Disappointing
Very expensive for a tiny room with no view. Food was not great either.
The staff and the atmosphere in the place made you feel like you were part of a community.The staff seem more interested in chatting with you rather than just trying to have you buy something. The lounge area was quite spacious, comfortable and inviting.
My was room and sink were quite grungy.screens on windows were damaged, mesh mostly missing. No air conditioning, or safe in room.
Most amazing, kind, attentive staff! We had to extend our stay due to illness and were taken care of so nicely. Great fresh breakfast and other food. Spacious rooms and lounge areas. Nice pool.
The house needs renovating, facilities are used. But what can be cleaned is clean and value for money is great! Area is gated and quiet, but a few shops/restaurants in walking distance.
It is super noisy due to the pool, as people can walk in, and the kitchen starts working at 5:00 a.m with all these noises it is impossible to rest, also FYI even though you paid for the room if you have guests you must pay extra
The staff was nice, helpful and polite.
There was no towel to dry your hands and no badrug in the bathroom.The room was hot and the ventilator wasn't helping much.
The breakfast was good especially excellent fruit. The location was good in that it is quiet, peaceful. But is was necessary to use a car or tuktuk to get into shopping malls.
The place is beautiful but needs tlc (tender loving care!). Some paint job and renovation would do wonders to the place. Due to the heat at the coast, I expected that they would provide a bottle of water each day as part of the service instead of charging for it.
The Leinmach House helped us to find a backup accommodation, as we were duped by another Mombasa guesthouse. A staff is very friendly. The location is very good, close to the best Mombasa beach and not far away from the Old Town. There is also very nice Italian restaurant in the area.
Rooms, especially bathrooms, require some decent refreshment, but generally it was clean.
The size of the room was large.
The sausages served at breakfast, they were not tasty.Some windows in the rooms are old and ned renovation
Friendly staff
was told there was a restaurant but nothing there. Was told it was eggs and sausages for breakfast so we skipped it. You need a generator as the power cut was quite long.
Excellent staff. lovely breakfast. pool to ourselves.
Shower could be improved
It is in a quiet place and is family friendly. The staff is friendly and helpful
the staff was very friendly, breakfast was good
it was very very warm in the room, the airconditioning did not work well
The breakfast can be improved. I did not like the matoke part. Location is ok.
They need bed switch, it does not cost much otherwise it is inconveniencing to switch off lights at the door then walk to bed in darkness.
The staff is good. Good air conditioner. Quiet location. cleanliness
Weak water flow. lukewarm water in the shower
Excellent location, staff and flexibility in services
Very basic stay. Pictures were more attractive than the actual.
ACs were not working. Room size was extremely small.
