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!

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!

The staff were all good working very hard our stay was lovely just for one night it were ideally.

Just the way to getting to the place otherwise it everything was OK

Location was quite far from Miritini ,Mombasa Terminus.But on arrival I was quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was okay.A bit of variety and staff were very friendly and helpful

Good price, convenient location, clean, guarded parking. Will stay again.
