I loved everything about this property. The location, the facility, the amenities, the food, the staff were all on point. Best experience so far in Sierra Leone.

I was in the LEAD Hotel in November 2022 while works were still ongoing. So, the main services available in addition to the room of course were the GYM and the swimming pool. I enjoyed my stay very much, the hotel is beautiful (Mediterranean style), very comfortable and clean. The swimming pool is a real joy. The room is very comfortable and very calm. The kitchenette is also well equipped, and staff are very nice. The location is also nice, many nice restaurants are around as well as a long walk by the beach. The best hotel in Freetown I think, and it was just perfect for my long mission, and I am already booked for a second stay in December. I highly recommend it.

Unique and Luxury rooms in Freetown The Lead hotel is very well located in the heart of Aberdeen, Freetown, overlooking the Atlantic ocean and walking distance from Lumley beach. I like the fresh clean modern spacious rooms, with fully equipped kitchennete, extremely comfortable beds and how quiet the rooms are. Decent size TV s and ample space for clothes storage, high speed internet. The usual coffee and tea making facilities along with iron, ironing board and hairdryer are also to be found in the rooms. Staff are very amenable and friendly. I enjoyed the pool and the water is crystal clear. The Lead hotel is a real gem in Freetown and i highly recommend it.
