Ok, very expensive for the experience. Sea view rooms are extremely noisy.

They double charged me for the dinner and charged me ($15) at the time of check-out without providing explanation of charges. The dinner was for $21 but my credit card shows it was charged twice. It was careless of the Africa House Hotel to charge me twice. I tried reaching them but they didn't respond. Please be careful when booking this hotel.

Cauchemar
Je suis restée une nuit et j'ai réussi à dormir 3 heures. L'hôtel est infesté d'insectes. Il est impossible de fermer l'œil sans se demander si on ne va pas être piqué en pleine nuit. Les chambres sont situées sous le café restaurant qui joue la musique jusqu'à 1 heure du matin. Les chambres équipées de fenêtres qui ne se ferment pas complètement, donnent également côté rue qui est très fréquentée avec un trafic dense de véhicules. J'ai rapporté mes mécontentents au Manager qui m'a dit que l'hôtel appartient à l'état qui ne souhaite pas faire d'importants travaux. Africa House n'est pas hôtel. Par ailleurs, ils pratiquent des prix qui ne sont pas à la hauteur de l'établissement. Aucune personne ne devrait y séjourner.

Fijn verblijf en servicegericht.
Netjes verzorgd en servicegericht voor de gasten. Bij aankomst op de luchthaven stond de medewerker klaar om ons gratis naar het hotel te brengen. Het ontbijt was goed verzorgd met verse producten.

Det dårligste 4 stjernede hotel
Hotellet er i en elendig stand, de billeder som ligger af hotellet på hotel.com er overhovedet ikke tilsvarende som hotellet ser ud nu. Hele hotellet er meget slidt. Vi kunne ikke få Rene håndklæder med det samme de beskidte var afhentet, da hotellet sagde at de kun havde 1 sæt til hver værelse og vi måtte derfor vente til de var vasket på et vaskeri i nabolaget og hentet. Vi måtte rykke for håndklæderne, da vi var vendt hjem fra stranden sidst på eftermiddagen og skulle have et bad. Vi fik dog kun 2 badehåndklæder og måtte igen bede om 1 til hænderne og 1 til at stå på når vi kom ud fra brusebadet- brusebadet foregik i et badekar som ikke var tæt ved gulvet, så det var vand ud på hele gulvet efter bad. Til morgenmaden var kaffen lunken og det kogende vand var også lunken, dette måtte vi sige flere gange. Møblerne vi sad i på terrassen i restauranten var møg beskidte, hynderne var udover de var beskidte fugtige. Det fælles toilet som ligger på etagen ved restauranten var også beskidt og med vand på gulvet flere steder. Vi boede på et 4 stjernet hotel ved Zanzibar østkyst og i skriver at dette hotel er et 4 stjernet hotel, sammenligner vi disse to hoteller, vil vi give dette hotel en lille 2 stjerner, for havudsigten , men desværre følger der også en masse affald med i den udsigt.

historic colonial building excellent seafront loca
the staff and management are very accomodating, even under challenging circumstances. this is not the ritz carlton or the four seasons, this is a historic colonial building right on the sea front and short walk to everything without being in the overpriced tourist traps like Hyatt. for authentic experience stay in colonial houses like this.

Bad communiction
Dålig kommunikation med med hotellet... Jag mailade om att få en gratis upphämtning på flygplatsen (det ingår). Det tog 1 vecka innan de svarade efter en reminder från min sida. Väl på flygplatsen var det ingen och mötte mig...blev tvungen att ta en vanlig taxi...hotellet gav mig ingen kompensation för det. Dåligt.

Excellent view
nice hotel next to Stone Town. Really nice view from the restaurant where the food was very good. The staff were also very nice and welcoming. The room was a bit dark with not much sun light, but I didn’t stay in there much anyway.
Mette, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unpleasant
I paid more to get an ocean room view - big mistake. The bar was located above my room which meant loud music until the early house of the morning, followed by staff dragging furniture across the floor to set up for breakfast. Lots of dancing, drunk people, whoo hoo’s - all of which made for an unpleasant experience. 2 nights of very little sleep; I was glad to get out of there.

The sea view rooms are not worth it cause they are located below the restaurant which means you will hear any chair that get moved and the music
