What stood out was the amazing attention to detail that the Marketing Manager (Iye Mary Kowa) demonstrated.

I wanted an Hotel that was on the beach so was somewhat disappointed that the Atlantic Hotel is a beachfront accommodation.

Mary however rallied her team and other managers to more than compensate for the hiatus.

I would highly recommend this accommodation for its stellar staff and their professionalism.

The owners are extremely lucky to have such dedicated staff and whatever they are earning they deserve more.

They felt like family at the point I checked out of the Atlantic Hotel.❤️

The front desk staff denied our team accommodation saying he never received any details of our booking prior our arrival from his team despite presenting evidences and receipts received from our booking on Expedia.

We were asked to pay for other rooms while the hotel sort out the \"miscommunication\" the next morning while being kept waiting for hours in the hotel lobby after a long and arduous trip.

Our host came to intervene sometime after midnight to insist we do not pay extra before being allocated the rooms we paid for.

I always stay at the Atlantic Lumley when I arrive in Freetown. It's always just for one night on either end of my trip. On the ten occasions I have stayed here, I found it to be an excellent choice of hotel.

Our stay was very nice. The room, staff and breakfast were excellent. They should not advertise an exercise room. They had one treadmill that was not operational and not much other equipment. We took a jog on the beach instead of utilizing the exercise room. Also, only one elevator was functioning, and it had a distinctive odor. Otherwise, the stay was fine. Nice room, good a/c, excellent breakfast, and easy, safe parking.

I love that the hotel faces the beach but if you do not like noise at night, then do not book a room facing the beach because of the live band and loud music. The breakfast was good with traditional selections to choose from. The rooms were very spacious, clean and up to date. The bathroom very nice and clean. Staff was excellent. The only issue I had were the roaches that came out from under the bed and dresser when the lights turned off. I woke up to roahes crawling on the floor, nightstand and bathroom sink.

My room was one of the nicest I have ever had in Freetown and I have been traveling to Freetown since 1999. A comfortable bed and a very clean and well equipped bathroom. The breakfast was adequate, but the lack of AC in the large room is a bit uncomfortable in the hot season.

Convenient to activities at Lumley Beach. Spent 8 days and based on experience, recommend additional training for Front Line Staff in customer service and professionalism. Inappropriate discussions about guests, and staff’s personal activities. Delayed and in-consistent response for service from some employees. Concerns were addressed after complaint to Manager. All Staff should be a representation of what looks to be a classy hotel.

The hotel design was really impressive. The rooms were spacious and had plenty of amenities. The bed was super comfortable! Staff were very accommodating.

Coming from Europe I found the food slightly odd. Breakfast was ok but a lot of the food was fried. The Lunch and Dinner menu were quite strange. It was far too long with a more Chinese food than local African food. Therefore the food took about 1 hour + to come to our table most of the time.

Overall comparing this hotel to others in Freetown this is a very good hotel.

The hotel is nice but the staff need training in customer service.
The food is not so good. I ordered a beef curry and the beef was so tough and inedible.
It suppose to be a smoke free hotel but the Chinese smoke at the will in the hotel with total disregard for the other guest health.
The hotel is of course owned by a Chinese so I guess they get preferential treatment which is denied to others.

Hôtel bien pour séjours d’affaires

La communication a été assez difficile avant l'hôtel après la réservation. En particulier j'ai sollicité un service navette de l'aéroport à l'hôtel. En fait il n'y a pas vraiment de navette depuis ou vers l’aéroport. C’est possible jusqu’au Seacoach seulement.
La literie est très bien et la chambre spacieuse.
La restauration est bien même si c’est toujours la même chose tous les jours au petit déjeuner.
