Amazing experience. The staff were excellent and really took care of us. The location was ideal. Rose was the diamond of this experience the manager of the restaurant. The breakfast was lovely and healthy and we were even able to experience a meal which made with simple ingredients but with such finesse, what a great addition to our stay. We were utterly impressed. The reception also gave us great advise and was able to help us with a good taxi and a good tour guide. All-in-all very pleasant stay.

A hidden germ, in the old center of Stone Town, beautifully renovated old house, friendly staff and good food. Antique furniture in the hotel and in the rooms which are very well equipped with modern and well functioning bathrooms. We will come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Kizhi Warehouse! The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes that exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, with great attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness. The hotel is also perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore the surroundings. We truly felt at home and will definitely come back with pleasure. 100% recommended!

What a gem of a place...The airport transfer done by a true gentleman. Efficient and seamless. Thank you to Simon, Ester, Rosemary at the restaurant. Ester you and your hotel really know what good service is. The hotel has traditional and beautiful finishes and elements from the old times with new and fresh updates for your comfort. Eg the aircon, bed, beautiful shower. A haven in stone town. We enjoyed this hotel so much...if you are unsure, this is the one!.

Wunderful hotel house in the center of downtown Stone Town. All POI's are with walking distance. The staff of hotel is excellent. We got served for dinner and breakfast at the roof top terrace with ocean view. The rooms are very clean, a very big bathroom. Nice to know, no elevator.

We had a wonderful stay at Kisiwa House, stayed 2 nights but could easily have stayed longer. We loved everything about it. The staff were so kind and helpful. A special mention to Esther, Shenda, Tumain and Hussuin and the management. Delicious breakfast too! Asante Sana!
