overrated, unfriendly, overpriced and inhospitable

There was no hot water, the light was intermittent, the television didn't work throughout my stay and the front desk staff were all quite inept, clueless and borderline rude. There were ants everywhere in the room.

The facility, people, food, views were excellent. We would definitely return. Only drawback was that it is isolated; no places to walk to/around. But the rest of the stay made up for that.

Amadou

Disliked: Cleanliness
The linen was not changed in a timely manner. That raises questions about hygiene. The toilet was not cleaned with sanitizer or bleach solution leaving the toilet with a discernible smell of urine. We had to purchase sanitizer from outside to clean the toilet. There were large ants crawling in and out of the room through gaps in the doorways. Again, we had to purchase insecticide from outside to take care of the pesky ants. Mr Drammeh (the tall one) and the restaurant crew did the best under the poor management that they find themselves in. The level of management at this hotel is woefully inadequate. We wouldn't stay at this hotel again for even $5.

No-frills lodge

Budget lodge located at the western end of the Senegambia, near Turntable. Property is a bit worn, but the hosts are lovely and very friendly. The room would be better if air conditioning was included, but it comes at an extra charge. Also, no towels or soap are provided in the room. Mosquito net was large and covered the entire bed. Lovely wooden doors and furniture. Breakfast was OK, but it was a bit messy with drippings all over the serving trays - they should have someone there to clean as people are serving themselves. Wifi worked well. Overall, it was a reasonable stay.

Les employés à la réception n'était pas très sympathiques mais ceux du restaurant et les de l'entretient étaient beaucoup plus amicaux. L'hôtel est bien. Par contre, il fallait payer un supplément pour la climatisation de 10 euros par jour et aucune mention à ce sujet.

Hotellet ligger perfekt vid Atlanten, med milsvida sandstränder och för dem som vill roa sig lite mer finns Senegambias utbud några minuter bort i taxi. Städningen är mycket bra och maten i hotellets restaurang är bra. Personalen är vänlig och tillmötesgående om du behöver hjälp, men det saknas en portier på hotellet. Hotellområdet är kuperat med stenbelagda gångar och det saknas en kärra som kan transportera bagage eller andra tyngre föremål mellan reception och hotellrum. Det saknas också kryckor och rullstol om olyckan skulle vara framme. Ett inslag som många tycker är trevligt är den lilla apkoloni som finns på området med jämna mellanrum. 10-15 gröna makaker som tyvärr matas av obetänksamma turister. Det gör att du kan ha en apmamma sittande på balkongräcket när du minst anar det. Hon är först och främst ute efter bananer eller annan frukt, men vill det sig illa kan du bli av med mobilen om du lämnat den ute på balkongbordet. Överlag ett trevligt mellanklasshotell med fördelar och nackdelar.

De accommodatie was in feite OK : rustig, mooie kamer, goede ligging, goed ontbijt . Wat alles evenwel kapot maakte, was dat er 1000 euro uit onze kamer 61 gestolen is . Vermoedelijk door poetsvrouw omdat enkel zij toegang tot de kamer had . In dit verband ook heel arrogant behandeld door de general manager Jim . Bovendien weigerde hij elke tegemoetkoming of ondersteuning . Wat begon als een sprookje is geëindigd in een nachtmerrie !

Caution

Arrived early and was told by receptionist room hadn't been allocated. She gave us the intro to the hotel, told us about meals, breakfast and facilities etc. We were told to go to the beach and our room would be ready in a couple of hours. Having not moved from the beach, we returned to find we had been relocated to the next door hitel. No apology, discussion or any communication, just done and not even told about it! The reservation lead had done it and left for the day. The receptionist then denied telling us anything and said we would be relocated(one person didnt want to help and went on break!) She then lied about coming to find us when other members of staff at the beach vouched that we were there and she hadnt come looking. The constant lying , changing stories, poor service and comminication was an awful experience (especially when this was known beforehand). Asked to speak to the manager, nobody around. receptionist was rude, confrontational and mismanaging the situation. Totally understand at being overbooked, if we were told at the start that they were overbooked and we may be moved, no problem. The fact there was no communication(despite knowing this situation had arisen) is appalling service and client management. Stayed at the sea view apartments next door, cannot have had a better stay. The staff were amazing, friendly and open, spoke honestly and empathise. Bigger rooms, nicer apartments, friendly people.Will return tothe sea view apartments for sure!!
