Top Value Pick

There's a particular kind of property that travellers keep coming back to in Zanzibar: NOMAD Hostel Stone Town, a hostel in Zanzibar, fits that bill. Geographically speaking it's a short ride from the main sights, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms are modest without trying to be anything more, and the comfort feedback has been uneven. With around 120 reviews on the books and a broadly positive average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. The reputation reads as steady rather than spiking. Pricing has been sitting near €8 a night and the value score puts it in a strong-value bracket compared with similar properties. The honest read on NOMAD Hostel Stone Town is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Zanzibar names rather than a headline of its own.

+Location is great, right in the middle of Stone Town, within easy reach of main attractions in a quiet spot. Comfy bed and good breakfast with a hot shower, that's all you need!
