The Lead Hotel

As someone who spends close to 100 nights a year in hotels around the world, I don't say this lightly: Lead Hotel Freetown far exceeded my expectations. A genuinely outstanding stay on every dimension that matters. Three things stood out: 1) Design and layout. The property is beautiful - aesthetically thoughtful, immaculately clean, and lifted by the most gorgeous pink flowers throughout the grounds. It sets the tone the moment you arrive. 2) Food. The ground-floor restaurant is Michelin-quality, both in taste and presentation, with a wide range of European and American options. Breakfast in particular was exceptional and something I looked forward to every morning. 3) Service. This was my first time in Sierra Leone, and the team made me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I arrived. I received a room upgrade, lovely surprise touches like complimentary dessert sent to the room, and every question I had was addressed immediately. There was also a real, visible effort to seek feedback - rare and very much appreciated. Special thanks to Ester, Hashim, and Naseem, who each went out of their way to make the stay memorable. The location is superb, and the surrounding environment felt very safe throughout my stay.

One piece of constructive feedback: the hotel transfer service to and from the sea coach terminal could be tightened. I waited roughly 20 minutes on both legs versus the time originally agreed. Worth addressing, given how strong everything else is.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the location is walking distance to a Chinese restaurant and bar, the room was always clean and the air conditioning was excellent. The daytime food is nice and varied and I recommend the Mint mocktail! And the cheesecake! The bancany of the restaurant has excellent views. Overall a very pleasant stay,

The breakfast is a bit limited for choice

Confortable and big rooms

The rest , restaurant and the rest of facility can be improved
