This is by far the best hotel in Freetown. The property is well built, facilities are great, excellent gym for staying active during your stay. The staff were wonderful. Patricia in the reception office is the best, the men at the gate were awesome and the housekeepers were exceptional. Looking forward to staying at the Lead in the near future. Loved the pool, property grounds and location.

BED BUG ALART!!!! I stayed at this property in February 2025. When I got to my room, I saw 2 big BED bugs on the chair I immediately killed it took a picture and went to the front desk to report the problem. I wish there was an option to upload a pic of the BED BUG. I got an upgrade to the presidential suit for the night. I hope they have fixed the issue of bed bugs because this is a hotel I love.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Shahidah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is not fully open yet but this does not distract from the high standards of accommodation or the dining and relaxing facilities offered. We had an executive suite overlooking the pool with a view over Man of War Bay beyond. Both the lounge/dining room and the bedroom were very large and extremely well decorated. A large picture window overlooked the pool and could be partially opened. Aircon was most effective. The pool area was extremely well maintained and the water was just the right temperature to make it easy to enter but also to provide relieve from the heat. The rooftop restaurant provided both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside as the evening temperature was just right at about 22c.There was a very good choice of food served by very friendly waiters. Sierra Leone is desperate to increase its tourist activities and the Lead Hotel is certainly playing its part in providing lovely accommodation supported by great employees for both business visitors and tourists.
