Kwale Residence, hotel in Stone Town

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Kwale Residence is a recently renovated homestay situated in Kiembi Samaki, 6.1 km from Peace Memorial Museum.

The house is pretty nice, room modest but it was fine for our short stay, the AC was really helpful due the hot weather, everything was nice and clean. Maybe the location is a bit hidden and the road that takes to the hotel a bit rough but good location close to the airport
