Msa is an old town which is expansive to travel into.My short stay can't sum up the trip.Requires a week or longer to sum it up.Generally,a day for a tourist destination the better.Had a wonderful time and my kids had a blast!Will surely try other parts of Coast;maybe South Coast.
As a Backpacker I found the city really easy to get around. Matatu goes and comes in most of the directions, if not you can get a tuc tuc or motorbike taxi. It has some good night life and amazing beaches next to it such as Bamburi, Nyali and Diani.
Mombasa is a crazy.busy city...with very diverse culture..some areas very poor and others modern and affluent..everyone is super friendly but will ll try to sell you something..just a firm no thank you repeated 100 times they will eventually get the message.
Mombasa was a fascinating destination. The highlight definitely was the white sandy beaches and the warm sea which was ideal for swimming. We also enjoyed the visit to Fort Jesus and walking around the old Mombasa streets which really took us back in to time. The rich history of the town - Swahili, Portuguese and Omani links and the Indian trading community all made it special. What we didn't like was industrial areas are just within the town and there is a lot of pollution and dumps around the outskirts of the town and the narrow streets are congested with huge trucks. The crowds at the public beaches make it better for tourists to visit during the week rather than the weekend.
Interesting history with many old buildings dating back to the spice trade days. Travelling within the city is difficult due to there being too many cars on the roads. Good place to purchase inexpensive merchandise.
“Nice hostel close to the beach, a shopping mall and transportation to Mombasa (tuktuk or matatu). A nice pool and bar to relax by. Young atmosphere, but where a 50-year old like me felt well... ;-) The price is outstanding for what you get.”
“location; swimming pool; gym; ease of access to beach; didn't use opportunity to use the other restaurants which would have reduced the eventual monotony of full board; booked one night but stayed 2; it was off-season so felt like I owned the place; maybe hotel should warn the gullible not to venture into the ocean without covered soles, stepped on urchins but friendly staff gave first aid and removed more than 10 spikes free of charge - beach boys were asking for USD30”
“Great balcony, spacious room, good shower, not overly expensive, reasonably good location half-way between the centre of Mombasa and the Centre of Nyali, cheap drinks in the fridge, friendly staff.”
“The location is excellent for people visiting Mombasa Town. I thought the staff was very friendly and courteous.”
“Everything is perfect - the beach, the restaurant, the rooms, the staff. One could spend a long time in this hotel and not get bored.”
