Hotels near Lumley Beach Round About, Freetown

It’s been quite an experience for me for the past two weeks staying there. The hotel itself is at a fantastic spot, so no worries about that at all. The management work really hard to keep their guests comfortable and I must say I was really impressed with that. Fantastic team! With improvements, this hotel will definitely gain more than the current rating. That’s if its wanting to. Therefore to fix that, there’re rooms for improvement with the amenities and facilities provided. Apparently, the rooms advertised were done on a fake advertising scheme. They looked nothing like the one I paid for. My room was later upgraded when I complained as I was really disappointed. The rooms didn’t even have any single bottle of water for guest. Imagine lading at night and thirsty but realise there’s no drinking water as most hotels would. I highly recommend a look into that. For future reference, I would recommend the staff be aware of guest's booking details. Maybe provide a desktop at the front desk where they can access the bookings for confirmation. Most hotels have that. Last on the list is the breakfast provided. It would be great if the hotel would provide a blend of different breakfast options instead of the same everyday. It can still be on the current budget but with different meal options, every other day or so. I nearly fell ill during this period unless I had to skip breakfast on most days and go out for food. Some of us don't have the stomach for that, and it's quite displeasing when you've already paid for the service, even worse when you’re staying longer as I did. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Sierra Leone as besides the aforementioned, I did enjoy my stay there. Great staff! And yes, I will come again in the near future.

Jam lodge is located not far from Congo Cross in Freetown. It is frequented by NGOs, WHO etc. All the rooms are ACd. Breakfast was always delicious and there is a relaxing Bar area outside with a good selection of cold beers. I must comment also on the honesty of the staff. I accidentally left a wad of Leones on my bar stool after getting my USD exchanged. The amount probably equated to several months wages for the hotel staff. When I realised my mistake I ran back to the bar to be greeted by a smiling bar tender who had kept it safe for me not even skimming of the top! I tipped him, of course.

Great hotel was good and the service was amazing. The pool was lovely, and the staff Agnes, Fatmata & Haja were very helpful. They all deserve a treat for their hard work, respect and hospitality. I would definitely recommend this place, the views of Freetown are amazing!

We quite enjoyed Ishmajoso Lodge! Location is in a lovely small village about halfway between Freetown and the nice peninsula beaches. We much preferred this to staying in town and it's actually got a lovely little private beach about 10 minutes walk through a village. Great community atmosphere. Wifi is really good Rooms were pretty decent. Hot water is good AC wasn't great. Despite being on 16 and full force, the room never cools down - seems to be more of a fan disguised as an AC. Not great! Staff were lovely, Hassan is an absolute legend and super hospitable! Restaurant food is decent, but my God it takes SO long. We waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for an omelette and spaghetti (and there was nobody else in the restaurant). Genuinely curious what on earth they were doing in there.
