The hotel was wonderful, old, and exceptionally comfortable. I got a reasonably spacious room with a private bathroom. - the location was absolutely perfect, around 10-15 minutes walk from a third-rate museum. - It was really close to the center of town and very close to boats for beaches.

I loved my stay at Amu House in Lamu! The room was cozy and clean, with a lovely city view from the balcony. The bed was comfortable and the linens were soft. It felt like a home away from home.
The only thing I didn't personally like was that there were no smoking rooms available. But hey, that's just my preference and I understand that it's better for others who don't smoke.

The decoration of Amu House is absolutely stunning, with beautiful wall carvings and a minimalist decor that perfectly complements the traditional Swahili architecture. The general areas of the house, including the rooftop terrace, provide a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for senior people looking to unwind and enjoy the sea views and sunsets. The accessibility of the hotel is also commendable, with easy navigation through the house and comfortable rooms designed to suit the needs of older guests.
It would have been even better if there were handrails or support bars installed in certain areas of the hotel, especially in the bathrooms, to provide additional safety and convenience for senior people.

The rooms were super spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The rooftop terrace was mind-blowing, perfect for chilling out day and night. The simple breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh mangoes and Swahili platter. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in arranging activities and giving guidance on exploring the amazing old town. We'll definitely be back for another incredible stay one day.

Ik had een geweldig verblijf in het hotel in deze stad. De kamer was mooi en ruim, en het was erg schoon. Het hotel had natuurlijk uitstekende faciliteiten. Ik kon gemakkelijk mijn auto parkeren in de ruime parkeergarage. Gelukkig was de locatie van het hotel perfect, want het was dichtbij het stadscentrum. Het openbaar vervoer was natuurlijk in de buurt, waardoor ik snel en gemakkelijk naar het centrum kon reizen. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid en bood veel keuzemogelijkheden. Tot slot was het personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam tijdens mijn verblijf.
Erg blij dat er geen negatieve aspecten zijn, het was perfect.

The rooms at Amu House are basic but clean, and the showers are also clean. The hotel has a great location in the center of town - close to boats for the beaches and the airport. The breakfast is delicious - with a nice selection of fruit and fresh filter coffee. The staff - especially Harrison - are friendly and efficient.
Would be happy to recommend.

The room at Amu House was absolutely amazing, with a cozy seating area and a stunning city view from the balcony. It made me feel like I was living in a dream!
Personally, I didn't enjoy the absence of a safety deposit box in the room, but I understand that some guests might not find it necessary.
