We stayed at the Jacaranda for one night before our safari and again prior to our return home. Rooms are clean no air con but there is a ceiling fan. Bathrooms are clean and well equipped. Location is good with a pizza restaurant and a good shopping mall just across the road, we also found a sports bar within a... more

We arrived at the Jacaranda Hotel after an excellent flight with BA. The reception we received was freindly and affable. Welcoming soft drinks and and friendly smiles before being shown to our room. Twin bedded but clean and servicable which was all that we expected plus an excellent breakfast in the morning. We stayed for 3 nights prior to our... more

It also very expensive for what you get...i stayed for 4 nights and moved to another hotel (wassini) and would not... more

We stayed at the Jacaranda for a stopover for the last night of our honeymoon and what was supposed to be a romantic, wonderful end turned out to be the worst night of the trip. We left our fantastic all inclusive hotel (Voyager Beach Resort) in Mombasa at 4.15pm to catch a flight to Nairobi for the stopover that would... more

We were concerned about staying in the Jacaranda after the reviews we read but knew it was only for an overnight stay before we started our Safari. However the hotel ended up ruining the rest of the week!! The Jacaranda is not in an idyllic loacation so do not go if you are looking for a nice view!!! The porters... more

We were quite worried about staying here overnight before going on safari as the reviews have not been great. However we found this hotel comfortable and pleasant. There is building work going on by the pool and it is noisy during the day, but no problem at night. The staff are friendly and even escorted us across the road to... more

It was really great to be able to dump our things, and realax before we decided to take the option of visiting the... more
