The hotel served me well as I had business in Banjul. The rooms, while clean, were fairly dilapidated due to broken air conditioners upon arrival. The service provided by the friendly and helpful staff from this beautiful facility was remarkable, reminiscent of those who previously worked for the Red Cross. Though the location was too remote for our liking, the hotel was perfect to explore Banjul beyond the main city area. The dining experience could be a bit better, but the home-baked Alentejo bread was sumptuous.
