Traveling solo to Kenya for the first time, I was embraced by the staff at this delightful boutique hotel. They took the time to be sure I had everything I needed. It was a pleasure to be able to walk down to the dining room for tea in the afternoon and for delicious dinner in the evening. I give them my highest recommendation, particularly for solo women traveling to Kenya.

Excellent room. Great view from balcony overlooking pool and Indian Ocean. We coild sit outside and listen to the music at night. Room was spotless. We had half board. Food was ,satisfactory. Do not expect a gourmet experience—more at the level of a middle of the road chain restaurant in the US, but this is Mombasa. I would go here again if I were to return to Mombasa. Note that the roads in Mombasa to get here were awful. Traffic was disastrous, a manifestation of the local infrastructure

Severin Sea Lodge is a lovely beachfront property with clean rooms and great dining options — the breakfast and dinner buffet offered plenty of variety and tasted great. I really enjoyed the environment and overall atmosphere.

My only negative experience was the check-in process, which took almost an hour due to limited staffing at night. Also, the reception area could use fans for guests, especially while waiting. If those issues are improved, this would easily be a 5-star experience

Severin was amazing and deserves the full 5 star rating. The staff are attentive and entertaining everyday was something to look forward too. The rooms are cleaned daily and replenished with fresh sheets, towels, soaps and bottled water . Currently it seems like a lot of construction work is taking place in Mombasa so from the moment we left Moi International Airport it’s basically a construction site.

The property was absolutely beautiful. It was truly a living paradise. They kept the grounds and the pool very well maintained. They service the rooms daily, if you request it, meaning fresh linen on a daily basis. The property was absolutely perfect. However, it paled in comparison to the staff. The staff went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at home. They honestly didn't seem to be able to do enough for you. My fiancé and I, at one point, we're having a conversation about how they made us, just she and I, feel special. We knew (and could see) they treated everyone the same, but we still felt as if we were being singled out as their favorite couple. Severin Sea Lodge was the perfect location for our vacation, but the staff gave us a home. To the staff, I just want to say, Thank You for a perfect three weeks!

I first reserved a sea-view room but the room given was with sea view that has so many obstructions. Then I downgraded to a regular room, which needed major updating as it seems the room has not been updated since the hotel was built in 1972. In fact, this old room lacked any European or American outlets to connect/recharge my devices. Lastly, flies around the open buffet make it impossible to eat with any sort of an appetite.

The staff could not be faulted. Nothing was too much trouble. The manager’s greetings with a cocktail/mocktail were fun. The grounds were beautiful and access to the beach easy and clean. . The bathrooms were a little tired and needed an upgrade. Toiletries were excellent. the food was plentiful but unimaginative. There are major building works nearby constructing a new motorway made access less easy than one might like.

Relaxing and lovely seaside resort

A perfect place to kick back and relax in the sun, swim in the ocean (or one of two pools), and take it easy. I enjoyed the casual evening entertainment (a talented singer and band by the pool). The staff was friendly, and the restaurant in a beautifully-restored wooden dhow was a special experience. This is apparently a German-owned resort and German-speaking guests would feel especially at home here.

Great for a getaway at competitive prices

We came here to celebrate our honeymoon. Although we arrived late, past dinner time, they still allowed us to refresh after a long drive, then they graciously offered a la carte, way past the call of duty. This is excellent service. The rest of the stay went well. Highly recommended

I stayed at the Severin Sea Lodge Hotel for six nights in late September 2024 and really enjoyed my time there. I found all the staff to be both helpful and efficient. The buffet style meals were very good. Through Expedia I got a deal that included six nights plus half board plus return flights from and to Nairobi for around £650. I would certainly recommend this resort.

great place to stay

We stayed 4 nights here and 3 nights at another resort on the Mombasa coast, and this was definitely far better in all respects. Very well maintained, charming staff and great service and facilities: pool, buffet meals, live evening entertainment etc. It is very hard to keep buildings in top condition in Kenya's climate, and especially with lots of monkeys around (!), but Severin Sea do it brilliantly. We also liked the eco-conscious approach, which brings comfort as well as environmental benefits (eg non-brackish water to wash in, thanks to the hotel's own water management system). Recommended.

The people in the area are extremely helpful and gracious with tourist. Theft and abuse of tourist is taken more seriously here than any place I have ever been in the world, including my home in Atlanta Georgia. The facility at Severin sea lodge is very nice and would compare it to a 5 star location in Atlanta where I live. The lodge has it's own private beach and lots of security. I will be coming back here in the future with my family.

