"Overall, the hotel room was acceptable, but the facilities were dated.
The hotel is right on the sea, only 30 meters away.
The room was spacious, but the bathroom was poor. The water from the sink faucet was very small, but the shower was quite loud. The air conditioner was very noisy, like a plane taking off when it started, and it was also very noisy when it was running.
The breakfast was okay, and some of the dishes were very suitable for Chinese tastes.
The price was not expensive. Other hotels in Pemba are not very good, but they are much more expensive, some extremely expensive (over 2,000 yuan per night). As for whether they are good or not, I didn't experience them."
