In our view a great place to stay for a couple of days. The layout of the inn gives a real feeling of staying at a friends house, and thus it is very relaxing. Run by Agnes, the inn is well located overlooking the beautiful Kelele Square, and is a mere stones throw from the twisting streets of the main town. The best rooms here are definitely the Sultan and Princes room, the Sultan room also have fantastic view out over the square. A real alternative to Emerson & Green.

Beyt al Chai - The Detail
With just 6 en suite rooms, the inn has an intimate and private feel. Horsehair sofas, bold batics and finely crafted Zanzibari furnishings complement a rich palette to create a convincingly authentic traders house. All the rooms are air conditioned, and a couple have wide stone baths.
