Posts: 542The hotels are for the most part owned by very rich Kenyans and usually they are multi millionaire politicians, they can easily sit back with them making no money. The mentality in Kenya is if there no customers put the price up, not down like any proper business would. As said the price for rooms and the standard of them is very poor compared to most other countries. You either pay it or go elsewhere, its life.
Hotel price and standards is greatly hindering Kenyan tourism with visa fees and very poor infrastructure.

Its a actually a month salary. Cleaners, security officers (Askari) get 6000 or 7000 a month.
In Mtwapa an apartment for fits the Mzungu standards start from 10000 per month, but girls share a cheap African style "one room apartment".
The best time to visit Mombasa is from December first to Jan 15. In this time girls from all over Kenya's flooding the streets. December is also school one month vacation so eager girls out of school looks for fun. Clubs is fully packed as well.

Posts: 542If your going to pay $65 a night your better off at Sai rock apartments. They ask for 6000 ks but you might get them down to 5000 ks or 5500 ks which is $50 and $60 respectively. Sai rock is very secure being a main hotel and they have generator so no power cuts. Also GF as long as she has ID they copy at reception going in so offers security that way too. Location wise it is perfect, on the beach, next door to cheers bar, big tree, 5 minutes to supermarkets and 10 minutes to mtwapa.
Rooms are spacious, air con, mozzy nets, cooking facilities. They could do with a bit tlc but in Africa they usually all do. If you use them ask to be shown 2 or 3 apartments and pick the best one.
BTW I have no affiliation with this place but I use it all the time when in Mombasa, as knowing Mombasa very well it is as far as I know the best overall place at present in terms of value.

If you rent one of the apartments (not a bungalow) you have to share the veranda, or balcony containing the kitchen with the people staying in the apartment next to you.
If you have no neighbours it's OK, but it might happen that you have a complete (Indian) family next door, with a bunch of children running in & out and the ladies cooking food from morning till evening.

Most appartements are in a desolate shape and at night not really safe to get back.
Other option is to stay at Diani beach. There many nice appartementson AirBnB, starting from 20 $, are available. But not many girls areound there. Its more for ByO with a date girl.

Posts: 1041PortugalChris. I stayed earlier this year at Ziwa Beach Resort and there were no guest charges. There's also no receptionist around at night, just a Masai watchman who gave me a big grin and thumbs up when I brought a girl home, so no walk of shame. Quite a pleasant place all in all - 24 hour bar, good staff and security, a nice deck to sit and watch the sea. No TVs in the rooms, but with the number of babes in Mombasa you can create your own entertainment.
BTW the guest issues might be at Bamburi Beach *Hotel* (not Resort) which is a few yards up the beach: this seems to be more of a Euro package tour type hotel. Ziwa Beach Resort used to be called Bamburi Beach Resort, and changed its name because of confusion between the two.
