Tulia Backpackers Nyali

Most strange and ludicrous hostel i habe ever booked considering i have stayed at more than 40 hostels worldwide. Strangely enough water costs more here than the capital in nairobi. Like how? It’s like imagining water costs more in Leeds than london? Apparently the pool guy is unable to vacuum (clean) the pool if anyone should get in it after he arrives. Said all the dust came to the top 20 mins before i got in it, you would assume a hostel like this would have the cleaning sorted out prior to an hour before they serve breakfast. Dorms disgustingly overcrowded, there was one bath in my shared room, why would they expect 13 ppl to use a bathtub simultaneously without any cleaning? Unhygienic and prone to illnesses of God knows what. rats can be found in the room if you are lucky and monkeys hopping around. Reception is extremely rude and bar staff are borderline engaging in criminal activities whereby they recommend uncertified tour guides with no badges to tourists and once caught they blame the customer who was advised to do this by an employee and they eventually laugh in your face when you explain said tourguide opted our of visiting the fort in mombasa???? So why manipulate tourists into believing he is a legit tour guide ?? Illegal anywhere else in the world but we get you kenya!! Only decent thing is the masseuse on the rooftop floor, she was welcoming, had a bright smile and accommodated customers to the best of her ability!

Tulia is strategically located,easy access to beaches and shopping malls. Good customer care from ladies at the reception who welcome you with a big smile, but they have one problem they need to sort; The rates includes breakfast but they serve you only pancakes without a drink or even fruits just plain pancakes,who eat plain wheat in the morning?? If you want tea or anything you pay extra amount Another breakfast option is; fruits yoghurt and granola, if you want anything beyond that you pay extra. That's the only breakfast available on room rates, you're not allowed to exchange into something else even when what you're changing to is way cheaper than why they provide. We know it's a complimentary breakfast but you can still provide something small but it makes sense

Average-quality hostel offering services that match the price. Indeed, there is no hot water in the shower and only one bathroom for a 10-bed dorm (with no additional shared bathrooms elsewhere in the hostel). However,the food, is very good and affordable, although it was not included in the price as mentioned at the time of booking. The reception staff were also very kind. The hostel is ideally located, close to the city center, the beaches, and shops. Finally, a small downside: during my stay, the hostel was empty, so I couldn’t meet other travelers. In short, if the bathroom were renovated and additional showers installed, it would be a much more attractive place for travelers.

The rooms are very disgusting and are infested with mosquitoes. The beds in the men's dorm have bed bugs. The sheets are stained and gross. There is no hot water. The only redeeming factors for this place are the proximity to the beach and the decent bar area. However, they allow people from outside the hostel to smoke drugs in the bar area. Stay far away from this hostel. Not worth it.

The ambience is great although the pool was not clean enough to risk getting even our feet in during the 2 days of stay.

Loved the experience, the room had a good balcony view, spacious balcony setting. The service was top top top. Especially the lady attendant at night, God bless her soul. Went on a budget so I used the hostels, and it was totally worth my money. Convenient location as it is not far from the main road.

Hands down, my favourite hostel so far.|The female dorm was clean and had a nice bathroom, something I have come to appreciate when it comes to accommodation.|The dorm has a spacious balcony fitted with a large mirror, girls heaven.|Great service and great staff. I enjoyed my stay here

The location is great. The female's room also has an en-suite bathroom and a balcony. The staff is very friendly, and they were very helpful in dealing with a personal case of mine. |The only bad thing I think is that they don't have a kitchen, which makes it difficult if you want to stay for several days and your budget is low, because you have to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant.
