⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent stay at Hotel Sapphire. The room was exceptionally clean and well maintained, with excellent amenities throughout. The bathroom was spotless and looked amazing, with a great shower and very clean facilities. As a traveler from Canada, I was particularly impressed by the level of cleanliness and overall quality. There were no bugs or bed bugs, and the hotel was maintained to a standard that reminded me of a Marriott hotel. Everything felt comfortable, safe, and welcoming. Hotel Sapphire truly felt like a home away from home. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mombasa and needing to stay in town.

If you’re looking for a solid hotel in the middle of Mombasa Island, this one is a good choice and I’m glad I picked it. (If you’re looking for absolute peace and quiet, you probably shouldn’t be looking in the middle of town.) Staff were all very friendly and overly-helpful. The restaurant had entertainment both nights I was there. If you’re coming in on the SGR train, and transferring to the local train, this hotel is right near the train station in the middle of town (note: the SGR does not go to the middle of town - you have to transfer at the SGR terminus to the local train). Food was good, room worked well, hot water could take a few minutes in the shower. Be prepared for prayer calls in the early morning from nearby mosques (you can hear them pretty much everywhere in town) - if you’re not prepared for them, it can be a little bit of a shocking wake up. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean - some of the pillows were really flat, others were decent. Towels were huge and soft! Overall, would I stay here again if in Mombasa? Yes.

Super søde personale, flinke og høflige, meget rene værelser, central belegenhed, men et stort problem var at jeg var i Ramadan da, og moske ved siden af, sang meget højt Quran frax18 til 22 og aller væreste fra morgen kl. 4 man kunne høre meget belastende Azan, jeg var 2 nætter der og kunne slet ikke sove. Så jeg ved ikke, om det er altid sådan fordi det var lige ved siden af moske eller det var sådan pga. Ramadan. Men jeg blev sindyg , kunne ikke holde ud.

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.

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.

Supert opphold

Ble tatt kjempegodt imot, svært imøtekommende og serviceinnstilte ansatte. Rommet var fint og rent. Upåklagelig service. Det som trekker ned er en del støy fra oppussing. Mye bråk fra tidlig morgen, noe som er kjedelig når man skal slappe av på hotell. Men bortsett fra det, ingenting å klage på. Maten i restauranten var god, vi benyttet oss av frokosten en dag, den var helt ok. Sentral beliggenhet. Hadde vært fint å få beskjed ved innsjekk at personale kommer tidlig morgen og kveld for å skru av/på lyset på balkongen.

Disliked: Amenities
I booked through Expedia and Expedia showed that the hotel had a hot tub. I wanted to stay in a hotel with a hot tub in order to relax for my last two days in Nairobi. However, when I arrived at the hotel, they told me that there was no hot tub. They said they could give me a room with a hot tub if I paid additional money, but that is not the same thing as booking a hotel that has a hot tub available for all guests to use in a common area. I contacted Expedia for a refund, but they refused stating that the hotel could’ve offered me a hot tub in my room for an additional expense. I should not have to pay additional for a hot tub after booking my room because there was already an understanding that the hot tub was included in the price, just like using the pool was already an included amenity. Hotels that offer hot tubs and pools have them in common areas for use by guests, and if an additional fee is necessary, that should be stated. I was very disappointed because I specifically chose this hotel to use the hot tub, and it was not available. In addition, the Internet did not work in the hotel during my stay. I still would like a refund because I did not get the services that I paid for when I booked the room.
