A gem in mombasa, but was exhausted by lack of full nights/ early morning sleep
Pros:

Central location to Mombasa CBD. Ideal for business travels

Spacious rooms, beat showers and water pressure

Restaurant and wait Staff were excellent

Cons:

Noise - right next to mosque and speaker 🔊

Internal noise from housekeeping dragging beds in the morning. I did not get any rest for the2 nights I was there

Overall , it did not deliver value for money at

Disappointing
Pros:

I arranged a workshop training at this venue and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.

From the start, the meeting room was not set up as requested and even the group name was displayed incorrectly. When we requested coffee, we were informed that the machine was unavailable because another function was taking place. The sound system in the meeting room was also below standard.

To add to this, our group was later asked to delay lunch by 30 minutes because another group was being served first, without consideration for our own programme schedule and timing.

My concern is not that issues arose, but that the venue appeared to have accepted more meeting groups than it could comfortably accommodate. If a hotel does not have the capacity to host multiple functions simultaneously while maintaining service standards, it should reconsider accepting additional bookings.

While staff were apologetic when concerns were raised, there did not seem to be meaningful efforts to resolve the underlying problems.

If you are planning a workshop or training in Mombasa, I would suggest exploring alternative venues. Based on this experience, the level of professionalism and responsiveness did not meet expectations and at times reflected a rather laid-back approach to service delivery.

Pros:

Netter Empfang im Hotel und sauberes zimmer

Cons:

Es war im Flur sehr laut, was man bis ins Zimmer gehört hat, Toilette hat nur 2 Luftschlitze zum Flur. Der Pool ist inmitten des Restaurants, es gab ganze 2 Liegen. Mit Erholung war da nichts, es war laut vom Restaurant und der Straße her und man fühlte sich einfach unwohl weil einen sämtliche Menschen (vor allem Männer!) angegafft haben.
Extrem laute Musik am Abend sodass man weder beim Abendessen Ruhe hatte und sich unterhalten konnte geschweige denn hätte frühzeitig schlafen können
Die eine Nacht war mehr als ausreichend und fast schon zu viel

Cons:

A proximidade com uma mesquita.... às 3,30 h da madrugada inicia o ritual de chamamento aos fiéis, o que se volta a repetir pelas 5 h e pelas 5,30h da manhã...uma loucura
