Kholle House

Historisches Gebäude mit viel Liebe zum Detail restauriert. Alles ist stimmig. Das Zimmer sehr schön und eigentlich ruhig (bis auf die Muezzin, das ist in Stonetown halt so). Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Restaurant bietet ein leckeres Frühstück und ist auch zum Dinner empfehlenswert.

I stayed at Kholle House for a solo getaway, and it was exactly what I needed. I came looking for rest and slow wandering, and this place delivered. Tucked right in the heart of Stone Town, it made it so easy to explore, get a little lost in the winding streets, and then wander back "home" for quiet evenings and amazing food (I’m still thinking about that chicken curry - 10/10). The room was cozy, peaceful, and honestly? I slept so well. Like, deeply rested. That kind of sleep that tells you your body feels safe and your mind has finally exhaled. The staff were warm, kind, and quietly attentive. Never intrusive, just always present in the best way. It felt like staying with people who genuinely wanted you to have a beautiful stay, not just tick boxes. If you’re looking for a base that feels both central and calm, beautiful but not fussy - Kholle House is it. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Mi estancia de una semana en Kholle House ha sido muy buena superando las expectativas que tenia creadas antes de viajar . El personal siempre ha sido amable y con una sonrisa haciéndome sentir bien. La limpieza del hotel es impecable, las camas son muy cómodas. También hay que destacar el desayuno, especialmente por el zumo de frutas fresco y diferente cada día, también en la cena o en la comida tienen muy buenos platos, en los que se nota la calidad de los ingredientes. Este hotel es el lugar perfecto si quieres disfrutar de un sitio tranquilo y desconectar del ajetreo de Stone Town. Gracias por haberme hecho sentir tan bien. Si vuelvo a Zanzibar este será mi lugar de referencia. Asante kwa kila kitu. Nilijisikia vizuri sana katika hoteli yako.

Das Kholle House war ein wunderschönes Erlebnis. Es liegt sehr zentral und ist somit der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für viele Ausflüge. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und auch das Abendessen mit seinen vielen regionalen Gerichten ist sehr zu empfehlen. Das Personal in allen Bereichen war stets sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Besonders bedanken möchte ich mich bei Steve, dem General Manager, Irene an der Rezeption für die tolle Unterstützung mit meinem bei der Fluggesellschaft verloren gegangenen Gepäck sowie Babu Ali, dem Night Host, und Daud, dem Fahrer, für ihre Hilfsbereitschaft und Freundlichkeit.

I had a wonderful time here. It's tucked away in a quiet part of Stone Town but still within easy walking distance to everything. The food really impressed me, and the pool is a great size for a relaxing swim. I stayed in the Swahili Suite, which was spacious and had a comfy bed. There's a lot to appreciate in the place with its cosy, heritage vibe throughout the architecture and interiors. The staff were also chilled and helpful so it made things easy. If you enjoy boutique hotels this is certainly one to consider.

The building is amazing, as a work of art, as a historical witness and as a living unit. Is in it self a piece of Stone Town soul, gathering in harmony the different cultural accomplishments. it works, mainly vertically, the rooms are well divided, organized and connected. Personnel is helpfull, attentive and lovely. Common spaces: Reception is next to the entrance. It's quite an operational area and an eficient one. The check-in is warm and confortable, done in the living room. It seams as a music room too. Cozy chairs and beautiful decorations as also hapens at several small staying spaces, in niches and along connection rooms The garden is deeply arab, refreshing, restful and intim, a feast for the senses. Miss a few places to lay down though. The swimming pool is clean and enough to be a good relieve after the heat and the city walks and discovery. Next to it is a Swahalli veranda, perfect for reading a book, playing table games or just have a meal, drink or nice conversation and gathering. Part of the garden works also as an extension of the dinning room, whitch, per si, makes the eating experience much better. From the 6 different restaurants I went, this was definitely the best. The food is made with knowledge and care. Going up, the rooftop terrace is generous but misses a bit of character to the function of Tea House acess. This, on other hand, doesn't miss anything. Wonderful, for the view, the atmosphere, the furniture. Private spaces: I picked the more economic room. It's confortable, with a small bathroom and everything working well and in good state but has few natural light, which is a bit unsettling. Services: There should be a dedicated space for massages. The transfers are efficient as well as the tour services. The tour offer should go beyond common tourist attractions
