Rainbow Hotel

no hot water

From the reception door the service was pathetic. Had a delayed flight which made us arrive at the hotel after 1am.....The security guard was sleeping together with the lady at reception.....The lady at reception had a stinking attitude and gave us a room which was smelly and had a leak in the bathroom. We had to ask for a change and the next one had 1 bed yet i specifically asked for 2 single beds.....We then later settled for another room but the experience was horrible. If possible please rremove that hotel from your list of possible hotels to stay in that area.

Dirty, Very dirty, could not stay in the room for a minute. The room had a horrible smell, the bed and the sheets were dirty, the furniture was very old and worn out, the AC was extremely noisy, and the toilet was not clean. Unbearable I checked in, went to the room, and left shortly after because I couldn’t stay in those conditions. The hotel refused even a partial refund. Would not recommend. I would not stay for free in this place.

This is a budget hotel with best advantage of its location. Ferry to go to Zanzibar is a 5 minutes walk. Banks, restaurants, essential shops, super market stores are all within walking distance. Uber and other taxi options are available in plenty. Hotel offers a basic breakfast, rooms are clean, with laundry and air conditioning available. I had some issues with the wifi connection after three days. Front desk is responsive and I got an early check in for which I am grateful.

Good experience.. staff was peasant and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Good view of the street below. Good place for airport transit overnight stay. I will use again.

My body itches when I am in bed. No folds in the sheets = does that mean they haven't been changed for a long time? After the itching, I looked at the reviews and found many hygiene-related reviews. This is true, e.g. stains on towels. The location is great, close to the ferry terminal, but there is room for improvement in terms of hygiene. The building is old, but I understand that they are trying to improve it. Do they cut corners in areas that are not visible?
