Great stay!

Had a wonderful stay, staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. One thing to bear in mind is that this location is in the town centre and not near Shella beach - it's either a 40 mins walk or a 15 minute boat ride. There is also no aircon on the island so it's just fans.

Lamu House is a lovely historic hotel right on the harbor front - top floor bedrooms facing the water are the best with cooling breezes. The staff could not be friendlier and the restaurant is tasty and popular. If you want an authentic experience of Lamu the town, this is the place . It is not a luxury resort type establishment like the ones out of town.

Oasis in Lamu Old Town

We loved the Lamu House hotel. The location was excellent and service wonderful. Not for people who can’t handle stairs however and may not be suitable for very young children but for us it was perfect. The restaurant was great too. Service was slower sometimes but it didn’t matter. Food was delicious. We loved the pool with the fragrant frangipani trees over it.

Would come back over and over again! The location is ideal, the building is gorgeous with incredible history. Be sure to enjoy the pool, and consider having a private meal in the back of the hotel. The price of our stay included a large bathroom, spacious sleeping area and lovely balcony. The sun poured in at sunrise, which was a beautiful way to wake up; it wasn't too loud at night. The price also included transfers to/and from the airport, which alone makes the trip much easier to navigate when arriving at the airport and also included breakfast, which was delicious. We had dinner at the restaurant, which was also fantastic. Yuri, the manager was helpful, the staff was courteous and welcoming. Be sure to take a tour with Abu and purchase some of his art. I will be sure to stay here when returning to Lamu. Can not recommend enough!

Very friendly, charming hotel

This is a lovely hotel if one accepts the lack of a/c. During the day, with shutters and doors open to the sea breeze, it is quite comfortable, but I found it oppressively hot to sleep. The manager, Esther, is simply terrific, and everyone is extremely friendly. My room was lovely, with a private courtyard leading to the small swimming pool. There is a good restaurant and a good b'fast. You need to decide whether to stay in Lamu Town (where this hotel is) or Shela. The latter is a bit more Westernized. There are no cars on the island, so you go up and down the coast via water taxi, for which you wade into the water up to your ankles. Bring sandals you are willing to get wet.

Gem of a boutique hotel.

What a gem of a boutique hotel. Quiet &safe. My top floor, seaview room had 2 balconies was very large & had a 4 poster mosquito netted king size bed. I left my balcony doors open at night. Only heard one mosquito. Giant walk in shower with benches in the bathroom, and an on sute masseuse. Staff was so nice. They recommended a wonderful tour guide, Abu Said who was very informative. As a very mature solo woman traveler, I felt very safe in this hotel & recommend it highly.
