Jam Lodge is the perfect choice for a stay in Freetown. Conveniently located, it has all necessary amenities: Clean, spacious rooms with a/c, comfortable bed and ensuite bathroom, fridge microwave etc. Surprisingly, my room was the quietest I ever had in Salone. Staff is friendly, a good breakfast is served on the balcony and Wi-Fi works well. And you can pay with credit card which I found extremely helpful.

It cost a bit more than other properties I have stayed on my African trip but was well worth few extra $ for a comfort that's comparable to a decent 3-star hotel. Bed was huge and comfy, AC worked well, good dinner on-site and nice view over Freetown. Convenient location next to a major junction (Congo Cross) so you can easily hop-on on keke (tuk-tuk) - every driver knows it. I actually walked 15-20min from a pier of the airport boat. Friendly staff, explained me very well how to get to my next destination in SL.

Clean, comfortable and well appointed room, with comfy bed, in a friendly hotel in a great location in central/west Freetown

Wifi did not work during the day we were there. Reception staff was neutral in their communication, not very welcoming. Cash payment needed for restaurant and bar. Maintenance can be better. Age of the building starts showing although it is very clean.

The rooms were very clean and airco worked very well. Comfortable bed.

Even though this seemed like a reasonably safe part of Freetown, the security perimeter is a bit unnerving. Rather expensive for location, but a good, clean hotel.

Breakfast was very nice. Cooked to your order. Great coffee Extra nice, friendly staff.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Jam Lodge in Freetown, Sierra Leone and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The hotel is located in a beautiful and peaceful part of the city, surrounded by lush greenery and just a short distance from some of Freetown's top attractions. The rooms at The Jam Lodge are spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and well-maintained. The staff at The Jam Lodge were some of the friendliest and most hospitable people I have ever met. They were always willing to go above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable and that we had everything we needed. Overall, I highly recommend The Jam Lodge to anyone planning a trip to Freetown. It's a wonderful hotel with great amenities and friendly staff, and it's located in a beautiful and peaceful part of the city.

Room spacious, clean and confortable. Super friendly staff who is available to meet up with your requests. Good breakfast (with fresh juices!). I had a very nice stay overall.

The room was too cold at first but I was able to alter the AC to suit my needs.

Patricia managed the accomodation very well. I'd stayed before so the breakfast was what I expected coffee, 2 choices, menu of various items. Good cheerful service. The same girls who served the breakfast also did the room cleaning which was daily

Stayed in November 2022

Slightly wider choice of items on evening meal menu, but it was always freshly prepared so can't really complain

Breakfast was OK, but some fresh fruit on the menu would have been a bonus

good AC

I wouldn't bother with the food outside of breakfast, as it takes forever to come. The water pressure in the shower was a little hit or miss. I had a room on the ground level by the exit, so it was a little noisy at times.

This place is a great value-for-money hotel option in a convenient location. The rooms were clean and serviced daily, the breakfast was decent, and there were a couple of nice amenities (basic gym and courtyard bar area). The wifi was serviceable (though don't expect wonders), there was hot water in the showers, and I had no issues with the AC. The staff was all quite friendly as well.

Everything and specially the food was just great. Everything was over expectations for me.

Evening meals were delicious but took a long time to be served after ordering.

Breakfast was good. Balcony location was nice. But it could be better if awnings could be an option as most of the balcony was in the hot sun during breakfast.

Fantastic staff, great A/C, very accommodating to let me check out late to catch my 2am flight. Most importantly, they have 24/7 electricity, which is quite rare for a hotel in Freetown.

I had booked junior suit but they allotted me an ordinary room, on the ground floor, and the only window in the room faced a wall (may be 2 feet from window) making it claustrophobic. They did not even had courtesy to inform me and apologize for this. It was only when I pointed it out the next day asking for reason, I was given a lame excuse that a guest in the suit continued to stay. And it was only when I pointed out that rate for the room was different, it was changed. Also, their safety lock in the room is very complicated to open. I was locked-in for almost 25 minutes.

Location is not great and in fact, Jam Lodge is shown elsewhere by google map. The name of this property is "Jam Lodge Hotel". Booking.com confused me by writing only "Jam Lodge". Using google map, my car reached wrong place at 10pm in the night and then I had to call the hotel and ask for directions. So first thing first- please use correct name for this property. Breakfast was good. On the last day I had forgotten an important item in my room when I checked out. It was kept safely and my driver picked that up in 40 minutes or so after the check out.

The compound looks old and need some renovation. But when you get inside the main building, it’s a far cry from the exterior.

Lovely breakfast. Some variety. Great views of the city and its undulating hills.

Bed sheets dirty and stained. Breakfast waitress kept saying that my order (waffle) would take time and that the omelets are done quicker.
