After having travelled in West Africa and stayed in smaller hotels, in families, it was such a luxury to spend two nights at the Sierra Lighthouse. I am used to power cuts, no water in bathroom or extremely little and cold water it was wonderful to actually have a hot shower. The room was excellent and the hotel is situated in a nice spot by the water. Staff do their best to give good service but a few seem new and insecure. Getting information about locations etc is difficult. It is good to be able to give guests some info about attractions.
On the whole it was a very good stay!

I used the Lighthouse from 2004/2007when visiting SL for work. The staff, especially cleaning, bar and restaurant staff were always polite, helpful and concerned to make sure all is OK. The rooms were generously sized, well equipped and clean. The restaurant was OK though there are better. Nevertheless local dishes such as Barracuda etc were excellent and it is a venue used by some of SL's more wealthy citizens. The staff hi out if their way to make you feel at home and I remember them with great affection. Sure the hotel will not be what you are used to in London or NY but you will be in a clean air conditioned room with hot and cold running water and few if any mosquito's. I would not stay anywhere else.

To me I think its a good news sierra light house been sold to better and understandable people
compared to the former propritors. I thank God for the new propritors, may God bless you.

I stayed at this hotel with my better half and 2 YO daughter (at the time) during xmas/newyear 2008/2009 and it is definitely a very clean and commendable hotel to stay in. The staff were indeed nice and the rooms overlook the sea. The hotel is nestled a short distance from a "cove" not far from what I understand is or used to be the landing pad for the Hover Craft. Air conditioning worked during the length of our stay. I do plan to use it again for our next trip. Pricing is a bit steep for what is on offer but all in all given that Sierra Leone is gradually emerging from the painful and turbulent period and thus limited in decent accomodation, this is definitely an excellent location to stay.
