Zanzibar's first dedicated backpackers hostel, Lost & Found is perfect for travellers on a tight budget. It's clean, modern, safe, friendly and well located. Guests sleep in comfortable 'pods' (single or double), with curtains for privacy, in two dorms (mixed gender and female only). The shared bathrooms are spotless. There's funky decor and a small balcony overlooking the street.
