The property suffers from being too close to the beach. The beach is dirty, filthy, smelly and and full of waste. The stench can be smelled in the rooms. The second issue with this hotel is that it-s in desperate need of a renovation. doors not working, woodworks frames are chipped and look like about to fall of, floors looks tired, paintings looks ordinary and sorry. The 3rd issue is staff moral, apart from one or two staffs that were helpful, the rest especially during morning breakfast in the restaurants looks completely uninterested in their job or customers, they just ignore you and play on their phone while you have to approach and ask them for the basics. Housekeeping knocks on your room door at 8am while you're fast asleep and keep knocking until you wakeup and tell them to come back later. basic "Do Not Disburb" notice cards is not available in the room to allow you put on the external of the door to prevent this from happening. If you order room service from the room, the restaurant downstairs will respond but their menu is rubbish. To have food from the top (5th) floor restaurant, you have to go upstairs, make the order physically then return to your room. when they bring it to your room it's the food tray will travel on someone's shoulder "openned" all the way. No matter how much I complain that it's not hygienic the bring food to my food without any protective covering on the tray, the staff just look at me as if I'm talking gibberish, walk away. A nightmare

Loved the location, and great staff. A nice boutique hotel, but not the right place if you're looking for a quiet stay.

Not clean. Check in agent on day 1 was very unpleasant. Changed rooms multiple times and the last one was not clean. Sheets were stained, towels were stained. Roaches. Would not recommend. Nice facility but terrible run down.

The Manager’s customer service was terrible - during check - in at hotel, I requested for a sea view room, receptionist nicely informed me that rooms will be available by the 2nd day but I need to talk to the manager. Unfortunately, when I spoke with the manager he said because I booked with Expedia it won’t be possible. I told him that I am only requesting for a sea view and if it needs any additional payment as upgrade then I can pay. He walked away without responding which I think was rude. As manager I was expecting much from him in terms of customer service.

Lost power many time, we were stuck in the elevator because of it. Otherwise a good stay

Property was not well kept, I had to move to three different rooms before I settled to the third room. Stayed at this property for 9 days and half of those days, elevator was not working. I was on the 4th floor with bad knees so you can imagine. The shower and sink water was dirty (red coloration and taste like acid). Bathroom and room smells terribly. Staffs at the front desk and restaurant were very nice and accommodating but the facility service and cleanliness is poor.

Customer service was terrible and slow. Receptionists were extremely rude and housekeeping often forgot towels in the room, which would take 7 or 8 trips and multiple hours to the receptionist to get. Breakfast is poor quality; some of the worst coffee I’ve ever had and pastries were often stale. Rooms are poor quality, stained towels and sheets, I had a broken shower that it took two days to fix, again because of an unresponsive reception. For the amount they charge, it’s extremely poor value. Stay somewhere else.

I came to this hotel hoping to get a view of the beach, upon arrival, I was told that the room that I booked was not a sea view room. I will be getting a view of the pool. I asked if I can change that, I was told the hotel was booked to capacity. The room was not ready when I arrived, I had to wait 40 mins in the lobby before they could give me a room that I reserved. I was not impressed by the look of the room, it looks old inside and the bathroom was dull, more bright lights would be better. For the amount of money that I payed, I expected more. To make matters worst, the WiFi is horrible. My data was faster than their WiFi. When I called to complain, I was told they are working on it and the problem would be resolved soon. The next morning, still the same issue.

Experience was great! I accidentally booked a room for a twin bed but they kindly upgraded me to a sea view suite with no additional cost. This is my go-to hotel in Lumely Beach area. This was my third stay at Sierra Palms and each time I am pleased with the experience. Great service also.

The team where very nice and the manager Ahmed was very helpful. The place is clean and will surely recommend this place.

Not a resort hotel. This is a one star hotel. Very run down in the back end but put up a flashy facade up front. Bed is unstable and breaks down frequently. Asked to change room and same happens. The bathrooms are gross and dilapidated
Just a flimsy shower curtain with soap scum and no tub. Stand only. The bathroom door very squeaky and noisy will wake partner up at night. Asked for maintenance to apply grease but fell n deaf ears. It’s a glorified bed and breakfast and very overpriced. Have stayed in 3 other hotels in Freetown and this is the worst. Lest I forget very substandard tv and internet and of course no alcohol served in this hotel.

Shareif is by far the best manager in Freetown. The location of the hotel is definitely for tourists as it is close to majority of the things we would like to see. The night life around the hotel is awesome and it is very calm during the day as well. The A/C is very nice. The employees are extremely friendly with great attitude. As an American, this hotel lived up to my expectations and then some. I love it
2.5
This is by far the best hotel to stay at in Freetown because the location is outstanding and the customer services are out of this world. The hotel is close to everything a tourist is interested in seeing. I showed up early due to an error on my part and the manager upgraded my room and made sure I didn’t suffer because of the error. The employees are extremely friendly and have great attitude. I will definitely be staying at Sierra Palms again.

Very helpful management, my luggage was delayed and the manager gave me one of his own shirts so I could go to my meeting. Unfortunately the swimming pool and beach bar was not quite ready during my stay but it looks like it will be great when finished.

This was the worst experience ever.. The staff were professional but the premises was run down. Their toilet seats were broken and the view was unpleasant as it faced a construction site with horrible red sands

Its about African standard but I want to say to owner: I fully understand its very hard to operate / provide hotel services in Africa but please continue as well as work on further improvements. Hope to visit you soon

Comfortable room with great balcony and views. Good buffet breakfast and efficient room service. If you have any problems they will make sure you are looked after.

I did not like the menu selection. Did not like when owners would open the door between the restaurant and patio and leave the open. I don't like eating with an abundance of flies. I did not like the food that was in warming trays doing breakfast was not warm.

Beautiful views of the sea. Simply breathtaking. Let down was the breakfast. I would choose again based on the room and views. Great location. Staff in restaurant need more training in hospitality. One was very unwelcoming, a turn off.

Nice hotel - pleasant staff. The pizza was fantastic.
1.0
The hotel was a nice one. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Management is also very helpful. My general experience was good but there weer some minor down sides.
1. Restaurant is small and not the typical restaurant you expect to find in a 3 or 4 star hotel. Menu was good with the exception of breakfast options which were not satisfactory. Be warned that there is no buffet breakfast or buffet lunch (if you are used to that).
2. Hotel does not serve alcohol due to the religion of the owners so if you are used to having your glass of wine or pint of beer then be advised that you wont get that at Sierra Palms. There is however a smaller hotel/restaurant next door where you can get alcohol. Its just a 30 second walk from the entrance of Sierra Palms
3. Limited TV channels which were mostly in arabic. I could not get my usual BBC and CNN news. Had to rely on my ipad for entertainment
The upside is that
1. The hotel faces the beach and its literally a 15 minute ride to the city center.
2. They offer pick up services once you cross the sea to the capital. You can also arrange for a meet and greet at the airport.
3. There is still some work going on and there are plans to have a gym on the premises so gym freaks like myself can have a good workout while on holiday.
