We were travelling to Mombasa by train from Nairobi, when the train stopped 90 km west of town early in the morning and the conductor told us: "You're on your own!" Sorry, the train would not get going again today, and sorry, they could not help us. So we called the Castle Royal, where we had booked rooms for the... More

The location's pretty good....walking distance to Fort Jesus and to discover the old town. Service was at best average. The staff was friendly. The rooms are basic....hot water only twice a day. Not very convenient for some of us who take hot showers whether in the north pole or sahara desert. However, we did have a good night's sleep. Breakfast... More

Enjoyed a very good conference on the roof top! a large room, excellent air - conditioning (actually needed to switch it off at one point!) with a good PA system and lighting. Followed by a delectable buffet dinner outside on the terrace. Food was tasty, well presented, and generous servings. Drinks were reasonable priced and fresh juices were a treat!... More

Clean rooms with AC, fan and bath-tub. Stayed there twice, third floor, to the back (not street side). Ok value for the money (we payed 80US$ for a double). In walking distance of old town and market. More

This hotel's website advertises rooms at KSH5,100, which has not been updated since 2010 and is now KSH6,000 for a double. But non-resident rates (not properly advertised ) are $125! Far better hotels in the area for half that price (even for non-residents!). We stayed at the Sai Rose hotel which had air con, fan, lcd TV etc for just... More

We stayed at the Castle Royal hotel in Mombasa for a few days. The hotel is located in the heart of town, within easy walking to restaurants, markets, Fort Jesus, old town etc. You can sit in the verandah having breakfast, lunch or dinner and watch the world go by. We used the travel desk for our island hopping and... More

Located by the main street gives great location but loads of noise as well. Room was decent, but was surprised with info in the bathroom of timing hot water. Breakfast buffet was very disappointing especially due to the fact that hotel restaurant serves great meals - I strongly recommend steak in pepper sauce with couple of White Caps! More

My family and I stayed at the Castle Royal on 17th August, sadly just for one night. The hotel has a great vintage feel, the staff is friendly, the location is good and our room - a triple - was clean and very spacious. We also had dinner there and the food was not a disappointment. The only minus point... More

At the price this is a very comfortable hotel. It is clean but yes it is in need of a few repairs here & there. The restaurant serves good food. It is in a location central to the business district & very close to the train station. More

Some simple and inexpensive repairs, and attention to service would make this a much better hotel. Location is good, as is basic style of hotel in common areas. Room size is okay and reasonably equipped/furnished, internet available at a price, staff (desk and housekeeping) friendly and helpful, room rate is not so expensive. But, hot water only twice a day,... More
