“Located in Paje, the inn places you steps away from the beach and above Roots Restaurant, a local favorite for Asian fusion. For a solo traveler seeking good value, this could be an excellent choice and worry-free as they have a generator, which addresses Zanzibar's occasional electricity issues. I find the friendly staff and comfortable, budget-friendly vibe particularly appealing.”
