I left the hotel after the first night. Close to Mombasa travel attraction. I paid $35 a night. But i didn't feel safe in the hotel therefore decided to move after the first night. The hotel in on quiet street and that make it very difficult to get taxi to tuktuk at night. More

The staff was friendly and the rooms were quiet. Furnishings were basic and a bit tired, but adequate. Breakfast was good. The location was excellant -- close to all attractions, but on a quiet back street. This hotel represents excellent value for the budget traveller. More

I was in Mombasa and stayed at the Hotel for two nights. The location was great - near Fort Jesus, and near the financial district. It provided the flexibility of touring Fort Jesus and seeing Old town Mombasa in the afternoon after walking through town and the financial district in the morning. The outside bar was great for catching up... More

I stayed in this hotel last October for two weeks whilst on a school partnership visit. I didn't write a review then however since looking at the recent reviews I feel it necessary to write a review now to warn people of our experience. (Which we were reassured was a one off) The hotel is very basic (As most of... More

The hotel is nothing spectacular, but the rooms are clean and quiet. The restaurant is good, but the breakfast is nothing special. During ramadan you may be woken by the mosque located across the street. More

I stayed in this hotel in May 2010 for few nights. Hotel was clean and quiet, mosquito nets were in good shape. The staff were very nice! Only negative thing was laundry service which was slow and we had to wait our laundries longer than expected. But we got them juts in time before leaving from Mombasa. But nice hotel... More

After spending a wonderful time travelling around Kenya we spent a night at Lotus Hotel in Mombasa on our way down to Diani beach. Contrary to the rest of the trip where we met friendly people and experienced truly great Kenyan hospitality, this hotel was poorly run, dirty and unsafe. Upon arrival the room was unclean and poorly maintained but... More
