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.

The hotel is one of the prettiest buildings in stone town. Very nicely decorated with beautiful African style. The staff is very friendly and the room and bed was very comfortable. It had also a beautiful roof terrace with sea view for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The staff were really friendly and the hotel was simply beautiful. Our room was clean and the restaurant was on the terrace at the top was glorious. All meals were delicious and served quietly with charm. Our only gripe was a visit to the Spice Farm. We gathered hangers-on which made us uncomfortable. This was nothing to do with the hotel though. They merely booked our taxi. We were naive and it wasn’t a farm, just a plantation with spices. Everything there we could buy cheaper at the shop called Memories. We felt pressured.

Had a wonderful welcome from the staff at Kisiwee House, especially Frank who organised our trips and made our experience in Zanzibar so smooth and enjoyable. Also the breakfast was lovely served by the lovely Happiness and Ester was very helpful during the evening bringing us water etc. Room on ground floor was a welcome oasis coming from the intense heat outside.😀
