The price is very affordable, and the beds are okay. The room I booked, the shared one, has an airco and a ventilator, so it gets really cool. The staff is nice, and location is good. You can easily walk to the beach or to local restaurants

All hostels in Stone Town

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
