Mombasa Comfort House, Old Town

Heart of old town. Tidy clean house. Friendly owner Fatma.

It can be bit annoying local guide or people.

The location was good, just a few feet away from the water down the street.

The shower and toilet in the same room very close to each other…. Which we get happens when you retro fit things in an historic home. We did know this when we rented the place.

Fatma was such a wonderful host! She arranged our transport to and from the accommodation and helped us whenever we had a question. She also recommended some great restaurants. The apartment itself is very spacious and clean and in a great location. For the old town it’s perfect!

We loved everything 😊

Lovely owner. Great location though be very careful about getting there with a car, as Google maps takes you through a non-drivable area

It was hot inside. We were only there a night so wasn’t a big deal, but might be hard if longer. However excellent fans

Host is wonderful

But please be aware of prayer times

The owner/hostess, Fatma, is super friendly, kind, helpful, flexible, and committed to making your stay in Momnbasa as enjoyable as possible. She was also very responsive and patient with my many email questions. The location in the heart of the Old Town is perfect, a few steps from the water and easy walking distance to good restaurants and the sights of Old Town. In particular, we recommend nearby Forodhani Restaurant with a lovely and breezy patio setting on the water, located only 400 metres away. Fort Jesus is about 500 metres away. Tuk tuks are numerous if you want to go further afield, to the Mackinnon Market, for example, where many of the free walking tours begin. The apartment itself is ground level, secure, very clean, and perfect for our group of 5 adults. One bedroom has a queen bed and a single, the other has a queen. We stayed only one night but in restrospect, would probably have preferred two nights so that our Mombasa activites weren't quite so rushed. Finally, of course, the price of the apartment is unbeatable, somewhere between $50-$55 US for the 5 of us. In short, highly recommended.

It is a hidden gem in the lovely old town of Mombasa, cleanness, comfort and access to a wide variety of places

Nothing

Very nice location in the old town and super friendly host. Directly next to the appartment is a backpackers hotel, where one can get breakfast/lunch/dinner. Fatma (Host) is giving great recommendations and even offered to organize a sightseeing trip.