Memorable stay

My wife and I travelling to the SSL to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary having been engaged in Kenya in 1994. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every department. Pre visit the communication was extremely efficient and prompt. Throughout our stay everyone was friendly and professional. The hotel is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The environmental projects are well thought through, encouraged and managed. The food was excellent with a large variety and quality. We particularly liked the head chef walking around the restaurant each evening talking to guests. Love the swing bar - perfect for a sun downer. We both had treatments in the spa which again were first class and really relaxing. Overall we couldn’t fault the hotel at all.

The breakfast buffet is great and there is nothing better than eating overlooking the ocean. The Bahari Dhow restaurant is excellent and there are lots of great options close by. Better than Sarova or English Point for sure.

This resort seemed to be well planned. Our room was quiet with little traffic past our door. The pools were very nice, clean, easily accessible and always staffed. The grounds were tidy and charming with geckos and monkeys frequenting us as we rested or walked. Loads of trees. and flowering plants and shrubs. It would have been informative if the plants etc. were labeled in some way especially if it was a Kenyan or east African exclusive species.
We booked a Safari and city tour with the lodges expedition department. Both were excellent. The tour guides had excellent English (as do most of the staff), exciting and informative. The city tour really had lots packed in and getting to it all was a testament to our driver! Traffic in Mombasa is really an experience to Canadians. It really must be experienced from a back seat to keep us from having panic attacks every block. But there were no accidents any where we traveled!!
I leave the dining experience to the end because it was a daily gastronomic delight. The food and staff both excellent, entertaining and delightful. Lecious and Eunice and Ruth, to name a few, made our daily trips through the buffet memorable.
We thank everyone of the staff at the Severin Sea Lodge for a wonderful holiday experience.

We loved the resort so much we stayed extra days here and took day trips to the other areas we wanted to visit. The location is outside Mombasa city center a short drive. There are other resorts next door. We took advantage to walk to Mombasa Go Kart one of the nights for some added fun. We really enjoyed the food. We took half board, for a buffet it was delicious and fresh. With new dishes every day. We had turn down since at night. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Mombasa. Great place, beautiful property. Grateful we ended up here ❤️

Serene yet fun.

Unfortunately, the bungalow I booked w/ sea view was unavailable upon arrival. Experienced a few hiccups in terms of quality of available bungalows. Staff was great throughout.

I’m not the biggest fan of their bungalows, BUT I love their upgraded rooms w/ partial ocean and pool view. Clean, comfortable, and serene.

Beautiful, oceanfront restaurant. Amazing breakfast and dinner buffets. Great live music every night of our stay.

Just a few steps from white sands, camels, and the stunning Indian Ocean.

Everyone I encountered was incredible: restaurant servers (especially Dorcas), CHEFS, security personnel, shuttle drivers, etc. Everyone appears to love this magical place.

Fantastic experience. We loved it! My husband, our kids (4yrs & 6yrs), my mother, and my brother & his family (2 kids - 8yrs & 5yrs) booked a few rooms and spent 3.5 days over the New Year period and had a really magical experience. The 4 kids loved the pool that also has a kiddy pool within the large pool and a slide. We all loved the food choices, the drinks were reasonably priced, the rooms were super clean and very modern - definitely recently renovated and we loved the ocean view and the balcony. The service was also exceptional and a number of us were Kenyans and we got fantastic service! The New Year's celebrations including fireworks at the beach were simply magical! We will definitely be returning in 2024!

I had a delightful stay at the Severin Hotel and very grateful for staff who addressed any concerns I had. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer! Everything is clean, breakfast and dinner tasted great. My only complaint is that hotel does not provide enough drinking water for guests either in room or elsewhere. For the cost of hotel, it should not be such a ordeal just to get more water to drink!

Great place for a quiet holidays

This is a great hotel on Bamburi beach. Super friendly staff and an excellent experience.

In terms of other guests: when I visited in Nov / Dec there was a lot of Germans and also senior citizens. If you are expecting party central then this is not for you (or most other hotels on Bamburi beach).

Typically you move around either with taxi / uber / toktok / etc or you walk on the beach. The main road leading olto Bamburi is under construction so for now it's a bumpy, slow moving dusty ride. Be mindful that in day time the beach has a lot of beach boys and girls that will try to sell you things you or may not need. In the evening stroll down the beach to check out some of the nearby other hotels / restaurants.

For those looking to have a relaxing stay along pools, dip into ocean, enjoy the warm weather and possibly join a safari trip this a a great hotel.

Thanks to the super friendly staff!
