Satisfied client
Pros:

Busy restaurant during our two-day stay, but the Chef (Patrick) stayed visible and kept things moving. Buffet items were replenished promptly, spoons were restocked when needed, and seating issues were addressed as they came up. There were busy moments when staff got swarmed up, but the effort to maintain the guest experience was noticeable.

Der rundrum alles super war, übersehen wir mal das kalte Wasser.

Das Wasser bei der Morgendusche war kalt.

Loved it! This solo traveller would visit again.
Pros:

I travelled solo and felt very safe and looked after by the super friendly staff. Good food, great breakfasts. The historic building has been tastefully updated. Right in the heart of Mombasa island, great for exploring Old Town. The rooms are lovely, spotlessly clean, marked down slightly by traffic noise but that is Mombasa! The pool is small but great to have nonetheless. Sun loungers were lovely. All in all I would whole heartedly recommend at very good value.
