This hotel is the centre if gravity in downtown Mombasa. Even if you don't stay there, it is a great place to meet friends or dine out. Great outdoor restaurant/bar. A bit pricey for its age, but stately in its own way. Close to all amenities. Travel agency there is helpful. Check out the Chinese restaurant in the back too!

Upon entering our room, my immediate thoughts were 'this is a murder scene waiting to happen.' Apparently the hotel was renovated recently but the definitions of 'renovated' and 'recently' are all in local context. For the room rate, you would expect much much better. In fact, you'd expect to pay about half or a third of the actual room rate.... More

The staff were friendly, helpful and had time for you for any assistance. The food hotel was very good and the buffet system had a variety of ranges catering for non-veg and veg people. We went on a safari tour to Amboselli via the hotel arrangements, the safari was not only superb, the arrangements of the tour ranging from the... More

Castle Royall is a very old historical meeting point Hotel in town. The Highest rating it can get is upto 2 Star. Although an discount is extended to me as a good repeat customer a find i it still rates are on high for the quality of the basic room offers to its customers.. Watch out sometimes the Hotwater system... More

It is conveniently located. Rooms are OK and the hotel appears rather safe. A bit pricy for the quality, but you are in the city center and in a "historical" place. I kind of enjoyed it for its colonial flavor. If you exit the hotel to your right and walk in this direction, you'll get to banks with ATMs to... More

The hotel is centrally located and has just adequate accommodation. A/C, hot water and telephone don't work most of the time. Internet, despite paying for 24 hrs, works only couple of hours. And there is always an excuse why. Our money was stolen from the room safe. Auditing by the hotel revealed a cleaner had visited our room when we... More

This is probably the best in Central Mombasa, but that is not saying much. Price should be lower. The lobby is very busy, as are the staff and it is quite noisy. The first room I had was run down and the A/C didn't work. The front desk clerk told me there were no other rooms available which I knew... More

The hotel is in the CBD. While this is convenient for conducting business in town, sleep is quite elusive because the rooms are right above a busy street. Thus one can kiss sleep good-bye from 5am. Power is not constant thus services like A/C are erratic, sometimes gone for long periods - not good in Mombasa weather. Most rooms are... More

This hotel is not worth your money - unless you're looking for a filthy room with mold on the walls and ceiling, no hot water whatsoever (they said there was a technical problem but after reading the other reviews, I am pretty sure they just don't have any hot water - ever!). The sheets are not clean, breakfast is terrible... More
