L’amabilité du personnel, la propreté, le calme.

Pas de Wi-Fi dispo dans la chambre. Pas de piscine , c'est juste un coin d’eau.

Swahili House has central location. Building is historic and quite nice with roof terrace which has great view to the city.Staff were quite nice and the manager gave us possibility to stay in our room until our time to the Airport.

Room was quite small but was OK. Our major problem was electricity which was off during midnight and we were without the fan and conditioner until the next day. It was soo hot and without air that we hardly could breath. As soon sun raise started we went up to the rooftop to breath. It was so early that even the staff were not there yet.

"Very nice place to stay in stone town"

9.0

This is a very nice place with very nice and friendly staff. The room are really nice too, we love the style very traditional.

The AC wasn't working very well in one of the three rooms but still enough to sleep properly. The restaurant was alright but the breakfast selection could improve. The fruits and juices are excellent and the cocktails too especiallywhen it's the main bartenderdoing them.
