The hotel is not fully open yet but this does not distract from the high standards of accommodation or the dining and relaxing facilities offered. We had an executive suite overlooking the pool with a view over Man of War Bay beyond. Both the lounge/dining room and the bedroom were very large and extremely well decorated. A large picture window overlooked the pool and could be partially opened. Aircon was most effective. The pool area was extremely well maintained and the water was just the right temperature to make it easy to enter but also to provide relieve from the heat. The rooftop restaurant provided both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside as the evening temperature was just right at about 22c.There was a very good choice of food served by very friendly waiters. Sierra Leone is desperate to increase its tourist activities and the Lead Hotel is certainly playing its part in providing lovely accommodation supported by great employees for both business visitors and tourists.

This was a beautiful property and stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Despite the ongoing construction and frequent power outages (the generators or supply quickly kicked in each time) it was a great place to stay.
