    Needs improvement
    5.0

    The rooms are spacious and bright, with large windows and a four-poster bed, which adds a cozy charm. The decor reflects the local style perfectly, and the rooftop terrace offers a vibrant view of the bustling life below, especially during celebrations.

    Had some trouble with the toilet that wobbled awkwardly, which was a bit off-putting. The breakfast was hit or miss. While it seemed to have variety, some dishes lacked flavor. I was also disappointed by the slow and unreliable Wi-Fi during my stay. Parking was also not an option, which might be a bother for those with vehicles.

    rooftop restaurant timing

    Make sure to check the rooftop restaurant's timing as they have limited hours and no lunch offerings.

    spacious room
    top terrace
    noise level
    limited towels

    Spacious room with a beautiful ambiance. The breakfast on the top terrace is a highlight, featuring fresh fruit, eggs, and pastries. Enjoyed the friendly service from the staff, always offering help when needed. The noise from the street was bothersome during the night. extra insulation could help. Limited towels made it awkward during my stay. The location is fantastic for exploring Stone Town, with great views everywhere, but the noise levels could be improved. a nice stay despite a few inconveniences.

    beautiful ambiance
    rooftop breakfast
    water issue

    Kisiwa House was a charming spot! The ambiance was really beautiful, and the rooftop breakfast was a great way to start the day. Frank, the manager, set up an awesome tour for us to Prison Island. A little hiccup on the water situation, though.

    warm smiles

    Target audience charm seekers

    It was a high point being greeted so warmly even at 1AM! Plus that breakfast on the rooftop, unforgettable views, and fresh tropical fruit.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but still acceptable for what we got.

    rooftop breakfast
    beautiful spaces

    great access to parks and cultural landmarks for walking enthusiasts

    the full breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the city and bay paired with the beautiful spaces around the hotel made my stay unforgettable, and being just minutes away from Forodhani Park and the Old Fort of Zanzibar allowed for a wonderful exploration of the local culture and scenery.
