The Swahili House

The roof top is very nice, with a view of all the city. And the food is good. It felt good to take a break here and rest from the heat and have a good lunch. The seafood is very good. Service too. And she spoke good English. Would recommend when in Stone Twon.

The Swahili House is well positioned in the old town and is an authentic renovation merchants house. The rooms are simple but spacious, clean with aircon and hot water. The staff were all welcoming and accommodating. They helped us find our way around d and even escorted us to an atm! The roof top restaurant is one of only a handful in the old town and offers great views of the city. The food might be a little more expensive because of this but it was good. A good breakfast is served on the roof also. Overall we very much enjoyed staying here.

From the moment you enter the gates you are amazed by the gorgeousness that is the Swahili House! Absolutely beautiful, rooms very spacious and the decor out of this world. Amazing friendly staff that go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Beautiful roof top with a stunning view over Stone Town. Food TOP NOTCH. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Very well located at the heart of the old city of Stone Town, near all shops and points of interest. This is a tradition style hotel with specific design and fourniture from India and Arabic influences. The roof bar and restaurant is a real plus to have an overview of the town, relax and enjoy cocktails. Nice service on top. Book with no hesitation.

Excellent affordable accommodation in the heart of stonetown. Bed was fantastic, staff were super friendly and helpful and the room was spotless. The roof top bar and free WiFi topped off the whole oackage. Can definitely recommend - it was excelkent value for money.
