Jannat House, hotel in Shela

Offering an outdoor pool, garden and a restaurant, Jannat House is located in Lamu Old Town. It is located a short walk away from the Waterfront and the Main Road. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

Staff was wonderful. Extremely accommodating. They were able to meet us at the airport and the pier and lead us to the hotel. Which I recommend as the old town area of Lamu is a bit of a maze. The building has super authentic architecture and lots of outdoor areas to relax.

LAMU HOUSE, hotel in Shela

Located in Lamu and with 18th Century Swahili House Museum reachable within a 1-minute walk, LAMU HOUSE has concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a restaurant, free WiFi and a bar.

The hotel was great, hanging out by the pool was wonderful. Reminded me of the Road hotels in Morocco with the pool in the centre open with plants around. The meals were all very tasty and portion sizes just right. The view from our balcony was informative and immersive to watch. Our room was kept spotless and netting around bed much appreciated, that being said we had only one mosquito bite between the two of us. Many people came by on the tour to take photos of the pool, I think the hotel was part of the tour of Old Town. Shout out to Esther at the front desk, always friendly and took care of any needs we had. Wifi was excellent.

    Great place with no other than pedestrians and donkeys.

    Great place with no other than pedestrians and donkeys. Lovely locals and not to many visitors. A day spended out on sea, for fishing and snorkeling ia a must, fishermans are just the Kings!! Seafood cooked at your place is a must, fishes, crabs, vegetables, all with great spices.
