Lungi Airport Hotel

We wanted two dishes for lunch and both were sold out.

I have stayed at this hotel 4 years in a row and it has become worse every year. It's dirty, there were cockroaches in my bathroom, the hot water is brown, most of the amenities are broken, when the basic items break, they do not repair them (like the door handle to the room, the light in the bathroom, the non flushing toilet, or the faucet handle that comes off), they never have the items listed on their menu, the power is inconsistent, many of the lights don't work, and the staff have become very difficult to work with. I'm not sure if it's laziness, incompetence, or a combination of the two. I don't mind that they required us to pay up front but they would not take the time to create our receipt. Despite the promise to have it ready by dinner time, it wasn't even ready before we went to sleep. And then in the morning the staff had apparently lost the receipt. Instead of creating a new one, they made us wait several hours as they "searched" for it. 30 minutes before it was even time to check out, one of the staff tried to make us leave our room so a new guest could check in. We refused since we were not ready to leave yet and had paid for the room. I am honestly surprised that this hotel is still open. I'm guessing that the proximity to the airport and the airport shuttle are what's keeping the doors open. This will be the last time we stay at this place. If any business people want to make an easy buck, just open up a small, high quality hotel near the Lungi airport with a free shuttle and you will have EVERY Westerner that comes to this country fighting over each other to give you their money. Someone please make this happen.

Extremely expensive for what you get. Positives - bed comfortable, nice sheets, good towels and big rooms. Hot water and clean water out of shower|Negatives - no point for mosquito nets as holes everywhere, no lock on bathroom door but on the shower!, shower a trickle at best. ||Internet only works intermittently in reception only. I tried 5 power points before one had power connected! Bar had beer and a bottle of rum and Fanta. Rum and Fanta anyone? The bar at the pool had more in the bar fridge. ||Breakfast not great. Hardly any food, nor cutlery or plates! However if no food then no point having these things right? Ha ha. Instant coffee only. ||The staff are nice enough. Their motto is “pride of Sierra Leone” but not sure they know what that is. It’s Africa right? We had a laugh and used it as amusement and left happy ha ha

It’s basic and a little worn but still a safe and comfortable stay. There’s even a vegan option of a very nice chickpea Ghana Curry on the menu for dinner. Rooms are large, have mosquito nets, air conditioning, wardrobe, safe, fridge, basic tv, and a decent number of plug sockets. Bathrooms have good water pressure and hot water. Staff are sweet, friendly and helpful. The air conditioning in my room wasn’t working so they quickly switched me to a new one without me even having to ask. For hotels in the area and convenience, I recommend it.

This place is very run down. We stayed here after we discovered that our flight didn't exist that particular day, so Brussels airlines comp'd us here. It was clean enough by Africa standards. Showers were hot and didn't leak too much. Air conditioning worked well. Food was okay, breakfast was normal African hotel breakfast fare. I would stay here again only if I had to.

Transfer form generator to EDSA or vice-versa and the A/C goes crazy and wakes me up at 7:30 a.m. 8 showers over the weekend, only 2 warm, one of them from a bucket... Swimming pool, barely see through, and on Sunday, forget quiet, by 17:00 the huge speaker comes out and bye-bye the quiet. The food is good though but the coffee, forget it.

Stayed here as our flight arrived in the afternoon and we didn’t want to catch the ferry at night. ||Had potential, but the bar has limited drinking options especially in relation to mixes for rum, whiskey etc as Fanta and sprite not great options. ||Breakfast was included in the price but when we first arrived there was not much in the way of choice ie half a bowl of cereal, a few baked beans and some bread for roasting with no butter or condiments. As we sat there further food started to arrive including banana bread and cooked onions, plantain bananas, tomatoes and the option for scrambled eggs. Of course no advice about menu options. ||The room was interesting with locks on the outside of the shower which was pretty bad. ||At least the rooms had air conditioning and, the beds were excellent and comfortable.

If your flight is in early morning this hotel is your only alternative to spending the night at the airport. The airport is about an hour trip by boat and getting one is not an easy task as they don't have proper schedules. The hotel is clean enough. The food is not the best but the service is very good. I got unlucky to find the internet service dead but otherwise it is fine for a night.
