The staff are switched on, informative and helpful. The decor creates a wonderful ambience and the rooms are spotlessly clean. I cannot recommend this place enough, 10/10. Don't worry too much about the location, the walk to the main streets is a matter of minutes.

What a beautiful building tucked out of the way in Stone Town! Simply gorgeous interior - very unique feeling. Our rooms were quite small, but certainly adequate for our needs, and had such a romantic, antique feel that we felt like we were in another time and place! There was a lovely balcony with table and chairs just outside our... More

We stayed for two nights with our son in January and found the hotel to be charming and the staff efficient and very kind. Both my husband and I had problems with our eyes and they went above and beyond the call of duty to help us out. In fact my excellent rating is probably down to the staff otherwise... More

We stayed at Kholle house for 2 nights and felt we had been visiting friends,the atmosphere of the hotel was so welcoming and friendly. The owner has done a great job in transforming the hotel from a building site using traditional materials,leaving you with the feeling that the Sultan's daughter is about to walk in. The staff did everything they... More

The website makes this hotel look better than it really is. It is pleasant but seems overpriced. Entrance area is cramped buy courtyard with pool is nice. There are several other alternatives in town. We were glad we booked the suites which were spacious. Number 15 is especially nice and has a huge bathroom. We enjoyed the small but lovely... More

After seeing and add for lunch and dinner, a friend and myself tried Kholle house for lunch. Very disappointing, of the five starters and main courses on offer hardly any thing on this small menu was available. When we arrived we were greeted by a gentleman and seated out side which is lovely close to the pool, we placed our... More

Great value in big contrast with Stonetown itself, highly recommended. Sleeping in the Sultans house. Very near to the harnour en towncenter. But a bit to close to the iman tower from the mosk. The owner has done a great job in restoring this house with cultural background. Nice small garden en swimming pool

We stayed for a couple of nights, and then another night on our way back home. We didn't get to take advantage of the stay-two-get-the-third-free deal, but they did upgrade us for our second night, and for our return stay. The furnishings were beautiful, the building was gorgeous, the small pool, garden and salon, as well as the rooftop lounge... More

We stayed at the Kholle House for two nights in their suite on the third floor. We enjoyed the rooftop terrace where we had wine and faluca pipes. The room was very pretty and spacious, although the mattress was a little hard for our liking. It was in a great location, close to restaurants and gardens and the ferry terminal.... More
