The staff at Hiliki house are great, and really love the area. Just a bit too rustic for what I paid.

PLEASE BE AWARE. This place overbooks clients so when you arrive they say there is NO reservation under your name. Then they send you to another location of much lower quality. People at the new location confirmed that they do this all the time. It is not a mistake but rather a scam. I left that second location and was lucky to find a nice hotel nearby for the same price. I did get a refund but most people will probably stay where they are forced to stay due to lack of options and uncertainty. I strongly recommend not staying at the Hiliki House.

It was a trip to past. House maintained the architecture and decor of 1900s.

The hotel is located very close to the historical city center only 10min away from the beach. The hotel itself is clean and has a old Zanzibari atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helpful, IF they are present - morning receptionist hardly present, so you can not inform yourself in case of anything - Breakfast is basic but good! A very friendly lady arranges your breakfast, however it takes half an hour plus if you are with more than two persons in the breakfast area - When, like us, you want to book the room with the bathroom on the other side of the hall be aware that fellow guests (and even people from outside) use your bathroom, even if they say the bathroom is only for you to use. The receptionists just allow this and do not inform other guests. But if you have no problem with a stranger depositing a big load before you go for your shower, this room is perfect for you! - Please check with other taxi driver (private hire) in the city center before you book at the hotel. The hotel will not search for the best price for you. The difference can be quite big (up to 10 USD). - WiFi connection only functioning (not more than 5 mbps) at the reception desk, and drops dramatically when staff uses the WiFi Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our stay in Stone Town and Hiliki house gave us a good start for our holiday!

Well located, but rooms lack comfort: sheets are stained and ripped, mosquito net has several large holes, there’s a damp smell.
