für eine Nacht gings
Es war halt ein echt kenianisches Hotel, wohl auch nicht für Weisse - sogar Europäer - gedacht. Die haben halt einen anderen Anspruch.
Die Zufahrt war schwierig - Feldweg mit Löchern, keine Infotafel oder Wegweiser - dank Koordinatenangaben auf unserem Navi haben wir das Hotel gefunden. Keine Infos und Tafeln...das gilt für ganz Mombasa!!!!

If you prefer closer to the beach don’t stay here. Handy for train station. Saturday night in local pub was a total bore
Excellent staff. Decent menu and professional-seeming chefs.
No lift, but I was given a 3rd floor room despite my obviously being a pensioner. Television in my room was tucked into a shelf on the furniture, so it was sideways on to the bed. That meant that it was impossible to see the full tv screen from my bed so I never even turned the tv on (a first for me). Looking back, it kinda ruined the stay for me, among other things, I usually turn on the tv first thing on entering a new hotel room and added to that, there was a perfectly good wall opposite the bed where the tv could have been hung. Also, I was told by Benjamin the concierge that because I had booked a room that stated ‘1 adult occupant’, that if I then wanted to invite any guest to my room that I would have to pay for ‘2 adult occupants rates’. No way I agree with that policy. Flies were buzzing everywhere around my food when I was eating in their canteen, while at the same time that I was silently cussing the flies and the hotel I was asking myself ‘why don’t they have one of those blue light flies zappers’!!?? Bloody flies actually alighting on my food. UUUUGGHHJ….!!! Oh, and my very helpful (true) hotel driver tried to get me to pay him for services by asking for more than what seemed value to me. I just gave him in dollars half of what he had asked for, but I still feel I was over- generous, because I had also already given him 2 lovely ‘puzzles’ gifts.

Very good
The hotel is very basic, but exactly what you need to serve the purpose of just stopping over in Mombasa. Comfy bed, spacious room and they have a restaurant (not the best for vegetarians but was fine). Very friendly and accommodating staff!
To be honest I think it should be a lot cheaper for what you get!

Need to catch the SGR from Mombasa early in the morning? Make this your pitstop, it's a total gem!
Our little team stayed here for one night only, in preparation to catch the SGR the next morning to go to Nairobi. This was an absolute gem of a place, a little tricky to find if I'm honest once we were in the hubub of the town, but using Google Maps we got there without a fuss. We were greeted and assisted at the entrance to the hotel and shown to our rooms. For a budget hotel, I have to say, this really was a great stay. The beds were very comfortable, the mossie net over the bed was quite attractive and really functional, and the shower and loo was lovely and clean. There was good aircon too for those that needed it and a fan. There was even a telly but it only had about 3 channels of fuzzy rubbish and I didn't go to Kenya to watch the box, so I wasn't fussed. The food was delicious and copious but it did take a little more time to organise. Because of COVID, lockdowns and the financial crisis, lots of Kenyan hotels haven't managed to get back on their feet properly. As a result, the kitchen at Coastgate doesn't always carry a broad selection of ingredients for that day. You just need to let them know what you fancy and they'll source everything fresh from the market which is literally outside your door, then present you with a delicious plate of supper at the time you want it served. The food options were abundant by the way - there was lots of delicious Kenyan and European choices. Nobody left the table with a hole in their tummies, I can tell you that, in fact, my only grumble about this amazing little place would be that they served TOO much food and we were concerned about waste! We took back doggie bags so all was good but I guess the reason they do it is because they want to ensure people leave good reviews and that more people start using the hotel again. If you need to get the SGR from Mombasa to anywhere, make this your pitstop! It's smashing and the people are incredibly gracious and helpful and the price is perfect!
Just as we arrived at the Coastgate, the heavens opened and it poured with rain! Which was refreshing but I think lots of windows were opened to let the fresh air in, as it had been really muggy. I think as a result, there were a good few crawlie bugs, including a gorgeous foot long millipede that checked in with us too! It wasn't a major problem, just worthy of note that it's a very rural setting. To be honest, if you're really freaked out about bugs, consider staying in another country!
