the staff were great, however Ramsel was exceptional. he was fun and light hearted. he had wonderful service skills and it was easy to see that he really enjoyed his job :) the food was on a whole new level both in presentation and taste. definitely the best food we had in Zanzibar. we just loved loved loved the pool. we both felt like a prince and princess luxurating with a bit of decadence. what an amazing room. so much history. the architecture was from a time and place rich with wealth

    Kholle House is one of the most beautiful boutique hotels I have ever been. It feels like the Princess has invited you to stay at her house. Amazing rooms, extremely nice people work there, dinner at the courtyard excellent. We has the best experience.

    We arrived early and the staff were kind enough to let us check-in 2 hours before check-in time. They were friendly and helped us with our bags. The room was clean and comfortable, but the shower needs a curtain or doors to avoid splashing the whole bathroom. The pool area was lovely, just a lack of shade on a very hot day. The rooftop restaurant had amazing food for dinner. The location is perfect. We mostly walked to any place we wanted to see in Stone Town. It's also very close to the ferry and other boats going to Prison Island.

    This place was a hideen gem. The hostel is one of the oldest guest house in the city, full of old photographies an objects, carpets on the floor and spaces were to sit and relax. Amazing rooftop with view on the port and the sea life. Nice sunset. The stuff extra friendly, the girls who served breakfast as well, take care of the details. They can order food for dinner or lunch in case you need it. Walkable distance from the centre.

    The view from this hotel is excellent. The bed was comfortable. One could walk down to the beach easily. If you are on a very tight budget, this is an ideal place to stay, do not expect the usual luxuries associated with beach resorts. If you like a rustic feel of an old inn, with weathered walkways, steps and exteriors of the buildings, then you will be at home.
