. Både takfläkt och AC. Mycket färgglatt! Nackdel att det inte fanns utrymme för att sitta tillsammans i, på kvällar, endast frukostrummet med dåligt sittanpassade stolar.

Besvikelse, motsvarar inte vad som uppges
Stämmer inte mycket med beskrivning hos hotels.com. väldigt trevlig personal. Men miljön och utsikten var hemsk. Frukosten var definitivt inte kontinental. Saknade sällskapsrum att sitta i. Bott bättre för lägre pris.

Great value!
We had a lovely stay here and even extended our time. It's a good budget option and the shared showers are only shared between a few rooms, so this was never an issue.
