Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I recommend Jacob's Inn with all my heart and confidence. It is not a luxury space, but a small, intimate, familiar place that reflects its price. It is a hotel very close to the tourist spots in Stone Town and the beach, around there are restaurants, souvenir shops, spa and anything everyone wants. The staff is absolutely wonderful, present and warm, very helpfull with everything we requested. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made. They even supplemented it with what we wanted, going to the shops around at that moment to buy. The rooms were very clean: sheets, clean towels, air conditioning, hot water, non-stop internet. As a minus point is that the windows of our rooms did not have a beautiful view, but I did not care about that, because I did not pay for it. The fact that it was clean, the friendly staff and the location close to everything I wanted to visit, was more than enough. So the price per quality is more than enough and I would come back here with all my heart anytime, which is why I recommend this hotel.
Negative: There is nothing negative to add, because the price is sufficient for the conditions and comfort.
Summary: It was a pleasure to stay at Jacob's Inn because the place reflects the soul of the staff: warm and
