    The place was really nice with a small door and a small space downstairs. Upstairs, there was a bar and rooms with huge beds, curtains, a terrace, and safe boxes for each person. There were 4 clean bathrooms and excellent facilities. I felt comfortable and met people to do activities together. The location was perfect.

    I felt really comfortable, no complaints at all.

    The location of the hotel is excellent, in the heart of Stone Town and close to the Forodhani Market. This makes it convenient for exploring the area and experiencing the local culture. Guests have mentioned meeting other travelers and forming connections to do activities together. The hostel is also in the best area, providing easy access to boats for those wanting to explore further.

    Some guests have mentioned that there were not enough bathrooms for all the guests, resulting in long wait times.

    The location of this hotel is excellent, just a short walk from the beach and in the heart of Stone Town. the staff were friendly and always ready to assist. the bed was comfortable and the curtains provided a good amount of privacy.

    The cleanliness of the hotel was a major issue. the bathrooms were often dirty and not cleaned as frequently as they should have been, resulting in unpleasant smells.

    Great location! The hotel is conveniently located near popular bars and is easy to get around the city. The beds are huge and very comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. the rooms have air conditioning, which is perfect for the warm weather in the city.

    One downside is that there is no kitchen or breakfast available at the hotel. However, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby to satisfy your appetite.

    This hostel is in a great location, right in the centre of everything. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby, such as Lukmaan or Ma Shaa Allah Café, where you can find delicious food. the rooms are comfortable, with large beds and curtains for privacy. the bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, with hot water and strong water pressure. the staff is friendly and helpful, offering assistance in organizing trips and providing airport transport. the hostel also has great wifi and international wall plugs for convenience.

    The prices for the tours offered by the hostel were a bit higher compared to other tours in the area.

    I recently stayed at Lost & Found in Stone Town for a short visit. Despite my initial concerns about staying in a multi-bed room, the experience was great. The beds were cozy and comfortable, with curtains for privacy. The showers were clean and had hot water, and the internet was even better than my own home! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, and the staff, especially Pily at reception. a fantastic choice for budget travelers.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    My stay at the hostel was just what I needed for two busy days in Stone Town. The accommodation at Lost & Found was comfortable, simple, and had everything I needed. The staff went above and beyond in terms of communication and customer service. Even after I left the hostel, they were extremely helpful. The double bed dorms were perfect and the place was kept spotlessly clean. The location was also great, right in the heart of Stone Town, although there were plenty of hagglers due to its proximity to jewelry stores.

    Nothing 🙌

    I got great value for my money at this hotel. The room was really good and spacious, with big beds and curtains for privacy. The location was perfect, close to the street food market and lots of stores and restaurants. The staff, especially Hafsah, were super friendly and helpful, assisting us with scooter rentals and a flight ticket situation when my phone wasn't working. They even had a free storage room with cameras for guests to leave their big luggage while they explored the island.

    The breakfast selection could be improved.
