The owner Mohamed is lovely and completely trustworthy. I felt very safe there. He was super helpful and met me at the dock to bring me to the hotel. He has some great recommendations for where to eat and how to book a dhow trip. You will not find a cheaper accommodation on the island! Excellent value. The rooms even have private bathrooms!
The location and staff was always available to assist with any issue you may have. Highly recommend this place- Will definitely be back again soon.
The Location, the garden is gorgeous and the food to die for
Great cheaper option in Shela, perfect location just a few minutes walk to the beach. The room was clean and had a fan for the heat, and there is a nice pool. Staff were helpful and friendly, the continental breakfast was okay, they offered a Swahili option for the second day but I unfortunately had to leave early before trying but I would recommend asking for that if you're interested. Overall I think it was a great option for the price, and I would stay again :)
Loved this place! Spotless, good food, great staff, authentic, breezy and bright room And best of all the location is smack bang in the middle of old Lamu- we loved it.
Subira House was perfect as a sole traveller and for an extended stay (10 days). Kiki, Paul, Mohammed and all the staff made me feel really welcome and I met so many lovely people through the social dinners and breakfasts. Breakfast was amazing and the location was ideal in the middle of the old town. Have already recommended to friends and will stay here whenever I'm back in Lamu
The location is very central in Lamu Old Town. Close to the port so easy to get to when arriving from Manda airport and anywhere else you might be traveling in from. The property is open and spacious, very clean and Zion was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The property is well equipped and each of the 3 rooms a good size. The pool was a nice option to cool off in. Le Dolce Toro is a great nearby coffee shop with outdoor space and Peponi Hotel was a lovely spot for lunch/dinner.
Very good value for money. Great location. Place was clean. Tom the manager was very responsive and helpful. He made a great breakfast every morning. I would recommend this place for a budget traveler.
