Reviews about The Swahili House
“I went with a friend for her birthday and the hotel staff went out of their way to make it a memorable stay. We came into the room and it was fully decorated with balloons and a happy birthday written on the bed with flowers. They prepared a cake that we then surprised my friend with in the room. Other friends and staff came in signing Happy Birthday in english and Swahili :-)”
