I was pleased there were 110v plugs. The food in the restaurant took a long time for supper-45mins to 1hr. The portions for breakfast was very skimpy and you had to ask for everything that you wanted extra. The internet was weak. The room and property was kept very well considering the outside surroundings.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Jam Lodge is a bohemian and well kept property. The staff are friendly and hospitable. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Jam Lodge is basically a home away from “home”. The property is very well maintained and located in the heart of Freetown. I encourage anyone visiting Sierra Leone to please patronize Jam Lodge. You will not regret it. My regards to the property manager Ms. Patricia, she’s very warm and friendly. The staff Zainab, Hawa and Mariama are hard working, friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was so delicious!! Best fresh squeezed pineapple juice I ever tasted. Job well done Jam Lodge!!

Home away from home...

The Jam Lodge is just lovely. It does not have a swimming pool or 24 room service of course, but the family run places makes you feel like family, the cooking is wonderful, and the place is just great.

Fair

The bed are confortable and room great. Perferct place if you are not considering out of the room. The environment is more like home or airbnb. You need to knock the door each time before they open the door. I will recommend if you have low budget and not looking for Hotel environment and conditions.

Nice relaxing respite

I stayed here for my few final days in W. Africa after several weeks of traveling in the bush. I was really pleasantly surprised at how nice the hotel was -- with everything in super good condition, working properly, and comfortable (not a given at all in this region!!). The owners and staff were super nice, friendly, and helpful, and it was a pleasure to interact with them. The hotel had a good included breakfast, nice rooms with air-con, and a very pleasant common area to hang out in, watch the news, and have a drink. The hotel is convenient to the Seabird Ferry terminal, and there are a few places to eat nearby. All in all I'd highly recommend the Jam Lodge to others looking for a very pleasant place to stay while in Freetown.

Nice refuge

This was a really nice and well run hotel, with very pleasant and helpful owners and staff, common area and rooms in excellent condition. It was really a comfortable landing spot after several weeks in the bush, and I would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

Friendly and safe

I highly recommend this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. You can feel secure at this facility. One staff member, Henry, took the time to tell me about his experiences during the civil war. The house matron is very friendly and attentive. Breakfast is very nice, and lunch and dinner are available for a reasonable price. If I come back to Freetown, I will definitely stay here again.

Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Wir wurden sehr freundlich und sehr gut aufgenommen. Das Personal ist sehr gut, das Essen hervorragend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch die Sauberkeit ist hervorragend. Die Lage ist gut sowohl um in die Stadt wie auch zu den Stränden zu kommen. Einzig die Kirche, die hinter der Lodge seine Services abhält ist manchmal sehr laut und auch befremdlich.
