Kenya Bay is located right on Bamburi Beach and we really enjoyed staying there for 5 nights. The food was good and you can swap dinner for lunch, if you're on 1/2 board and know ahead of time you won't be there for dinner. Very convenient and flexible! Evening entertainment every night at 21:00. Friendly staff who come serve you... More

I really liked it for a short stay in Mombasa. It is safe, rooms are clean. And you have access to the fabulous beach just a minute walk from your room. They are quite flexible. If you are going to safari very early in the morning they will offer you early breakfast. They can even send you a postcard if... More

Sadly, I have mostly brick bats for this hotel. I booked the renovated room with a supplement for my 6yr old twins. Rooms weren't ready, even though we arrived 2hrs after check in - kept waiting 30min. Then we found the following room issues: * only on extra single bed - ended with a child in with us - yay....:-(... More

The deluxe rooms are under renovation, our room (105) was renovated but looked still in need renovation (molds on the wall, but bathroom looked nice). Our room was next to the Acacia restaurant, with sea view, in the silent side. There were guards in both side, felt safe.... More

Pretty empty hotel (especially for a mid July!): 30 people max. The regular rooms have seen better days!!! Thank goodness our stay was for just 3 days and we had just experienced a wonderful 8 day safari in premium camps/lodges. I could not wait to leave to go home.The old rooms(AC) are very worn and damp. Although, they come with... More

I wish to express my satisfaction during our short stay at Kenya Bay. I noted the welcoming response right from the time of my email inquiries which gave me an encouragement to give the hotel a trial. With all sincerity, the services did not disappoint us; the staff response time and cheerfulness are commendable. The meals were also nice and... More

I stayed for a week for an academic conference at the nearby Whitesands. Kenya Bay is friendly, clean and safe. The rooms all face the sea and have aircon, TVs and fridges. But most of all, it's amazing value compared to the other hotels in Bamburi (especially if you book it through hostelworld, where you get breakfast and evening meal... More
