Jua Hotel Stone Town — Restaurant in Shangani

We booked this hotel last minute as we decided that a few days in stone town before we left would be good! We arrived at around 8am and expected not to be able to check in until later - this was not the case, the manager Oner welcomed us in and gave us coffee and fruit juice and let us into the room early. The view from the room was fantastic, sea view with a view of the sunset each night. The room itself was very clean with clean mosquito nets and good AC. If I had to pick up on anything it would be that the shower head didn’t readily fit in the attachment on the wall but this didn’t cause any real issues. We had breakfast here for the only morning we were there and it was a traditional Turkish breakfast with omelettes, fruit etc. We had to leave early the second morning for our flight (at 3am), the owner was awake to wave us off after making coffee for us both and organising breakfast to be made the night before for us to take with us to the airport. Him and his teams helpfulness and friendliness was really appreciated and I would recommend this...

Room was basic, no mosquito nets in our initial room provided, with two kids and being from UK we were concerned about the night and malaria. We requested the owner for a change in room, which he did and provided us with a similar room but with one netting to realise at night that they had massive holes in them. No breakfast could be arranged even though we left the hotel at 8.30. Not even tea was offered by the waitress at the restaurant. We were bitten by mosquitoes all night and i showed it to the lady in charge in the morning. very disappointed in the place. We wanted to speak to the owner for a refund on the room but he was nowhere to be seen in the morning. It is not what you would expect from such an idealic place like...
