The Stafford Lodge

I came back to Stafford lodge this year with Bea Adventurous on a cultural immersion tour of Freetown. Sierra Leone might well be a third world country, but with the country now at peace after the Civil War it is well worth a trip for those looking to explore a new culture, learn about its incredible history and the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. The hotel is run by Doree a d her team and if you’re looking for a safe hotel in Freetown, at a reasonable price, this is the place to come. The hotel has come on leaps and bounds since my last visit despite the tough economic conditions of this country. Westerners have very different expectations hotels that they stay in across the world and I think that Dory and her amazing staff are doing an incredible job at encouraging tourism was making you feel safe and secure. The rooms are really comfortable with air-conditioning, hot showers and there’s always a cold beer and nice food. The hotel is central and offers transport in and around the city. Be brave and come and visit! This is definitely the place to stay in Freetown. cold beer in the fridge.

Hospitality was excellent you feel like you are staying in one of the excellent hotels in the USA nothing is missing electricity was excellent there breakfast was excellent. I would definitely go back there and I recommend it to anyone who wants to go there do not hesitate!

Having had a wonderful stay here in 2022 I decided to return again this year along with a group of friends. The welcome was just as warm as I remembered it, the aircon just as cold and the bed just as comfortable. As well as staying with Dori, we also used Dori’s tour services: Salone Hidden Gems. She helped me plan a really great 4 day itinerary for my guests and me which included a city tour, a cooking class, a history tour and time on the beach amongst other things. What made the stay special though were the small touches. The gift bag upon arrival, dinner on the first night, staff that couldn’t do enough for us, arranging the money exchange man to meet us at the hotel, bottles of wine, and lifts here there and everywhere. Dori and her team at Stafford Lodge are a real gem and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when in Freetown!
