    The hotel's location is ideal, as it is very close to everything in Stone Town. You can easily explore the area and visit all the main attractions. the rooftop terrace offers a stunning view. the staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfast served on the rooftop is delicious.

    The wifi connection in certain areas of the hotel is poor and the facilities could use some updates.

    The room was great, with a comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The staff and owner were really friendly. Great value for money. Convenient location near the main street food market. 50m away is a restaurant with live music almost every night. Free internet throughout the property. Tasty breakfast with a basic but satisfying selection.

    Felt like it was our own home, no complaints.

    I recently stayed at Bottoms Up for a week while exploring Stone Town. The hotel's central location made it easy to get around on foot. The rooftop view was incredible and my spacious and clean room on the top floor was perfect. The friendly and helpful staff, especially Ali, went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. They offered tours and transportation at reasonable prices. Despite being a budget hostel, I was pleasantly surprised by the value I received. I would definitely recommend it!

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    The staff members were friendly and the room was clean. The location was convenient, with easy access from the port and airport. The hotel offered well-organized tours to nearby attractions, such as Nungwi, Nakupenda island, and Paje.

    The room lacked windows and had a stale smell. There were issues with the cleanliness of the sheets and bed.

    The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, offering assistance and advice throughout my stay. The location of the hotel was also very convenient, with key attractions and markets within walking distance. the view from the rooftop was stunning, allowing me to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings.

    There were a few aspects of the hotel that could be improved. the rooms were quite hot and the ceiling fans didn't provide much relief.
