Good location, easy to find - there is a ventilator in the room, and an AC is working if there is electricity. Some of the staff is working there.

“Fantastic value hostel! 😎”
This is a great hostel, and the value-for-money was amazing. It’s a short walk from the SeaCoach ferry, and has a lovely balcony with a nice view of the sea. The dorm had a pedestal fan and air-conditioning, and the shower was good. Teo and the staff were great, and the area was lovely. A great place to stay in Freetown 😁

“Nice stay in a nice town.”
Run by a friendly British guy named Guy, this place feels like home—and honestly, there’s just no competition in town.

“Enjoyed a lot this amazing place”
I enjoyed a lot my stay at the hostel: amazing family atmosphere, staff, guests, environment. Booked 1 night, stayed 4. Comfortable bed, big room, air conditioning, power generator in case of city electricity black out, WiFi, great kitchen, towel, toilet paper, ... everything I would need. Shower, running water. Big common areas to connect with guests and staff. Helpful useful info from Guy, the owner, the staff, the other guests. Gorgeous view from the terrace. Close to shops and beaches.

“Excellent HOSTEL.”
Guy and Theo will give you a warm welcome. The hostel is only a 10 minute walk from the seacoach terminal, has excellent A/C and is kept very clean. There are quite a few places to eat locally and at a mere 10usd per night is very reasonable indeed. I'll definitely be back to continue my West African trip and enjoy the wonderful view from the terrace again!

“Great little hostel in heart of Freetown, Wonderful staff, good location. Nice vive, cheap. Reomend”
The only real hostel in Freetown, in a former house, on the first floor, it's in a good location in Freetown's Aberdeen area. About a kilometre walk from Lumgy Beach, near Aberdeen Roundabout and almost next to St. Matthew's Church, it's in a good location. Bars, restaurants, a market, shops are nearby and it's a 10-15 minute taxi ride from Government Warf for ferries to/from the airport. The roads around the hostel are a little rough, but the area is full of character. The small hostel has 1 dorm room with 4 wooden bunkbeds and a bathroom inside the room. Shower, sink and toilet. Bed sheets and a pillow is provided. A fan in the room. Multiple plug sockets in room. Also several private rooms. Dorm bed is US$10 per night. Breakfast is extra. Eggs, bread, tea/coffee. Fantastic knowledgeable, friendly owner and great staff. The owner is from the UK. The staff are local, speak English, friendly, kind and helpful. Free, reasonablly good speed WiFi throughout the hostel. A terrace with tables and chairs, even a couple of comfy chairs. Plantsonterrace. Good, gentle atmosphere. ATM machines about a 10/15 minute walk or take a shared taxi (Tuk-Tuk). I'd definitely stay here again.

“Recommended stay in Aberdeen”
The staff is amazing, you'll end up with permanent new friends, and you'll meet a lot of expats and local people, the view is nice from the balcony, and the rooms are spacious, very good value for money.

“Excellent Value.”
Exceptional value for money. The host was extremely welcoming and as a backpacker himself was aware of what backpackers want, including usb ports for charging phones! Meals could be made to order by the friendly staff. The hostel had a sea view and was 10 minutes from the ferry terminal. The easiest way to find it is by going down Cromwell Road.
