The Swahili House is well positioned in the old town and is an authentic renovation merchants house. The rooms are simple but spacious, clean with aircon and hot water. The staff were all welcoming and accommodating. They helped us find our way around d and even escorted us to an atm! The roof top restaurant is one of only a handful in the old town and offers great views of the city. The food might be a little more expensive because of this but it was good. A good breakfast is served on the roof also. Overall we very much enjoyed staying here.

Great views from the rooftop. Food was just ok, but a bit to expensive.It was actually the most expensive restaurant that we visited on our trip to Zanzibar yet the food was the worst of all the places we ate in on the island.I would recommend but only for a drink because of the view.

Beautiful View around Stone Town. Enjoying in drinking cocktails and taking a rest after sightseeing. The place has a good restaurant and offers a time to relax. Its also a good meeting point with the tourist agent that shows you the city and tells the stories about Architecture - Decorated Doors.

Very well located at the heart of the old city of Stone Town, near all shops and points of interest. This is a tradition style hotel with specific design and fourniture from India and Arabic influences. The roof bar and restaurant is a real plus to have an overview of the town, relax and enjoy cocktails. Nice service on top. Book with no hesitation.
