“Good place to stay in Stown Town if you don't want to spend much money on hotel.”
Quite low price and good location, only walking distance (about 1 km) away from the beach. Hotel itself is nothing special, just a hotel, but nothing bad also. OK internet connection and I liked that there was refrigerator in the room and also that you could sit and relax in the rooftop breakfast area at the evening time and just look at the city lights.

Great value for money. Very comfortable bed. It had an AC, a TV, and a mini fridge. The room was clean. The location is very near to Darajani Souq and relatively close to the beach, but it was a bit confusing to find the hotel at first. I requested a quiet room because I wanted to relax on my last night in Zanzibar, and I was given one.
