Convenient location close to Fort Jesus and hotel organized a guide for us to the fort and Old Town. Great kitchen that even made us an early breakfast for us to cash our train. Neat hotel and we were exited to see room 104 where Obama stayed in 1987.

I was looking for a room that was conveniently located, clean, and comfortable, and that is what I found at the Lotus Hotel. Only a short walk from everywhere I wanted to be, it was easy to reach by taxi or tuk-tuk, yet tucked away on a quiet street and free of solicitation. The staff positively sparkles, and everyone I met was attentive, warm, and accommodating. Leave your key at the front desk when you go out for the day, and come home to a wrapped plate of fresh fruit, a bottle of spring water, and a spotless room. Need anything at all in particular? Ask, and everyone will do whatever they can to make it happen. Are you hungry, but too tired to go out and find a restaurant that day? The one they have downstairs is tasty and plenty satisfying for a good price. Breakfast is free, and includes a continental spread that changes daily alongside any one dish made-to-order. The Lotus is no fancy resort and spa, but I enjoyed my stay here as much as any other hotel I've ever been to.

My friend and I had a great experience staying at Lotus Hotel when visiting Mumbai. Located in a great location. Great service and hospitality. Breakfast is delicious and the meals at dinner are good too.

When I was on a recent business trip, I stayed at the Lotus Hotel. First of all, the personnel at the front desk, restaurant, and keeper of the rooms are outstanding. It should be commended for their kindness and expertise. Although extremely dated and in need of renovation, the hotel itself is old. The rooms are rather basic. The entire time I was there, I never took a hot shower. Both the pillows and the mattresses were extremely firm. The restrooms also do not use shampoo. A pleasant surprise in a bustling downtown city, the hotel was quiet. Additionally, it is extremely secure. When he was still in college, the former president, Barack Obama, remained there. The cuisine was decent but lacked a hot water kettle. I was shocked that the rooms had no hot water kettle. The amenities could definitely be improved, despite how excellent the staff were. Overall, a pleasant visit.

Polite and helpful staff. Good location for seeing the Old Town. Bed could be more comfortable.

This hotel is not in a beach area but if you stay in Mombasa one of those nights will be a convenient place. Even though I saw some negative feedback about this hotel, everything worked out. For a family of four it's a convenient setup and in a great location.

シングル料金がありリーズナブルで、町からも近く便利だった。従業員がフレンドリーで、ツアーのトラブル解決を色々と手伝ってくれたので助かった。観光から帰ってくると果物が置いてあり、心遣いがうれしかった。朝ごはんも美味しかった。シャワーがちょろちょろとしか出なかったのが残念。

Check in - They seemed confused and a little bit annoyed that I was checking in. But it was pretty quick and easy The room - Was small and the a/c is just a fan, so it won really cool down the room. The water pressure was nice and steady, which was a big plus. Breakfast - again they seemed a bit annoyed that I was there but I got a Spanish omelet with toast which was pretty good. Location - the location was pretty good, close to old town and right next to Fort Jesus. I had only one day in Mombasa so I was very happy for the location!

The hotel was definitely a classic as some signs stated around the entry. The water pressure was very low, the air conditioner was weak, the bed/pillow were hard. The staff was friendly. The area was quiet but a short walk to restaurants. I probably wouldn’t stay again unless the price was pretty low.
