The garden lodge offers rooms in a traditional swahili house. The house itself is beautiful and has a nice rooftop terrace for breakfast. The rooms are spacious, with nice furniture. They are clean but not impeccable (especially the bathrooms) and the hot water rarely works. The breakfast is included and is very good. Given the prices of Zanzibar, the hotel is a good choice. The staff is friendly but of the kind that will call their non-registered driver friend when you ask them to book a taxi for you (the driver friend asking for 3 times the price of a taxi). There is wifi but only on the rooftop.
