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.

町中で便利、歴史的建造物の風格

長旅の途中で疲れをとるのに最適。なんといっても植民地時代の初期の建物なので風格があります。ここに着くとほっとします。８月４～６日、１０日と４泊しました。部屋は十分な広さがあり、落ち着けます。７日の朝は６時に出発と慌ただしかったのですが、頼むとちゃんと６時前に朝食を用意していただけました。１０日に泊まった部屋はトイレの便器から水漏れがあったのが、ちょっと残念でした。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで、テラスでの食事も美味しかったです。

Castle ruin

The Sentrim Castle Royal Hotel is an historic place in Mombasa. Unfortunately, as castle, is breaking in pieces, and for the royal, there is nothing remaining of what it could have been. I got a room in the five floor extension built without lift !!! but was kindly moved to the old building, with a lift, but where an exhausted AC heates more than cooles the room. One of the features of these old building or new extension rooms are their dirty walls, including spots of mosquitos the clients crushed, sometimes blood included. The furniture is old, the curtains are dusty. I only got one towel in my room, for all purposes, body, hands and floor. The cold water faucet was broken and the shower water jet got no pressure, just kind of dropping ... For unknown reasons the hotel stills holds two stars and I was charged 100 USD, a scam !!! I was also charged for a cappucino I got instead of my breakfast. It is not a consolation, but the staff was nice.

Renovation Needed

I stayed 4 nights. The room furniture was outdated and needs modernizing. The bathtub fixtures were rusted, in particular the grab bars. Not little specks of rust but full-on (90%) rusted out. Didn’t feel safe even touching them to get in and out the tub. Each morning the bathtub had 3-4 centipedes in it. Water pressure and temperature weren’t adequate. The room wasn’t cleaned daily as evidenced by the bathtub ring and wash basin residue. Pay more and stay someplace else. Very disappointed.
