Located in Nyali, the posh part of Mombasa, but certainly not a poshy poshy hotel. It appears that this hotel caters mostly to conferences hosted by Kenyan government and tight budget NGOs. The room was on par with a $15/night inn, but at a $80/night price. PROs - Room A/C was good - on the beach - didn't hear the... More

I was booked here and while it is a good location it is clear that the hotel is not maintained. The toilet in my room has a rusty bottom and didn't flush well, the shower is built for someone 4 feet tall, the sliding doors did not shut well and the air conditioning did not work well. This place has... More

DO NOT STAY HERE. DO NOT VISIT. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HIRE THE MEN TO TEACH YOU HOW TO WIND AND KITE SAIL!!!!! This place is a filthy dump with employees who will tell you one thing, then make you pay 10x more. They are bullies. Also, the beach is dirty and filled with sellers and hustlers. Save your... More

My family stayed here for 2 days this year in September, 2011. When we got there, the rooms looked pathetic, the beds were not done, there was no fridge in the room. However we decided to suck it in and check out the next day, unfortunately, it was the muslim holiday Idi, and most hotels were fully booked. We had... More

We ended up here after our Monach flight went US. We were supposed to be staying in a comparable hotel to the one we had been in (Southern Palms Beach Resort, Diani Beach), let me tell you there is NO comparison. The place was filthy, the food foul (I got food poisoning), the rooms appalling, the beds had fleas, there... More

My stay at this hotel was my worst holiday ever in Mombasa. I had gone there on April 2009 with my wife and family after having an amazing stay at a hotel in the Tsavo East National park, so we were looking forward to two days of beach and fun. My hopes of fun at the hotel were quickly dashed... More

We spent one night here some five years ago after arrival and before going on a safari next morning. At that time we made such a fuss with our travel agency that they decided to compensate us. And promised never to use that hotel again!!! But surprise, when at Christmas we arrived in Mombasa after a very long trip (because... More

I have never felt the need to give a review such as the one i am giving below!! I checked into the hotel and was welcomed by a glass of fermented passion juice.

I stayed in Mombasa Beach Hotel for one week in Dec 2010. I had seen horrible reviews on this hotel but had no choice because I was late in doing my booking and as such it was the only available beach hotel at the time. I must say, it turned out not be as bad as I expected. We did... More

The hotel is DIRTY. I have never seen such a neglected garden - NEVER. There are plastic bottles everywhere, some rusty metal trash, everything is devastated. There are people working - I do not understand why they do not water the grass (it is completely dry), why they do not pick up the trash?!! WHY?!!! The garden furniture is also... More
