Superb hotel

A lovely clean hotel but without doubt the best experience was the quality of service by the staff where nothing was too much trouble. If you want quality service with friendly helpful staff then look no further that the Hotel Sapphire. I will definitely use this hotel when I return later in the year.

I had a good, short stay. The staff were all very nice and welcoming. My room was pretty standard but it was clean and comfortable. My room card and the packet it was in was a little old and dirty but I assume it’s because they reuse them. I had some trouble getting a good WiFi signal, but luckily didn’t need it too much having stayed on a weekday. The safe in my room also didn’t work, but I didn’t mention it because as I didn’t really need it having only stayed one night. I was staying one floor above the restaurant so it did get a little loud at night but I didn’t mind because it was quiet before I went to sleep. The breakfast buffet was very good, offering a lot of options including traditional Kenyans and Swahili food. Overall, a solid stay.

Hotel General

Good enough to be right in the heart of mombasa. Walkable to mombasa mall. Great patio entertainment every night. Just the main reception charges extras for guests. My other hotel didn’t do it so it must be a company decision to do that. $2000 ksh per night. That’s a lot compared to booking for 2 travellers when booking.

Fantastic service, very reasonable price.

Absolutely excellent service. We had a wonderful Swahili breakfast with a lovely server that explained every dish to us. It was very special and we would definitely stay at this hotel again. Very reasonable price for what we got as well.

Music from the restaurant went on until midnight. Air conditioning didn't work in one of our first rooms. Room service brought up a bottle of Coke, but no bottle opener. Food ordered through room service was mediocre. The single best thing about our stay was the staff. They were very accommodating and kind.
