Kholle House

Zanzibar City

The hotel organises an important range of indoor services such as massages in our spa room, live band swahili dinners happening in the tea house on the roof top and outdoor activities including visits to Stone town and Spice plantations. The hotel is an excellent location just behind the Old Dispensary (historical building), making it convenient to ask for directions in case you get lost in the small winding streets of the old town. Hotel embodies the traditional charm that Zanzibar is known for, both in its decor and kindness. Furthermore, every nook of the hotel exudes an Instagram-worthy aesthetic, providing ample opportunities to capture beautiful photos. Finally, don't miss the chance to enjoy the city's vibrant atmosphere from the stunning rooftop terrace. P.S. During my stay at the hotel, I noticed that they upgrading the electrical sockets to accommodate all types of plugs, eliminating the need for any adapters.
