Excellent hotel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to family and friends. The staff were extremely attentive whilst being discreet. We took advantage of the pool and ordered snacks from the restaurant. The room was an excellent size with modern decor. Whilst the hotel grounds was picturesque.

The management team were very professional and welcoming. I am very impressed by the excellent service I received. I was given a free upgrade and the one bedroom apartment was exclusive. This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Freetown and will definitely revisit it. I highly recommend it- Allain keep up the excellent and outstanding hospitality.
