Kisiwa House
Lovely stay! A lovely small boutique hotel, with a lovely big room and bathroom including a bath! Right on the heart of Stone Town, very close to the harbour where you can get a boat to the various island. Staff exceptional, breakfast lovely, evening meal delicious with live local music. Highly recommend.
