The Lead Hotel

"I never leave reviews for any hotels. I expect the best when I book the best. Fortunately for The Lead Hotel, I am going to leave a review because I was impressed with all aspects of your property." "The Hotel and Room - The hotel is located perfectly away from the inner city and closer to one of the beaches, which I appreciated. Cosmetically, the hotel is well-manicured and secure. They clean the hotel grounds, trim the bushes, and paint the scuffs every day like they do at Disneyland (impressive). Secondly, I was upgraded to a larger room with a kitchen, washer, and dryer inside the room at no cost because the hotel was crowded. (That has nothing to do with the review.) The room was very clean and up to my standards. The hotel has day and night security guards." "The Staff - I reached out to the hotel a few weeks before I arrived in Freetown concerning transportation to the hotel, and the staff couldn’t have been any more helpful. They provided transportation from the Sea-coach Docks. Housekeeping was prompt and attentive to my schedule, and regardless of what time I left, the room was pristine clean when I got back. The front desk staff and the managing partner or owner were all very friendly and went above and beyond to address any questions I had." "The Pool - Loved the pool. I was there every single day, basking in the sun. The pool boy was there every single day cleaning the pool. It’s the closest thing to an infinity pool." "Restaurant - Now, this I think can be improved a little. Not so much the restaurant itself, but the menu. The whole menu was western food (burgers, pizza, etc.). When you are in Sierra Leone, you might want some of the local staple food. Have some local dishes on the menu as well for those of us who are curious about the local cuisines."

Had the best time, best hotel in Freetown by far! No one compares

We stayed for 8 days and had a lovely time. Excellent hotel. Very nice pool surrounded by a nice garden with flowers and trees. The breakfast is top notch. All the staff including the manager was super friendly and extremely helpful with everything we needed or wanted. Would love to come back one day.

Everything was wonderful, we stayed at the hotel for several days, it is not cheap but it is really worth staying here, impeccable breakfast, varied, à la carte, good design, top-notch cuisine. and the kitchen has a very attentive chef - European - it makes us even more want to stay there and live. an EXPERIENCE at the level of American or European Hotels

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.
