Good location, easy to find - there is a ventilator in the room, and an AC is working if there is electricity. Some of the staff is working there.

− There were very frequent electricity blackouts - sometime you could not even charge your phone, of wifi. AC operation rather fragmented - so was the ventilator.

I booked a single bunk in a 4-bed room. I had the room all to myself as I was the only guest. It was clean and basic. It had good water flow in bathroom. Comfortable mattress and pillow. Had Strong wifi. Caretaker was helpful.

− Very dark alleyways to the house if you are walking at night. There might be some stray dogs so be wary. After going out to get dinner, the metal door/gate that leads up to the rooms is difficult to open with the key provided—it is better to ask caretaker to show you how to open the door before leaving the house so as not to have trouble opening it like i did. It took me 15 mins trying to figure out how to open it at 11:00pm. A lady neighbor helped me by yelling out the caretaker’s name but to no avail as he was probably already sleeping. So also good idea to get his number just in case. AC didn’t work even after turning on switch so I used just fan, and it was very humid. Strange because in booking dot com app, the place was fully booked but in reality, I was the only guest that day. I could have booked for me and my friend in the same place.

Sicurezza. Rapporto qualità prezzo accettabile per la zona.

− Bagno nel dormitorio molto spartano e sicuramente da rinnovare. Posizione difficile da trovare e in quartiere poco centrale. Personale talvolta accoglienti talvolta no.

Comfortable after a day of exploring hectic Freetown

It’s a very cozy and safe place to relax after hectic Freetown. They have a great terrace area with a hammock!

− They use a generator when the power cuts, that is set on a sort of alarm which turns off at 3am making it impossible to have a good rest as the fans obviously turns off when there’s no power. The WiFi doesn’t work when the power is off which is constantly. This is a Freetown problem but I believe it could be solved better in terms of the generator. Would be nice if they sold water or breakfast as they have staff that works there.

The cheapest option with and AC and a generator.

The beds were clean and had mosquito nets. The room was spacious with only 4 beds. There's an AC in the room and 2 fans. The location is good; it's like a village on the western side of the city. It is safe even walking at night. There are small shops nearby. You can buy basic stuff and cook in the fully equipped kitchen. The beaches are 15-20 minutes walking or 5 min by tuktuk. The fast ferry to the airport is just 10 min walking distance. The staff were ok and helpful. The view from the balcony is great. It's the cheapest place in town. In fact it's the only hostel in Freetown on Booking.com. They have a generator in case of power cuts. The wifi is fast.

− The toilet needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance. There's no hot water and the water pressure is weak. The generator is right under the dorm window; very loud. But still; you get what you pay for. A basic hotel in the area is 3-4 times more expensive.
