The hotel is beautiful and everything was spotlessly clean. The reception staff were amazing especially Frank and also the lady whose name I forgot who was working when I arrived very early and arranged a room for me. She also arranged two tours at short notice. Would highly recommend this lovely hotel

- Hotel in great condition, rooms really big and the decor all around the property is lovely.
- A/c in the rooms and the power works most of the time and they have a backup generator.
- Staff super friendly and knowledgeable
- Internet is okay. I was there for work so I probably needed it more than the average traveller.
- Could do with a bit more bottled water in the rooms
- Good location close to everything
- Breakfast a bit boring (fruit, cereal, eggs, crepe). Wish they had an option for a Swahili breakfast.

Didnt The noise made by guests checking out eRly morning when they take down their luggage dragging them down the wooden stairs.
The step in the room should be clearly marked in red to avoid guests falling as no one expect a step just after one gets into a room.
Liked the staff who are extremely friendly and polite. The breakfast is also great in quantity and variety...

A 3*hotel, the rooms need to be renovated.AC, TV, Hair dryer were not working. It took over 2h for someone to check on it, it wasn’t possible to fix any of it. It was the only hotel in the area which you could easily enter in the evening hours without someone at the front desk (poor security). Positive: central location, delicious breakfast with a sea view, nice style of furniture.

Nice hotel in Stone Town, traditional design and architecture. I had a pleasant stay, service was good. My only complaint was with my room. I was #1 on the ground floor facing the street. It’s very noisey, you hear foot/Moto traffic all night as well as anything happening at reception. Plus side is you don’t have to walk the stairs (there are a lot) to access your room, but you will for breakfast. Be prepared. If you can, request a room on a higher floor in the back. In a great location for exploring Stone Town... around the corner from lots of shops and a few cafes.

Great helpful staff. Beautiful old house. It’s located in a neighborhood in the old town that is inhabited by locals with all the noise, color and smells.

This hotel really provided the best service. The staff were all very friendly, accommodating, and made you feel welcome. The breakfast was very nice, and the location is in the heart of Stone town so it made a great base for walking around. The room was really clean, and the furniture very comfortable. L

Kisiwa is a beautiful period property nestled amoung the historic buildings of Stone Town. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was large clean and with some nice period features. Breakfast on the rooftop had eveeything we needed and tasted great. Only downside is they charge double for any trips or tours. I would advise you to book with one of the tour guides as it is exactly the same tour but a lot cheaper.

Nicely decorated boutique hotel in the historical area of Stonetown. Good location for walking and touring the town. Spacious and comfortable rooms. Very nice bed. Room was air-conditioned and had a television. The bathroom was large and clean. Never saw an insect in the room. The rooftop restaurant had a nice breakfast included with the stay. The hotel communicated with us days before we arrived and set up a car to pick us up at the airport. Good service. The hotel is in a quieter area of Stonetown away from the mosque loudspeakers. The prayers can still be heard but at a fainter volume. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
