We travel to Sierra Leone 3-4 times per year and typically stay in Freetown for a night on the way in and out of the country. For the past 3 years, we have found the Sierra Lighthouse Hotel to be the most reliable option in Freetown. Our reservations have been honored (not a given in Freetown) and the rooms, which... More

As a regular visitor to Freetown I had stopped using Sierra Lighthouse - the dark lane you need to go through to get anywhere at night means you need to be prepared to eat at the hotel restaurant which used to be very poor. However this time I needed some comfort and Sierra Lighthouse provides that plus good desk space... More

I stayed for a couple of nights after a week long tour of Sierra Leone. Hot water and electricity were blissful! The hotel itself was pretty good - recently decorated and tidy. It is just a shame that it wasn't slightly closer to Lumley beach (still only a short walk to the noth end) and bigger shame that there was... More

Not a bad hotel, a little pricey, however, I guess all hotels are in West Africa. Rooms were clean, and fairly basic. Staff are a bit slow.. I would stay here again as it overall wasn't a bad experience. More

If you are looking for a calm and comfortable place to stay at Sierra Leone, then the Sierra Lighthouse Hotel is the best option. The hotel’s location is nice. The services provided and the staffs are nice. The room which I stayed in along with my hubby and our two little girls was clean, cozy and comfortable. The facilities were... More

I have just spent two nights at the Sierra Lighthouse hotel. The location is good, overlooking Man of War bay. Standards of cleanliness are generally OK. The service is less good. Unfortunately I was ripped off by the restaurant staff on two occasions; management failed to deal with this. Small amounts but no-one likes to be ripped off. Will be... More
