Rooms are clean and very spacious. All look over the water front, although there is no beach. Great outdoor space with 2 pools, lots of seating areas and different restaurants. Food in the Tamarind restaurant, although a little more pricey is excellent. Good selection of local and international dishes. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Also has a Spa, Gym... More

The view from my very spacious room was excellent and the quality of service within quite good. It offers diverse activities and seating such as restuarants and casino. More

Our apartment was tastefully and comfortably furnished with a lovely outside patio which overlooked Mombasa Island. The overall decoration was a little jaded: bathroom and kitchen areas were in need of refurbishment and a bath with shower over would have been better than the makeshift shower unit. As a fully equipped apartment, I thought that a small washing machine would... More

The Tamarind was simply gorgeous! We had an absolutely gorgeous suite and a balcony overlooking the ocean equipped with a full dining area and couches. The hotel has great facilities too with two pools and a gym and good food. The only problem was that we didn't explore Mombasa as much as we would have liked as we didn't want... More

I am a frequent visitor to Mombasa both on business and pleasure and have often stayed at Tamarind Village when we could not make it to our favourite Leopard Beach resort on famous Diani Beach . In June we discovered a new jewel at Tamarind Village - apartment 144. This is certainly the best we ever stayed in - completely... More

The rooms are enormous. You fit a couple of families into them. The staff are very helpful. Great balcony to relax on but, whilst beside the river, there is no beach onto the hotel. More

All rooms are big and comfortable however there is a big difference in quality. The first room I got was outdated (especially bathroom). Because there were renovation works ongoing on the floor above me, I moved to an appartment on another block. This appartment (room 133), nicely renovated, is better you could ever expect. The staff was at any time... More

The Tamarind Hotel is situated just off Mombasa island, near to Nyali bridge. It is in a stunning location on the sea opposite the Mombasa old town. The sights and sounds of Mombasa are really evocotive and can be experienced from your balocny or from one of the two lovely swimming pools. I have stayed at this hotel now about... More

I stay here usually when on business in Mombasa, and frankly its the location that forces me to stay here. The whole place is falling apart rapidly, I had to change 3 rooms as air conditioners were not working. I was there for a week, and the final 2 days had the ac in the living room again break down...

The Tamarind's standards at the same speed as their rates are going up. Unless they refurbish the apartments and public areas it's only deserving a 3* rating which comes at a 5* rate. The rooms are clean but dated, another annoying issue is that it's a real lottery what type of apartment one gets, some come with large flatscreen TVs... More
