This historical Arabian-style building is located in the UNESCO-listed town of Lamu. It is less than 984 feet from the seafront and 1.9 mi from the white sandy beach.

The fan worked through the night. The staff was nice even though clearly unable to keep up this place. They were willing to "upgrade" the room for free to something slightly less horrible than the first (and closer to the description of what we booked). They were also nice enough to give us needle and thread to allow my wife to sew and try to repair the mosquito net provided on site (dirty and full of holes).
These hotels offer something unique in terms of design and are usually set in a trendy, urban part of town. Blending high standards with a homey vibe, boutique hotels are more intimate than your average hotel.
The decor and design, the hotel was stunning with beautiful decor all over. It had a beautiful courtyard that our room overlooked.
Perfect location in rhetorical heart of lamu with a stunning view of the water.
The staff were all so kind and helpful. The barman made the best cocktails! Food was great, breakfast was an incredible feast, recommend the Swahili breakfast.
An oasis-like escape from the hustle and bustle of Lamu Town right outside its doors. Lovely and helpful staff. Well-kept and well designed facilities. Multiple pools to choose from for a daily swim.
The hotel is fully equipped with everything you need from fresh towels, body lotion and shampoo. Also if you go swimming often, they even have a hair drier. I loved the comfortable beds with good mosquito nets. More so, the hotel is very beautiful with Swahili architectural designs and furniture. During our stay, the staff were very kind and the Swahili breakfast was delicious.
Jivanjee was so helpful in linking us to affordable services such as dhow rides and helped us in anything we needed.
Beautiful boutique hotel with large spacious rooms done up in a gorgeous Swahili style and a massive common area, right in the heart of Lamu Old Town's narrow roads. Safari, Johnson and Abu are really great. Safari in particular went out of his way to help us make our stay amazing, such as finding us a dhow captain to organise a private dhow trip. I'd 100% recommend Andavelo House for your Lamu stay.
The hotel and grounds are absolutely gorgeous. Full of beautiful and well designed nooks to explore. The new construction makes it a little disjointed but still lovely.
Fantastic hotel with lovely staff, beautifully designed rooms and delicious food. Everything was perfect - wish I could have stayed longer!
