“Safe, spacious roomed accomodation that is close to mombasa cbd.”
+Good environment, excellent response from staff, secure space, spacious rooms, and awesome food. Friendly people. Great view of the ocean.
−Rooms closer to the ocean have a lot of mosquitoes but good news is that you have a mosquito net to sleep inn and enough doom spray provided by management.

“Poor”
−The host refused to let me check in, using the excuse that they were full... I suspect it was simply a holiday and he didn't want to make the effort. I wasted time, energy, and money and had to find an alternative.

“Good”
+The staff is very flexible and friendly, responsive. They waited for me as I arrived late in the evening, and They let me change my booking with no issues.
−The place is quite isolated and there is no breakfast available during the weekends (i only found out once i arrived) The room I stayed in had a glass panel above the door looking at the main corridor, with the security lights on: it meant that it was impossible to have darkness in the room, I had to sleep with an eye mask and earplugs. I am sure it can work okay for some, considering the low price, but it was not for me.

“As a solo traveler, this was a great base to visit Mombasa and surrounding areas.”
+By way of context, the facility is for training marine students, and the hostel business is an afterthought. There are multiple buildings with dormitory-type rooms, and BMA is renting out such spare rooms. When I was there, no students were in the building I stayed in, which probably had hundreds of rooms. The rooms are small, perhaps 100 square feet. The facility is gated and has guards, but the place is sprawling, quasi-industrial in certain regards, and deserted in the evenings after students left. Given its location, guests need to take tuk-tuks or cabs, easy to get, to visit attractions. Within the facility, I had periodic access to two nice swimming pools and the cafeteria. My room had a balcony that overlooked a channel, where boats came and went at all times. For certain travelers, such as myself, the setup is perfect but it is certainly not right for everyone.
−You have to pay the room bill by M-pesa or possibly cash (check in advance, I got conflicting feedback). Credit cards aren't accepted. Wireless was a little inconsistent and worked best outside the rooms in the main area closer to the entrance. Rooms did not seem to have hot water.

“Exceptional”
+The hotel is located in a college. I was very happy to see a swimming pool before I checked in, but I didn't expect that the swimming pool in the school was super great. There are two swimming pools, one large and one small. The small one is at least four meters deep. I was looking for a swimming pool to practice free diving, but I didn't expect it to be so suitable. It's great. The room is clean and has air conditioning.
