Lungi Gateway Hotel

The hotel has a large, airy, spacious compound and the hotel rooms are very big. I wouldn't call it a luxury hotel though. It however provided a more than reasonable stopover to the airport for an early morning flight. There's also a shuttle to the airport so that is convenient. The staff are super helpful and attentive - they make the difference really. If I had to rate them alone, this would be a 4 star review. The facilities themselves let the place down a bit as they're quite dated.

This hotel is overpriced. I do not understand why they offer it as a luxury hotel. The workmanship in the hotel is shoddy. Whilst the rooms are big it doesn’t really mean much. The furniture and decor is not of hotel standards. I would suggest that you look at other hotels (New Brookefields Hotel) in Sierra Leone for correct hotel standards.

As long as one is not expecting opulence, these lodgings deserve a top rating. Service is abundant, attentive, and polite. The location, between the Lungi airport and SeaCoach ferry, is exceptionally convenient. Rooms are spacious and clean, with COLD air conditioning and HOT water. Delicious, well-cooked food is served at both an outdoor cabana and indoor restaurant. Breakfast is free. I sometimes take an early ferry and enjoy relaxing in the cabana before a flight. Similarly, I have intentionally reserved a room here to REST after a series of long flights instead of blearily continuing my travels into Freetown on a midnight ferry. Highly recommended!

Two of my visitors stayed here for one night, before going up country in Sierra Leone. The room was very clean and the breakfast very nice. However the best part was that I asked if a person from the hotel could help the two visitors through the airport with immigration, change of money, Covid-test and sim-card. The feedback from the two visitors were that the help was so helpful and organized. Thank you Lungi Gateway, we will be using you in the future.
