Kilua Residences by CityBlue, Mombasa

8/10 Good
"The staff were great and the food was great. Room condition was worn. Closet light flashed like a strobe light, there were many missing lights, shower had a great overhead shower head but you had to fight the engagement knob to get it to get it to work. And then there were the cats that hung out at your feed when you were eating mewing continually. See photo. The food was great and the pool was amazing."
