I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The lively atmosphere was enjoyable, especially with the weekend music and clean pool. However, the outdated rooms and inconsistent Wi-Fi were disappointing. The staff was attentive, and the on-site dining options were decent but on the pricier side, which was a bit unexpected for a two-star hotel.

The hotel serves as a convenient stop for those arriving late, offering decent amenities like a clean pool and an on-site restaurant with OK food. While the staff is generally friendly and the atmosphere lively, the rooms felt outdated and the Wi-Fi connection was poor. There were some service hiccups with payment, which made the overall experience a bit unsettling, especially regarding safety concerns. However, the location is great, just a short walk from the beach.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, especially the relaxing pool bar that serves some of the coldest beers in Gambia. While the rooms might be spartan, I found them clean and comfortable. The biggest drawbacks were the inconsistent customer service and some outdated areas of the property. The restaurant was decent, although I would have liked more variety in the menu.

I booked this hotel last minute after my airport transfer fell through, and while I was grateful for the accommodation, the experience was a mixed bag. The on-site restaurant served decent food, and I particularly enjoyed the fried rice. However, the outdated rooms and poor Wi-Fi were disappointing, and I felt uncomfortable due to an awkward situation involving extra change I received. On the bright side, it provided a meal and a place to stay on short notice.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel has a really lively atmosphere, especially on weekends with music playing. The pool is clean and refreshing, but some of the amenities, including the rooms, could use a bit of updating. The restaurant offers decent food, though the prices are a bit high for the hotel's star rating. Overall, it's a good value in terms of ambiance and service, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.
