Best value I’ve found in Freetown.

It’s a bit difficult to find even for keke or taxi drivers, look for a sign in green letters on Peninsular road. The road is rough. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. They will do your laundry or go at night to get you food. Tip them well they work hard.

Good Value for your Money

The staff is great and you get good value for what you spend however, more efforts needs to be put in management issues such as ensuring parking places is well managed, more drivers to assist client with cars and ensure that clients can enjoy their stay and not constantly worry about parking issues. The Breakfast was good but must also have non spicy option as not everyone want to eat spicy food, and more efforts must be made to keep the shared kitchen clean. More efforts must be made to have power constant and for the generator to not be out of fuel.

GREAT LODGE, VALUE FOR MONEY, LOVELY EMPLOYEES!!!

All but positive for me. This lodge is wonderful, the customer care is impeccable. Everything and everyone is lovely. The guys that work in this place are Godsent. They aim to please. No job is too big for them. Anything you ask for they will do their level best to make it happen. Breakfast was delicious and if you miss breakfast there is always a plate saved for you to have whenever you like. I stayed at the lodge with my kids and the loved it. It was a home from home. Starting from the owner to each and everyone of the employees were very accommodating. I recommend this lodge to anyone and I won’t stay anywhere else. Thanks to Isatu, fadika, Arthur, Abubakar, claude, saow for making me and my kids Christmas holiday a memorable one, the lovely drivers for pick ups and drop offs at the airport. Mr Ismail thanks for everything and for your swift response whenever I needed any questions answered and your assistance from booking your lodge, during my stay and leaving. DO NOT HESITATE BOOKING THIS PLACE, IT’’S REMARKABLE AND THE OWNER AND EMPLOYEES ARE LOVELY. GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!!

A Perfect Stay, Good Service for a Good Price

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ishmajoso Lodge, and it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, the warmth and friendliness of the staff were very welcoming. Every interaction with the hotel employees was marked by smiles and a genuine willingness to assist, making me feel welcomed and valued. The room itself was a spacious and clean which made you feel in total comfort. It was evident that attention to detail is a priority here, with every corner spotless and every amenity in perfect order. The bed was comfortable, and sheets the sheets was clean as they should be, ensuring a good night’s sleep after my travels. What made my stay particularly pleasant was the overall ambiance created by the staff. They were not only professional but also exceptionally courteous and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure that my stay was as enjoyable as possible. The place has a huge backup generator which you can use continuous AC also when it’s switched on, which is not always available at other places, it also has washing machines and laundry facilities also. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, the combination of friendly staff, immaculate accommodations, and a serene environment makes this hotel a perfect choice.

TERRIBLE PLACE WITH MOLD! Terribly terrible place.

Very nasty lodge. I regretted staying there. The nice photos posted online is a scam. It's not the same as you see it online. All the the good reviews are a bunch of lies, only those that say its a terrible place are genuinely telling the truth. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! IEven the nice kitchen posted online is a SCAM!! very terrible! I am glad I left

Nice and quiet place to stay

Nice place to stay. Friendly staff and a good breakfast included each morning. I used the laundry and airport service and they both were good. The price is reasonable and the only negative thing is getting used to the frequent power outages, but that usually takes five minutes before they turn on the generator. An automated service switching between the EDSA and the generator would be recommended.
