The hotel is clean and a few steps away from a mall with good supermarket. Taxi stands and main road are just there downstairs. Staff are very friendly and way better than any hotel I stayed at recently they are extremely respectful and caring. Great value for money.

Mijn bagage was kwijt geraakt tijdens mijn vlucht. Hotel heeft mij hier heel goed mee geholpen om te zorgen dat ik dit zo snel mogelijk terug kreeg. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk. Kamers zijn schoon en ruim. De ligging is midden in het hectische centrum. Heel dichtbij de kariakoo markt!

On the positive side, the staff were efficient, polite and friendly. If you like Indian sub-continent food, the independently run resturant is ok, the food being spicy but with too much sauce/gravy for my taste. The WiFi was ok. Less positively, there were only three (France 24, CNN and Al Jazeera) English language news channels. The hotel, probably for reasons of the owner's/manager's religious beliefs was teetotal; while this is not a problem, it should be advertised. Cleanliness was a challenge - I saw two small cockroaches so there were definitely many more and breeding. The area was characterised by very small shops, unpaved roads (so dusty) and noise. The bed was hard and the pillows lumpy.

The Iris Hotel is located in the city centre in an area that is both local and central - to the city, to the Zanzibar ferry and convenient (enough) for the airport. Expectations should be pitched at the price - true it's a little rough around the edges but the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's safe but usual precautions apply.
The breakfast is adequate and is served in a comfortable and very clean dining room. Bedrooms have cable TV (if that's important to you), AC and a fan. WiFi only works in public areas but the signal there is strong.
I'd have no hesitations recommending this hotel if you're looking for a central, clean and value-for-money hotel

We got stolen $400 USD from our room, and the hotel doesn't want to take responsibility for it. We were one gone for only 2 hours and the door was locked. Staff steals there. Will never stay again and will not recommend.

Very spartan by any standard. No blankets or towels given. Bed like sleeping on a door with sheets. Was so uncomfortable I did not sleep anyway. Should have just stayed at the airport.... would have gotten more sleep.

We stayed at F10 on two occasions; initially for 2 nights (twin room), then for a single night (double room/bed) ten days later. The room we had on our second visit was significantly nicer than the initial room, despite both on the same floor, 3 doors apart from each other. I would recommend booking a double room in opposed to a twin room.
Though the furniture in the room looks rather tired and worn, the room was very clean and tidy, with A/C, a fridge and television. We did see a cockroach on our second arrival but it was a single incident and it is difficult not to encounter bugs while in Africa.
The staff were soooooo helpful and made our stay really comfortable. The hotel is located in a clutter of side roads so expect to get lost in the local area if travelling on foot. The local area has everything you'd need from internet cafes, to big markets - the location is very good.

arrived and was checked in within minutes. The rooms cleanliness is average. There isn't much facilities, the shower hasn't got a shower curtain therefore there can be splash after shower. The hotel has a restaurant within but can't comment on the food as didn't get a chance to try it. However, the hotel does offer free wifi which can be accessed from the lobby. The wifi was handy for checking in flights. In addition, there is plenty of taxis outside which can be used to access local attractions and eateries including the town centre.
The airport was roughly 10 minutes away as it was early morning without any traffic. This may be hectic at other times due to the heavy traffic within the city.

The room was clean with a comfortable bed. However, there was no hot water and the tv in the room wouldn't work. Even after speaking with maintenance and the promise that they would come up to fix it, no one had turned up. The internet was extremely slow and wouldn't work most of the time. No room service as they had closed the kitchen, and had not advised me until I rang to order. Luckily there is a restaurant around the corner and the markets were in walking distance. Okay if you're after a cheap overnight stay.

This hotel is not great and not in a great location, but it is close to the airport and the staff will really strive to help. The staff English isn't the strongest, but they are helpful. A manager went far out of his way to help us mail some packages back to the states at a nearby DHL. We only stayed one night as it was really just for us to get by the airport and be set to go.
