Hotels With Breakfast in Western Area, Sierra Leone

The Country Lodge Hotel in Freetown is a fantastic place to stay! The views are absolutely breathtaking – from the hotel, you get an exceptional panorama of the city as well as a stunning ocean view that’s perfect for relaxing and taking in the beauty of Freetown. The food was delicious, with a nice variety of dishes that were always fresh and flavorful. The staff and management went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable; they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with any need. I highly recommend Country Lodge Hotel for anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming place to stay in Freetown.

My family traveled from the US to Freetown for our dad’s funeral. I was impressed with the cleanliness of our room and the view of the ocean. It was very relaxing to sit down and sip a cup of tea and watch the view. The restaurant in the hotel had amazing food. The staff was attentive. Accommodating and caring. My sister was not feeling well in the middle of the night. Their driver took us to the hospital and brought us back. The night manager checked on us frequently to make sure we are okay and the owner dropped by to check in on us we felt safe and cared for. I will definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel.

Most of staff were very pleasant and helpful, especially Monica and evening staff at the Bar:Robert. The hotel management could look at upgrading the standard and refurbishing the rooms. Overall I had a pleasant stay.

The whole hotel culture is “we do not care about the guests”. Examples: -asked the receptionist to call through their landline number a local restaurant to investigate if they were open or closed. They showed no willingness to do so and they didn’t. -the cleaning lady got into my room while I was still inside and without my permission in order to pick up the towels -asked for the gym, no staff seemed to know where it is located. Once, somebody eventually, pinpointed it to me, the whole gym was without electricity, completely abandoned and out of use (see photo) -throughout my friends long stay, after a week the hotel staff freaked out with the aggregating costs and they decided to block the guests key without informing/discussing with them the situation.

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.

I had a one month stay at the swiss hotel as i traveled for work to Freetown. I needed a kitchen as i was following a specific nutrition protocol and spacious room for exercising amd for work. I checked over six hotels to see if they meet my needs on my pre-visit and i chose the swiss (and stayed in two other places in freetown). For the one month stay Apartments at the swiss hotel perfectly met my needs. The general manager Ms Zulu was extremely helpful, caring and accomodating. Staff supported requests and questions very swiftly. I was very happy about my stay at the swiss hotel, and if i ever go back, i wont even think about staying anywhere else. I must say that finding a good lodging in freetown is a challenge, and even a lot more expenaive hotels provided substantially less than the swiss hotel can offer. I d recommend it to all travelers who come for a short mission or a 2-8 week mission.

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.

The Hotel offers nice views of the hillside of Freetown and easily accessed by transport to the SeaCoach Ferry and Water Taxi terminal. Decent rooms if only just a bit dated, friendly and helpful staff. Nice large courtyard to host large parties. Hot water is available in the rooms and the surroundings are clean

I am impressed with the service here. The attention to detail is quite great. Only thing was that I had to call the kitchen to access the menu all the time. I think they should just put a QR in every room to scan for the menu. After making my choice then I can call the kitchen. I don’t want someone standing before me and waiting for me to patiently make a choice.

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.

My room had a beautiful view of the mountain and I loved it!
