My stay at Golden Nap hostel was perfect. It exceeded all my previous hostel experiences The room is spacious and clean. Newly renovated and decorated with all comfort. Golden Nap is located right in the center of beautiful Stone Town, close to all tourist attractions and in the middle of the cosy and historical little streets of the city, which instantly gives a local vibe The hostel is locally owned - which is a plus! Hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate with Super recommend this place!

A very pleasant hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good with a good variety of foods. It's location near to the harbour and a 2 minute walk int the busy streets of stone town make it ideal.

The location was great. Easily within walking distance of Stone Town. Customer service was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Shoutout to my favourite member of the housekeeping team Maua who kept our room spotless and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was a little disappointing, there wasn't much variety but the fresh fruit made up for it 😊. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it, especially if you're on a budget

The location as well as the rooms and pool are very nice. It is very clean, but lacks a little bit of the friendliness and hospitality of other places in Sansibar.The place is well taken care of and ideal for a city stay in stone town.
