“Travellers Hotell impressed us”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We booked this hotel through a travel agency in Sweden and there were Travellers Hotel absolute best prices on Bamburi Beach.

First shorthly about the beach, Bamburi Beach Indian Ocean.
It is a windy beach, which is nice because the climate in Mombasa is very hot.

The sea is protected by a coral reef which provides tide and you can not always swim in the sea. But this means that the ocean is by far the hottest I've ever gone swimming in, very nice I must say.

A major drawback of the beach are the so-called "Beach Boys" hanging right on the downturn towards the shore and immediately want to do business with you. They are very difficult to get rid of. Their business idea is that you should believe that you become friends with them.
A major drawback is that if you agree a price and then pays you raise the price without any real reason. I have traveled a lot and live in a world's most multicultural cities but have never experienced things like this behavior before.

But this local business behavior is not something you can accuse Travelers Hotel, we saw no such trends in the hotel.
Instead, my girlfriend and I were impressed by all the advantages which the hotel offered.
To name one thing that the hotel has its own taxis running around the clock at great prices.
The breakfast buffet is very tasteful and offers everything you can imagine.
There is also dinner buffet and also it's good, even if it gets a little too like if you eat at the hotel every night.
A disadvantage is that the hotel staff treats dress code differently depending on whether you are male or female, something that bothered me a lot in the beginning.
Would also like to say that our female waitress was very good and quickly got a good overview of who we were and what we estimated.

The hotel was thoroughly cleaned every day. The cleaners were friendly welcome and the day I was hung over and asked them to wait so this was no problem for them, which I appreciated very much!

Pool area was always clean and we never experienced any congestion on the sun loungers. At the pool there was a snack bar for smaller meals or drinks for good prices.

We got the impression before we got to the hotel, the Wi-Fi would be free, it was unfortunately not the case, but it cost 1000 KES (about 10 €) for 24 hour access. This connection was also very slow, to put a picture on Facebook for example, could take many attempts and up to half an hour.

Almost all of the staff were friendly and were always on hand and was helpful and gave a good impression of the hotel.
The hotel is beautiful, both the building and the area itself. So I can really recommend this hotel if you get a good price to stay here.

“Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel for ten days , after a four day safari trip. We stayed half board , the food was pleasant , lots of variety , room was spacious and spotless. Freddy , the manager asked on our second day if all was to our liking and when I said we'd appreciate a fridge (I didnt know we should have had one to start with) he sorted it in less than five minutes.The location couldnt have been better , and the only adverse comment I could make is that the rooms need updating , but this didnt in any way spoil any of our trip.We were at the "back" of the hotel , which was actually an advantage as the room was always quiet.

“brilliant holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

This was my first time to Kenya and the Travellers Beach Hotel & Club staying 21st December to 3rd January on an all inclusive basis and would thoroughly recommend staying here, i travelled with my mum who has stayed here 12 times sometimes 3 times a year.
My mum has always stayed in the club side in the same room where possible which is overlooking the pool and the beach , rooms are spacious with a double and single bed ,sofa,chair and tv and tea and coffee making facilities. the beds are surrounded by a mosquito net .Our room was cleaned daily with clean sheets and towels provided every day by Alex.
Food was buffet style with a wide variety of foods available to cater for everyones tastes, our waiters were Walter and Joseph (big daddy and bushman) who were very friendly and made me feel very welcome being my first time there.
The Travellers put on really nice food and enterntainment both christmas eve and new years day which was outside in the carpark and had gone to great trouble to make it look really nice .The staff at the pool side snack bar were very friendly (Megastone ,Benson,Elzabeth and Hassan ) there was a variety of snacks and drinks on offer every day, there wasnt much noise at night as the poolside bar tended to close around midnight . The pools were cleaned daily and there was enough sunbeds for everyone the sunbed boys will put towels on the beds every morning ready for you The monkeys were frequent visitors to the Travellers loved watching them playing in the grounds and walking on the balconys.The animation team were really good and worked really hard doing their shows at night , we didnt venture out of the hotel grounds much at night except on new years eve to walk on the beach to see the locals celebrating.
The beach was lovely and the sea really warm , we went on a beach safari on the glass bottom boat booked through the guy just at the top of the steps that lead onto the beach , we wasnt bothered by the beach boys as mums friend took us down the beach with his friend,
We visited Haller Park whilst i was there which was a lovely place seeing the giraffes and crocodiles being fed and all the other animals they have there.
We travelled into Mtwapa on a mattatu which was an experience to see a friends family which was an eye opener seeing how people live and the poverty there.
I would definately return again to Travellers as the friends my mum has made over the years are now my friends and i cant wait to get back there as i had a fantastic time.The Kenyans are lovely people who havent got much but they are always smiling and will do everything they can to ensure that you have a great holiday .

Room Tip: Rooms near the beach have fantastic views of the sea
