利德酒店(The Lead Hotel)

It was amazing

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

Ficamos em família com criança pequena e tivemos uma ótima experiência. Todo o staff foi incrivelmente educado e solícito. Congrats! Restaurante muito bom pratos saborosos. Academia com vários aparelhos e a piscina agradável. Recomendo ficar neste hotel em Freetown

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

New hotel in Freetown, which I’m told is better than any others in the city. Absolutely fantastic pool, and really good security and ground staff. Good breakfasts. Great to have a desk. Note that the claim to a private beach on the site is false. The reason for non 5 star review is that when doing travel logistics, uncertainty and anxiety is constant - and a hotel should relieve not add to them: airport shuttle driver didn’t arrive, credit card machine not working for check out, invoice not ready (adding to time-stress). The restaurant is ok but I suspect many guests will prefer to walk to the sunset-side of the bay to eat.

Disappointing Where do I begin? From the advertising and pictures, The Lead looks amazing but in reality my stay there did not match the type of service and experience they claim to give. Who wants to stay and pay for an executive suite when the hotel is still under construction? I sadly did. Firstly, this hotel claims to have beach access and when I asked I was told “ there is no access to the beach it’s dirty now and not ready yet”. It is all false information and there is absolutely no beach access. I saw the beach from a locked cage that was placed there. I was fooled by their instagram a social media posts and that was the first red flag. Secondly this hotel has room service which is a plus but sadly the food is more near to airplane food. The food is extremely salty and the breakfast omelet is not from fresh eggs it’s powdered and microwaved ( why I likened it to the meals served at airplanes). The meat, chicken for that matter, is imported and not even local meat/products are used . Who wants to eat imported frozen meat why not just use local fresh products? The food menu extremely boring and simple for a 2 star hotel. My biggest issue is that this hotel gives off the perception that it is not accommodating for African or local Sierra Leonean guests for that matter (the food menu is entirely western food without even one local African cuisine on the menu). I didn’t feel anything African or a hint of the local food/culture at the The Lead Hotel which is in the be

I’ve been in Sierra Leone many times and visited many hotels but the lead exceeded my expectations. We rented the lead suite which was 2 bedrooms. Housekeeping did an amazing job with the cleanliness of the rooms. The room service was fantastic as we were ordering every night with my friends. The beef burger is a bloc buster!! The scenery is wonderful and we certainly enjoyed the pool

I didn’t feel anything African or a hint of the local food/culture at the The Lead Hotel which is in the beautiful West African Country of Sierra Leone. When I tried cooking, my “executive suite room” had no gas for 3 days until I notified reception to install one in my room (which again attests to the hotel still being under construction).My final note was being rudely called in while I was sleeping during the rain to come to the main reception and pay my room service bill because “it was too high”. I’ve had a white friend who stayed here and had a bill of over $1000 usd in room service and was told he would pay after check out. My bill was half of that and I was asked again rudely and unprofessionally by staff giving the perception that I could not afford my stay there. After this I did not spend another penny on room service. I was over the whole experience and wanted no more of it.As I told them face to face if you want Africans abroad living in Europe and America to spend money on your hotel, respect us and treat us as you would any other non-African guest local or not local. Apart from the amazing and sweet cleaning ladies who made me smile every day, the people who run this hotel are non locals and need to fixate their entire marketing strategy cause I noticed during my stay there. Overall I was extremely disappointed in The Lead Hotel, they out here giving false advertisement. One advice, complete your hotel and then you can market it. If not , y’all out here giving fallacies cause you’re still a work in progress. Do better, be better.

Amazing hotel wonderful service, very clean rooms, staff was super helpful especially that I was on a business trip and needed to book car rental service with a driver. Their room service menu is very tasty and I always enjoyed the breakfast at the restaurant while having a look at the ocean. Keep up the good work
