Gambia is a little hidden gem in winter! Great weather,hot during the day,cool at night! I stayed at this hotel for a week in Jan. First time in The Gambia. I'd read some awful reviews....but do not dismiss this hotel...yes at the moment its a bit basic. They put us in a noisy room at the front,next morning we asked... More

Friendly staff, cats and egrets! Stayed here for a night on the way to Farafenni and again one night on the way back. The room was nothing special, but having spent two weeks 'up country', the luxury of hot water and electricity which worked, it was a welcome relief.

Having been travelling... More

Perhaps they are updating the odd room but ours was dark dingy and smelt of damp. Our shower was hanging precariously from a loose wire. Security seems to be non-existent since you could not... More
