Kisiwa House
The staff are exceptionally warm and welcoming. The property is a beautifully preserved historic building. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated. The breakfast and dinner were excellent. It is an ideal location if you are planning to explore Stone Town by foot. We highly recommend staying here!
