Top destination
3/5 - Okay
R&A
The infrastructure definitely has room for improvement, especially the road from the airport – "rough" doesn't even begin to describe it! Works are in progress, though, so hopefully it will get better.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Having family in mombasa ,i have been going for many years .Friendly people all round worth a look .
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveller
Mombasa town is congested, frantic and hot. Worth a visit but hire a local guide ( not expensive) to find the best historic and cultural parts. Serena Beach hotel is a welcome oasis to return to!
4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Interesting and unique city...
4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Just avoid staying at Sai Rock Hotel, it’s one of the worse hotels there!
