Guest reviews for The Jam Lodge
"The host and staff were very welcoming, accommodating and attentive to my needs."
"Holiday noise level"
"Everything was really nice, they even gave us another room because eventhough ours was good it missed something small. But they preferred to give us another room."

"Breakfast could have had more variety"
"Overall, it is a very cosy hotel / lodge with strong management that's nearly always available Nice bar, restaurant, and gym on site. In a good location with strong security"
"Nothin"
"Patricia (the Manager) was very helpful and service minded. Breakfast is included in the price, and the hotel has a laundry service. Tasty dishes from Sierra Leone are served, the selection is somewhat limited and must be ordered at least 1 hour in advance. The hotel location is OK, but things are a bit far. Freetown is a city where it is difficult to find a good location at a decent price. I think the beds were too soft, and soundproofing is not good in the older building, you hear traffic noise from the street and other hotel guests outside the room. There are pictures of a new building on Booking, but the building was not completed when I was there."
"The hotel helped me book a private car with a driver to Monrovia, Liberia. However, the company suddenly wanted to have gasolin money on top of the agreed price on 400 USD, and I was dumped off at the border (the agreement was that they would take me all the way to Monrovia), so the trip became 100 USD more than agreed (500 USD in total). However, there are also daily larger buses (SDS) from Freetown to Monrovia for 30 USD per person, which the hotel should be aware of (however, you cannot find information about this on "Rome2Rio"). I could have saved over $400 if I had known about it in advance. The overpricing also applied to local taxis / tricycles provided by the hotel, where you ended up paying the "tourist price"."
"Patricia and the team were fantastic, helping me organise the next steps of my trip!"

"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."
"Nothing."
"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."
