Lovely old hotel with many room options but no elevators. We had 3 flights of stairs to room but they do have lovely ground floor rooms as well. There was some noisy renovation going on at the hotel.

I loved everything about this property. The hospitality of the staff in all areas, the open lay out of the property and proximity of dining to the ocean, the clean and beautiful rooms, and the quality and variety of food options at the breakfast buffet. The property is perfectly located at walking distance to shops, restaurants and main markets. I would definitely stay here again without a doubt. A big thank you to Tembo House!!!

10/10, for the price you get a lot! Would highly recommend. Room was spacious and v clean. Extremely friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to help. Great location and they also offered to store our luggage when we went on safari. So glad we chose this property. Cannot fault it. Thank you for a great stay from room 3000 ;)
