Shagg Pond, Western Area Urban Yakınlarındaki Oteller

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.

I travel to Sierra Leone four times a year. This is my favorite place to stay. It would be equivalent to 4 Star hotel in US. Really nice rooms with AC. Very spacious atrium with good food. I love their breakfast. WiFi is good! Service in excellent!!

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.

This small hotel was a delightful surprise. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Laundry (same day service) was a bargain (about $2.25 per piece). Rooms were nice size, with good a/c. Large bathrooms and big shower with plenty of hot water. Dinner in the hotel was delicious -- the local entree (roast chicken with spicy red sauce), jollof rice, fried plantains was excellent! The breakfast buffet was quite nice as well, although we never found a bread/pastry item we liked. The pool is very small and you have to go thru either the dining room or the bar to get there and back! And the bar is not inviting at all. One night they refused to give our female friend a 2nd glass of wine?! And one night we found the ”no smoking” bar filled with smoke because they had a couple of ”locals” who were allowed to sit up front and smoke like chimneys. Overall this was a lovely hotel and we would recommend it to friends.

The second time was better, we loved the airconditioned room in the terrace restaurant. In spite of political curfew they did their best for the service not to decline, It s a real oasis in Freetown. The staff is nice and helpful, we felt they need more staff in the kitchen and to write the orders down, they don t know who order what and they take so much time. It is important to write everything down when meals are ordered from a group. But the meals are of very good quality. Thank you all
