Nice little establishment, reminding me a lot of a Moroccan riad. Clean, close to the jetty and the main drag.

The hotel is close to the main road and jetty. This means you are central to everything, whether you want to move from one place to another,you are in close proximity to the starting point. Locals call the main road/street Pwani so be on the know. Also in the Old town where old residences are with beautiful and mixed architecture. There's hot water for those who value it,Wifi works perfectly well and the rooms are spacious. Enjoyed my stay and the staff were friendly.

“Lovely traditional house with beautiful roof terrace”
This is a beautiful old house with a lovely roof terrace, and we enjoyed the private balcony outside our room. It’s a great place to explore Lamu Town from, and Mohamed was super helpful and friendly, as well as an informative guide. They provided a cot for us, which was useful, and pick-up from the airport worked very smoothly. The breakfasts are delicious. I appreciated the commitment to reducing single-use plastic, with filtered water provided in the rooms.
