Kisiwa House BOUTIQUE HOTEL $$$
( 024-223 5654, 0777-789272; www.kisiwahouse.com ; r US$165-220; ) The lovely
Kisiwa House (formerly Baghani House Hotel) has nine rooms that are full of character.
Most are on the upper level and reached via a steep staircase (the one on the ground
floor next to reception can be noisy). All have dark wood and Zanzibari furnishings, and
two have large bathtubs. There's a small courtyard and a rooftop restaurant. It's just off
Kenyatta Rd.
Tembo House Hotel HOTEL $$

155; ) This attractively restored building has a prime waterfront location, in-
cluding a small patch of beach (but no swimming), efficient management and comfortable,
good-value rooms - some with sea views - in new and old wings. Most rooms have a TV
and fridge, and there's a small pool, a restaurant (no alcohol) and a great buffet breakfast
on the seaside terrace.
Dhow Palace HOTEL $$
( 024-223 3012, 0777-878088; www.dhowpalace-hotel.com ; s/d from US$80/110;
Jun-Mar; ) This is a classic place with old Zanzibari decor, a fountain in the taste-
fully restored lobby and comfortable, well-appointed rooms. It's just off Kenyatta Rd, and
under the same management as Tembo House Hotel.
Abuso Inn HOTEL $
( 024-223 5886, 0777-425565; abusoinn@gmail.com; Shangani St; s/d/tr/f US$55/75/
90/100; ) This family-run place diagonally opposite Tembo House Hotel has spotless,
mostly quite spacious rooms with large windows, wooden floors and fan or air-con. Some
rooms have glimpses of the water.
Coco de Mer Hotel HOTEL $$
( 024-223 0852, 0785-099123; cocodemer_znz@yahoo.com; s/d/tw/tr US$40/ 60/60/
70) Coco de Mer is conveniently located just off Kenyatta Rd, near the tunnel, and vaguely
reminiscent of the Algarve, with white walls and tile work. Avoid the one closet-sized room
on the 1st floor, and the downstairs rooms, many of which have only interior windows;
otherwise rooms are pleasant and good value. There's a new restaurant on the ground floor
with smoothies, sandwiches and light meals.
