“Special thanks to Festus for always checking if I was okay, and Karisa for kindly carrying my bag to the dock at checkou”
+I had a lovely stay at Jannat House! The location is within walking distance of the dock, and the accommodation is quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed the breakfast every morning, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming.
−My only small downside was the lack of hot showers. I know Lamu is hot, but some of us still love a nice, warm shower.

“Amazing gem in Lamu Old Town”
+Beautiful old merchant’s house full of unique charm and right in the middle of the old town - I had such a relaxing stay at Jannat House. Caroline helped organise transfers to and from the airport at the last minute and helped arrange a guide and excursions around Lamu and Sheila. All the staff were exceptionally kind and friendly and there’s a very tasty and generous breakfast included in the cost of the room. Can’t complain! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone!
−Nothing as such

“Great value swahili style hotel in heart of old town with helpful and friendly staff,”
+Really friendly and helpful staff. Hotel well located in old town and with charming swahili style layout of rooms clustered round a central courtyard. Rooms airy and clean.
−Lack of hot water system for showers. Lots of stairs to climb meant great views but would be a problem for people with poor mobility, though there are some rooms at ground level.
