Providing garden views, a garden and free WiFi, Samaki House provides accommodation well located in Lamu, within a short distance of 18th Century Swahili House Museum, Lamu Museum and Lamu Fort. It is located 700 metres from Gallery Baraka and offers luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. I just loved the interior design of the place, the rooftop, the furniture... The room was really spacious, the bathroom too. The breakfast was good, Moses who was managing the place is very kind and helpful. It's very close to the pier and it was easy to reach.
