If you visit Sierra Leone and choose not to stay at The Lead Hotel, you are missing out on an exceptional experience. I must emphasize that the staff is genuinely outstanding—friendly, attentive, and professional. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, with top-notch security and just the right balance of amenities, including comfortable rooms, reliable Wi-Fi, and a peaceful environment. The restaurant offers delicious cuisine, with a diverse menu that caters to various tastes, prepared with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. The management team is highly dedicated; they ensure that any concerns are promptly addressed and often go above and beyond to ensure guests' satisfaction. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, making you feel at home away from home. This is my second stay here, and I am already planning to return because of the exceptional service and inviting environment.

I had a great stay! Staff were attentive and friendly and the WiFi was strong! The view and pool are to die for. Only thing I did not love was the restaurant, I found the portions to be small for the price. I also wasn’t too impressed with the menu in general. But I loved the wait staff, they were really sharp and good for short banter. If they are more generous with the food and improve on the offerings and flavor this would be a 10/10. But I’ll give it a solid 8.7 and I will definitely come again if all the rooms aren’t booked as they usually are.

My stay at the leads hotels was luxurious and comfortable. The manager went far and beyond to ensure that my stay was excellent. The food was 10 out of 10 and so was the interior of my room. Great finishes, very clean and well sanitized, well stocked at themini bar. The bath products provided were aromatic and added to my relax. I highly recommend this property when seeking a relaxing luxurious experience in Freetown.
