A lovely historical hotel in the center of Stonetown. The rooms are compact and perfect for a short visit. There is a beautiful courtyard with a small pool to cool down after a hot day of sightseeing. The staff are very accommodating

A memorable stay in a wonderful hotel
I had an amazing experience during my one day overnight stay at the hotel. The entire staff were so welcoming, helpful, courteous, and attentive to my needs. The room i stayed in was impeccably clean and tidy. The food both dinner and breakfast was the best i had during my trip. I didn't lack for much during my stay. The hotel staff assisted with any questions that i had. I would definitely stay at the hotel during any future return trips back to Zanzibar. I also recommend it to anyone thinking of a possible lodging option during a Zanzibar visit.

8/10 Very good

Clean, friendly, and authentic Zanzibar
Good hotel, friendly staff, authentic experience. The only downside to Kohlle House is it’s location. Still close to many top attractions, but being close to the ferry terminal means for a less safe evening experience. It shouldn’t be enough to say no to Kohlle House, just be aware of your surroundings and stay on the boardwalk as long as possible.

Fabulous trip to Stone Town!
Spent a terrific three nights at Kholle house with my 20 year old daughter -- we shared a room and were very comfortable. Enjoyed the central location, the service and the food! Staff were friendly and helpful and we highly recommend the spice farm tour and a massage -- both booked through the hotel front desk! Thank you to the staff for making our stay so special! We also recommend booking a walking tour of the city -- the streets can be a bit confusing. :) *Pool is LOVELY!

Hotel is very nice but the best part about the stay was the staff!! Everyone there was very friendly and professional. The front desk attendant Sebastian was exceptional!!! Anything we needed he was more than willing to assist. He is a huge asset to your hotel

The hotel is beautiful and the location is excellent. The food also is great, and the Swahili dinner they organize on the roof is a great experience.
