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.

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.

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.
