Rooms were clean, really appreciate the quiet AC and clean comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly checking in and at the restaurant. And the security guards at the door were really helpful pointing me to a bank and guiding me to a fantastic taxi to the airport.

Excellent property within easy distance of Fort Jesus and Old Town,even easier if you grab a nearby tuktuk for a 200 ksh ride. Aircon was powerful, wifi reliable, front desk reception was welcoming and easy, buffet breakfast had many options of Kenyan, Indian and English. Felt welcome, safe, and comfortable. Recommended for those who want to stay in Mombasa Town.

The room was ok, but our safe and fridge did not work. Our room key stopped working twice and we had to get it replaced. Loud birds (crows?) outside all night/morning. Lower water pressure in the showers. Not the best value for money. Probably wouldn’t stay here again. Staff were pleasant.

I stayed here previously all the way back in 2008. The property has received an upgrade and is still a lovely spot. Each one of the staff was extremely kind and helpful. I also really appreciated the glass water bottles and refillable toiletries in the bathroom, which avoids the excess use of plastic.
