Oui un bon coins vraiment

Rien du tout

One of the best stays of my holiday

10.0

I loved everything about this place. The room was sparkling clean and bright and there were a lot of little extras that make a difference - a small sitting area, bedside lamps, bright overhead light. There was a nice communal inside sitting area and a great balcony, also a shared microwave and kitchen sink. The staff was exceptionally friendly and we had a great meal at the restaurant. The location is great - very central. Several supermarkets, fruit sellers and restaurants within easy walking distance. Nice neighbour hood (back streets) and lot of public transport that easily connects you to all areas.

Nothing really. It really is an excellent, well run place. My only criticism is that the pictures don't refelct the exact room that you may get - which doesn;t really matter as the place is no nice anyway!

betaalbaar, goed eten, vriendelijke staf, mogelijkheid tot parkeren, maar verder viel het tegen

6.0

Het is mogelijk om tegen betaling een ontbijt, lunch of warme maaltijd te gebruiken, alleen het menu is beperkt. Het eten is wel van goede kwaliteit!

Het bed was slechts 190 cm lang terwijl ik 200 cm lang ben, de badkamer vloer was niet echt schoon, het douchegordijn hangt te hoog, waardoor er water blijft staan voor de wasbak en toilet. De kamer was erg gehorig, links van de kamer was het restaurant waar je elk gesprek kon volgen en rechts was er een algemeen balkon waar mensen nog even gezellig gingen zitten napraten....en mij dus wakker hielden.

Great place to spend your vacation in Gambia. Very clean and tidy rooms, nice garden and great food in their restaurant. Special praise goes to the people who work at this hotel. Kind, always smiling and ready to help. What else do you need for a good vacation?
