I had a wonderful stay at the Swiss Hotel. The hotel is clean and well appointed. The staff is friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The pool and outdoor terrace is a definte bonus after a long day. With constant water, electricity, good wifi, great food and clean rooms, the hotel is above the standard in Freetown. I will definitely plan on staying again.

Very nice, but also pretty normal for SL

Nice rooms, very clean, but fairly typical for Sierra Leone (IYKYK). After being up country, nice to have hot water and other amenities. The food was very good also. There's a lot of street noise, but it can be minimized by closing any windows and using the AC.

I always stay at the Swiss Hotel when I stay in Freetown. I enjoy staying here and feel very happy with the service and facilities in general. However, on my last visit there seemed to be a shortage of toilet roll with my toilet roll only being replaced with one if the existing roll was nearly empty. I ran out a few times and had use the tissues and once ran out of everything and didn’t get a replacement until my third Tim of asking. I had bought some spare myself to ensure that I didn’t really run out. Such a small thing and it didn’t spoil my stay but it does seem an unnecessary issue. Otherwise, I’m still very happy with my stay and will be coming again.

One of the better places in Freetown. Staff are lovely but not the best. I cant blame them for this as conditions in Sierra Leone have been difficult for 30 years and education is not easy. The owner and manager are very nice and help as much as they can. You must have some understanding when travelling to countries that arent famous tourist resorts. Be tolerant with the staff.

Superb staff. Lovely hotel.

Gorgeous hotel and lovely small pool and pool bar. Great location to get into town or beach. The staff could not gave been friendlier or more helpful. I felt they all became friends -- from the house keepers to bar staff, receptionists and managers. Highly recommended. I will return here on my next visit

The apartment was not as listed with very few amenities. There is no pool view from the apartments and they are very noisey. The tv in the unit was old with poor quality and sound the dishes were dirty and scattered in the cabinets. Room service was mediocre and very pricey for the quality. The pool was cold and full of debris and across a busy back alley from the apartments. Much needs to change here in comparison to other places I’ve stayed in the area.

Hotel bom precisando investir em manutenção . O banheiro escuro com box cilíndrico quebrado inundando água por tudo. Hôtel não possui secador de cabelo. Fornece apenas uma toalha para duas pessoas. O hotel fica muito longe do centro. Café da manhã bom faltando queijo, presunto e frutas como banana e laranja. Peço em torno de 100 dólares.
