Kisiwa House

- 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.

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 was lovely and clean. Despite the listing saying they offer an airport transfer, no one was waiting for us. Overall good.

Great location within Stone-town. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Comfortable rooms with air conditioning.

Chambres très spacieux, haut plafonds, grande salle de bain. Ancien mais très bien conservé. Très bien placé au centre historique de Stone Town. Petit déjeuner sur le Rooftop très agréable avec vue sur la mer. Le personnel est extrême sympathique. L’arrivée en voiture est un peu difficile car petits chemin très etroite.

We had a great stay. Perfect location and rooms are nice and clean. Breakfast was delicious and service was wonderful!

Muy bonito y muy bien ubicado. El servicio tambien fue muy bueno.

Tout était très bien. C’était très propre. Le personnel très gentil. L’hôtel très beau (style ryad). On ressent l’histoire de l’hôtel et son vécu. Tout neuf et rénové tout en gardant le patrimoine. J’ai aimé cet hôtel. Petit dej pourrait être amélioré avec un peu plus de choix (exemple chocolat chaud, chocolat à tartiner, petits pains plus frais ..) mais c’était bien.

Parece um Riad, uma antiga casa de Sultão. É legal e tem boa comida, bons profissionais e boa localização! Gostei e indico.

Hôtel trés bien situé dans Stone Town, et bien décoré. Cependant pas d’ascenseur et il y a beaucoup de marches à monter (pas adapté aux personnes en situation de handicap ou au personnes âgées). Literie très confortable, petit déjeuner bon et personnel serviable. Bonne escale en arrivant pour la première fois dans cette ville!

Fint litet hotel i Stone Town nära till allt. Väldigt trevlig personal

Der var god service, men alt for mange trapper. En elevator ville være perfekt

Bien placé, charmant, personnel tres serviable, possibilité de stationnement

Bel hôtel, bien situé pour visiter la vieille ville. Personnel attentionné. Par contre chambre bruyante au deuxième étage située sous les cuisines. Un groupe frigorifique ou autre moteur se mettait en route toutes les dix minutes. Tôt le matin bruit de la rue en plus. Par ailleurs il n’y a pas d’alcool à l’hôtel. Aucune information sur le site dans ce sens

Bina eski olduğundan asansör yok, merdivenler dik, banyo eski, izolasyon kötü, sokak sesleri geç saate kadar duyuluyor. Erken uyandırma istedim, personel uyuya kaldığı için uyandıramadı,

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...

Very nice vintage boutique hotel,close to everything,perfect to explore Stone town,nice decoration.

Kisiwa house is beautiful but not a 5 star hotel. Keep in mind that this is another standard for this country so when you book a hotel with 5 stars it’s usually not. We got a room at first floor right outside the street. It was very noisy and it was hard to get a good night sleep which was exactly what we needed. There was a weird smell in the room that they tried to hide and a lot if weird noises from the ac during the night. We woke up multiply times because of shot sounds coming from the ac. The location is good. It’s close to the touristic part of Stonetown but to be honest we only stayed one night and weren’t very much impressed by Stonetown or Zanzibar at all. We made a tour to Nakupenda becah and Prison Island from the harbour but the weather was a disaster, but it’s close to the harbour. The breakfast was ok. Nothing special, however the staff was very helpful and very kind. So a big 5 star to the staff and a 3,5 for the hotel in itself. The rooftop pictures on hotels.com are not like the reality. We passed by some rooms and it looked really beautiful, not like the one we got by the entrance/lobby. See pictures taken.

Beautiful space, great staff, convenient location. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
