This nice beach resort located on the north coast of Mombasa offers a great view of the sea and the white beach. The room standard is good however the air condition was somewhat weak... The very helpful staff was what made our stay really great though. They're all very nice and we got a lot of good tips including photo... More

When we made the reservation in the  begining of December 2012 and paid our $3000 deposit in good faith to stay at Continental Mombasa, we were assured in no uncertain... More

A beautiful discovery arrived without a booking and managed to rooms for a group of five. The staff were very accommodating as with the twin room we were able to share between three with a bed each, surprisingly all doubles. The rooms are very spacious, en-suite (shower & Bath), rooms air conditioned and worked very well. However the housekeeping was... More

Spent 2 days at the resort on a training and despite having any challenges during my stay there, I on the other hand did not experience anything beyond the ordinary. The hotel has a great location, spacious rooms, normal hotel food, friendly staff but you get this feeling that they are ok being ordinary and are not in any way... More

This hotel's name shifted from being an 'Inter-Continental' to become 'Continental' and it is indeed 'Continental' now. It looks as though the new management has not upgraded a thing since the previous ownership change. I am actually next door writing this from the Serena where the internet is faster, the food is better and the property is maintained. I complained... More
