    Lovely stay in the heart of the old town

    I had a lovely stay at Mombasa Comfort House. The host is incredibly friendly and hospitable, happy to help with anything, and the apartment was spotless. She even met me very early in the morning to ensure I was able to get a taxi to the airport. The location is also great, right in the heart of the old town, and it's really a unique neighbourhood to stay in. The amenities are basic, but it was all I needed for a simple, enjoyable stay.

    Everything was great..just one recommendation to always use the tuktuk driver Fatima can organize for you, as it will be half if not a third the price of anything you can get on the street and Fatima can book the driver for you.

    This is a really great place to stay right in the old part of Mombasa which is very atmospheric. It is comfortable, spotlessly clean and quiet. We also felt very safe walking around even in the evening. Fatima was a wonderful and kind host, she helped me find a couple of shops in the old town to do some.errands and showed us the market, she went out of her way bearing in mind it is Ramadan at the moment. If we come back to Mombasa we would stay here again for sure, it was such a good experience.

    An AC might be an asset, but huge ceiling fan in the sitting room and the bedroom so it's manageable.

    Location was very nice. Unlike what was said online, old Town was a very very safe place for me. Beautiful neighborhood and proximity to the ocean as well. Best part is the hostess. Fatma was so kind and is ready to help out with every request you have. She helped me organize transport from airport, city tour in the morning and sunset boat tour in the evening. Recommend for everyone

    Nice apartment in the heart of Old Town. Fatma, the host, was really helpful and kind to assist us with everything … from money exchange to organising milk for our daughter late in the evening, to recommendations on restaurants etc. Advice: Ask your driver to phone her to get directions, we used the gps and it was a little bit difficult to find it, but she can give instructions to the driver for an easy way to get there !!

    The only thing I didnt like was the shower has no hot water. But this is common in Kenya and most of the time not needed because weather is warm

    Fatma is the best host in the world! She is kind and super helpful and incredibly welcoming; she will help with anything you may need. The location in the old town is perfect for exploring Mombasa on foot, it feels very safe and tuk tuks are cheap and plentiful if you prefer not to walk. Great cafes and restaurants a few minutes away. The apartment is clean and comfortable and very secure

    The location is just next to the most touristy area of Old Town but in the more dodgy-looking area of it and some users didn't want to come to this area. That being said, it was safe and calm for tourists, we had zero issues.

    The host was warm and welcoming, she was really helpful with everything we needed.

    I appreciate my host's support and helpfulness during my stay. She is an excellent host. I was struggling to find the way to the house and she came to pick me up. It was late at night and she helped me to find a good restaurant to get dinner and walked with me to get there. She helped to find a female guide for the city tour. The house was clean and well-equipped, in the heart of the old town. This place is a much stay.

    The accommodation looks like the pictures. It is a ground floor apartment. Fatma is very kind and helpful and lives upstairs and is available to help and offer recommendations. Old Town Mombasa is cool, we really liked it. There are restaurants around and the apartment is close to the waterfront. The apartment sleeps 5 and has a fridge, kitchen and bathroom. The walls are thin so you can hear noise from the street and other dwellings but it didn't bother me and I still slept very well.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Fatma's house. She was very kind to us and even took us round old town at no extra cost. She made our stay memorable Can't also forget the sweet mahamri. The house was next to a historic building and next to the ocean. It was also close to fort Jesus Would visit again

    There is always something that could be better but generally, the attitude of the host made the stay a great experience.

    Very spacious and clean apartment near old town - definitely bigger than 15m. Fatma, the host, is a lovely and very helpful person. She helped us with arrangements for further travels and immediately responded to all our inquiries. Please have in mind that local drivers are cheating so the best way to get there is to ask Fatma for a driver. She will arrange someone in the regular price or even better that the one that you would get with Uber.

    Fatima was a superb host! The communication was super easy and quick, and she was also very helpful since the beginning, available at all times whenever we had any questions. We found this place to be very clean, comfortable, and perfectly sized. It also looked exactly like it did in the pictures and was also within walking distance of some tourist attractions and other great views. Fatima went way beyond making our stay comfortable and memorable. Thanks, Fatima, for such a wonderful time! I totally recommend it. We will be back!
