This was a beautiful property and stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Despite the ongoing construction and frequent power outages (the generators or supply quickly kicked in each time) it was a great place to stay.

The management team were very professional and welcoming. I am very impressed by the excellent service I received. I was given a free upgrade and the one bedroom apartment was exclusive. This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Freetown and will definitely revisit it. I highly recommend it- Allain keep up the excellent and outstanding hospitality.

Excellent hotel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel to family and friends. The staff were extremely attentive whilst being discreet. We took advantage of the pool and ordered snacks from the restaurant. The room was an excellent size with modern decor. Whilst the hotel grounds was picturesque.

Peaceful and beautiful
The hotel was a peaceful and beautiful getaway from the more intense city life. The room was spacious with a kitchen and living room, and a large bedroom with a very comfortable bed. The staff were all welcoming, helpful and professional. The gym was top notch with all the equipment you will need. And the pool is amazing.

4/10 Fair

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
