Delicious Rooftop Dining

“I had an amazing experience dining at the Seyyida Rooftop Restaurant. The view overlooking the ocean was simply amazing! I enjoyed a set menu that included fresh seafood, and everything was absolutely delicious. The chef’s sauces were particularly noteworthy, and at $25 for such generous portions, it felt like a fantastic value. The combination of the ambience and the food made for an lovely dining experience.” view full review

Spacious and Elegant Rooms

“The rooms at the Seyyida Hotel are impressively spacious and beautifully decorated. I loved that they blended traditional Swahili decor with modern amenities. It was a delight to find a tea/coffee making facility along with a mini-fridge. Additionally, I appreciated the attention to detail, like the nightly turn-down service that included good cookies waiting for me in the room. It truly felt like a home away from home.” view full review

“The pool area was a lovely spot to relax after a day of exploring. I found the pool to be well-maintained and the perfect size for a refreshing dip. There were clean towels available, and it was a great escape for those lazy afternoons. I enjoyed lounging around and soaking up the sun; it was such a pleasant way to unwind.” view full review
