    fantastic location really close to everything with views of the town and water. and so close to the town centre, a real labyrinth of stairs leading up to individual rooms, loads of character, a clinic and the square.

    I recently stayed at Wildebeeste and it was amazing! The manager went above and beyond by arranging airport pick-up and making sure I had everything I needed. The location is perfect, right in the center of town. The rooms are spacious and the WiFi works well. The hostel has a unique Swahili style, with antique furniture and a fully equipped kitchenette. The bathroom has great shower pressure and the host even provided solar lights for power outages. It truly felt like a home away from home!

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Authentic Swahili mansion, beautiful courtyard, great value for money, rooftop bed for stargazing and ocean view, located in the heart of the UNESCO heritage sight, gracious and cute host.

    Could not be improved in any way.
