Suffisant pour une nuit

Hôtel simple mais suffisant pour une nuit avant un vol. Pas de clim, mais un ventilateur. Le lit est correct, idéal pour se reposer un peu et prendre une douche avant le départ.

Flamingo Guesthouse, Sansibar, Stone town, Tansani

Paikka lähellä nähtävyyksiä vanhassa kaupungissa. Englannin kielitaito heikkoa, mutta halua auttaa löytyi. Aamiainen yksinkertainen talon katolla. Talossa ei ollut hissiä. Yksi ihminen teki kaikki palvelut, vastaanotto, aamiainen, pyykkipalvelu ja vielä siivoaminenkin. Hän oli auttavainen ja neuvoi paikkoja, vaikka yhteistä kieltä ei ollutkaan. Vartiointi oli huolimatonta ja sisään pääsi illalla ulkopuolisia ihmisiä. Eräs avasi illalla myöhään huoneemme oven, kun olimme menossa nukkumaan. Ovi ei ollut vielä lukossa silloin. Huone yksinkertainen, mutta AC ja tuuletin katossa toimi. Suihkusta ei tullut lämmintä vettä.

従業員の人も、オーナーも、このホテルに関わる人全員が、とても親切で、心温まる対応でした。 ホテル内、室内すべてきれいで、朝食も美味しいです⤴️⤴️ 他の客も、世界各国からザンジバル島に来ていた人たちで、夜になればみんなで、ザンジバル島や旅の話をして、仲良く過ごしました。 こんないいホテル、他にはありません。 私は、40年前にザンジバル島に来た時もこのホテルに泊まり、また今回もここに泊まりました👍👍
