Built in 1860 for Princess Kholle, this central Stone Town hotel is a minutes’ walk from Zanzibar Ferry Terminal. It offers luxurious rooms, an outdoor pool and rooftop terrace with a Swahili-style tea house and Indian Ocean views.

We stayed one night at Kholle House and absolutely love it. This hotel is beautifully decorated and it's so clean. Love love the rustic feels. What impressed me the most is the hotel smells so fresh. There is so much wooden furniture but it smells so fresh, none of that musty smell. And the bed, oh my god, we had such a good sleep. And the water pressure in the shower is fantastic. Breakfast at the courtyard is really nice. And each floor there is something to discover. We stayed at the top floor and there is a staircase to the rooftop. We love this. It's so pretty up here. Staff are really friendly and accomodating. Would recommend this hotel to anyone! What you see in the picture is exactly how it is.

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.
