    historic architecture
    friendly staff
    dim lighting
    unheated pool
    limited pool seating

    The historic building exudes character, evident in its impressive architecture and vibrant decor that transports you back in time. Enjoyed a delightful breakfast in the lush garden, surrounded by blooming flowers. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. However, the room felt a bit dim, and the pool area, while charming, lacked heating, which may deter some during cooler evenings.

    delicious breakfast
    cleanliness issues

    The superb a la carte breakfast was a delightful way to start each day, featuring fresh fruit and a variety of local dishes.

    Despite its charming appearance, our room had cleanliness issues, including dust and mold on the ceiling, which detracted from our overall comfort.

    We had a wonderful family stay with our dog, enjoying the pool and delicious breakfast in the charming garden. The staff provided great service, helping us feel at home. We loved exploring Stone Town and definitely recommend the Spice Farm Tour!

    In my wife’s opinion, some areas could be more family-friendly.

    upkeep issues

    Kholle House showcases charming architecture, with vibrant decor reflecting its Zanzibari heritage. The friendly staff contributed to a warm atmosphere, especially during breakfast in the beautiful garden. However, the rooftop area needs better upkeep and occasionally noisy surroundings detracted from the tranquility.

    beautiful garden

    Couples looking for a charming getaway

    The garden and the little pool were an oasis after the heat outside. And the breakfast was just excellent, such tasty fruit and options.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still manageable.

    narrow rooms

    My stay at Kholle House was a delightful experience. The charming architecture, highlighted by beautiful turmeric walls and stained window details, reflected the vibrant Zanzibari culture. The staff was exceptionally attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. Breakfast was a treat, featuring a delicious fruit platter and various menu options.

    Rooms are a bit dark.

    steep stairs

    A peaceful oasis near the ferry port, featuring lovely decor and a charming pool perfect for cooling off after exploring. The breakfast was delightful, with fresh fruit and grilled meats on the menu. However, the steep stairs to the rooms could pose a challenge for those with mobility issues, and some staff members displayed unprofessional behavior that detracted from the experience.

    comfy room
    good plumbing

    It was just a perfect match for a quick weekend visit in Zanzibar with fantastic value for money. The room was super comfy, and the plumbing systems were surprisingly good compared to many places in Tanzania. Be cautious of the narrow stairs when walking around.

    charming stay with easy access to zanzibar's landmarks

    I loved my stay here, as the location right in the heart of old stone town made it effortless to explore nearby attractions like Forodhani Park and the Old Slave Market, both within a short walk. plus, the beautiful, historic building is rich with character and comfort, contributing to a delightful experience.
