    Usually there is a buffet set up. Here there is a breakfast buffet set up and you get a complete breakfast plate of food brought to your table. Excellent!

    The lack of pressing iron ans limited choices for breakfast.

    I wish there was an iron and safe (deposit box) in the room. I don't need to pay for ironing my clothes.

    A beautiful hotel nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the hills of Freetown. Room was specious and clean. Had a short stay but would definitely recommend it as a great place to stay when visiting Freetown.

    Liked most things to be honest.

    Fantastic hotel. Owners are always around to support guests and staff members were ready to SERVE. The facility feels like home and it's just a few distance from the US Embassy. The view from the room is also fantastic

    Options of restaurant menu , which was really limited. Should have international menu to cater international guests.

    Breakfast was good with freshly made omelet. Excellent part was the warm welcome extended by the lady responsible for the restaurant/ breakfast.

    My stay in Starford was superb. I would like to stay there any other time I have opportunity for it.

    Well, it is obvious that there is nothing like perfection anywhere. So, in the case of Starford facility, I can only suggest efforts to ensure the water pressure in the bathroom is increased. Otherwise the hot/cold water system worked very well for me. The air conditioning is good. I was not too keen on cable news but the TV showed very clean pictures and the sound very audible.

    Location of the facility is great and I was not deceived by what I read on Booking.com about the location of the facility. I was actually searching for a facility in that location. I very much liked it. The bed in my room was excellent. I can only compare it with beds I have slept on in other five star hotels. Honestly, I was late for breakfast because I had an early morning appointment. On my return however, one of the front hall staffer did everything to let me have a good break fast. In my short stay in Starford, I was able to learn about some historic areas in Sierra Leone as I found out from my conversation with the friendly staff that facility also runs a tour guide - I had very limited time to accept an offer from the management to take me to a Chimpanzee Sanctuary (Tacugama) about 20 minutes away from that Starford facility.

    Best hotel we stayed at in Sierra Leone. Great location, well equipped rooms with good AC. The best thing about the hotel though is the staff. The hotel manager was amazing. We had some problems with our PCR test prior to departure and she helped us out a great deal to fix it. We also had some very nice and interesting conversations with her and other members of staff. We can wholeheartedly recommend staying at Stafford Lodge!

    The whole array could be different or better. But the way it is now, suits us just fine.

    Stafford Lodge is a typical American hotel/motel with all the amenities abusiness traveler needs:large soft bed, clean bathroom, a table to write and armchair to sit down, working aircon and, of course, free internet - all for a very affordable price. Not to mention the Owners who undoubtedly contribute to a well being. From the warm wellcome on arrival to the small talk with guests, they will always find time and a good word for their guests. With one word: the atmosphere is cozy and everything is done for the guest to feel like at home. There is also free pareking available and although access is by a rather steep road, one should not get scared away because of that. Staffords, you will see us surely again, whenever we will find ourselves around these parts.
