Garden Lodge

Hi, Garden Lodge, is a fairly nice place to stay. Nice garden outside, and breakfast area on roof top. fairly good breakfast with fruit and a choice for omlett and toast and so on. Room has for me a hard matress, but not worste than i extended another night. function A/C, refridgerator in my room did not work.Price compared the accomodation, makes it a good place for some nights, i would return and recommend.

Very Low quality budget hotel that failed to meet already low expectations. Only plus is location. The AC/Fan did not work when we checked in. The towels and bedsheets had rust color small stains. Upon informing the front desk person, Muhammad about these issues they were promised to be corrected but we were later informed that they wouldn’t be able to accommodate. The bathroom was dirty and in need of maintenance. The rooms are smaller than it appears in the pictures. Don’t expect any help with carrying your luggage to your room. The hotel doesn’t have elevators and has 4 floors. We ended up moving our 3 day vacation stay to other nearby hotel (only stayed 1 night). I highly recommend checking other great hotels in the same area like: Tembo, Foradhani, Spice Tree, Emerson Spice Hotel. They are all within walking distance of the Stone Town tour and worth your money.
