Charming small hotel in Stonetown’s elegant tourist neighborhood, close to high end shopping and the Freddie Mercury Museum. Very fine place, response service and stunning period decor. Rooftop breakfast service with extraordinary view of the harbor. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We spent one night at Kisiwa House and our stay here turned out to be a perfect choice. Decoration is classy and traditional. Room is very clean. Very nice location, less than 10 mins walk to the beach and restaurants, night market. Staff here are very nice and helpful, trying their best to satisfy guests. Special thanks to Esta, who helped me take good care of the painting I bought and not dried well then at night. Since we were leaving very early the next morning to catch a flight, Kisiwa were so considerate that they even prepared breakfast box for us. Thanks again.

Amazing old Zanzibar house with lovely staff in very central but still calm location. Super nice and clean room with a comfy bed and a free standing bathtub (room No. 5). The breakfast on the roof with a cool breeze from the ocean was perfect as well. Highly recommended!

Fantastic customer service. The staff really go above and beyond to help you out and make your stay as good as possible. Breakfast on the terrace is delicious. The hotel decor is beautiful and the ambience in the hotel is wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a central location in Stone Town but in a quiet area.
