Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
