Everything was perfect, the bed was super comfortable, big shower with hot water, every day different activity at the bar and the most important -all the staff is super nice, attentive and friendly, especially Emily from the customer care. Will be glad to come back again in the future.

The photos don’t do the rooms justice. Very comfortable and spacious. The staff are all very attentive and hospitable! Food at the restaurant was also lovely. AC is good and strong in the rooms to cool you down after a day in the Mombasa heat. Well above and beyond expectations for the price.

I had an excellent stay at The Sapphire. The service and hospitality were outstanding. My room was comfortable and the food was very good. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. Sam at the front door and Brenda at the front desk were especially helpful in addressing my queries. Overall, I highly recommend The Sapphire to anyone looking for a quality stay and genuine hospitality.

Hotel Sapphire surprised me at how big it was with good restaurants and excellent service. It was very convenient to the commuter rail station. I had a comfortable stay with a clean, air-conditioned room. I wish the government in Mombasa would do more to clean up the area around the hotel because the location could be a great place for all kinds of travelers and locals alike.

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.

We stayed here for 2 nights. We thoroughly enjoyed the room, pool and service from staff. They were very helpful and ordered us a taxi for the trip back to the airport. A staff member also volunteered to assist us with getting change for a tuk tuk. Would stay here again.

Not bad but nothing to write home about

It's a decent place to stay. Room is noisey but staff are friendly and helpful. Room service quite good. Buffet breakfast quite good too (though only instant coffee). Do not disturb sign ignored by staff and woke us.

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.

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

6/10 Good

Disappointed. This hotel could be so good.

After arriving and checking in, we ordered a meal in the dining room by the swimming pool as a couple with 4 children. We ordered 2 sandwiches and 2 pizzas for the children to share. It took nearly 2 hours for the food to arrive!!! Very poor service for such a simple meal from the menu. The room was well appointed and comfortable. We booked 2 packet breakfasts as we were due to leave the hotel at 5:30am. We were so disappointed... 3 small slices of watermelon and some warm flatbread. Nothing else - not even a drink. The worst packed breakfast ever...!!!
