A really peaceful and comfortable place. A bit of a hidden gem I would say since you cannot find it on google maps. Its a unique blend of apartment, hotel, and bed and breakfast. The place had real proper airconditioning that made sleeping very comfortable though it was extremely humid and hot outside. For someone from the Netherlands, thats quite important. The vibrant colors and well-maintained garden created a serene atmosphere. I also loved the large patio on the first floor that provided a peaceful spot with a beautiful view of tropical trees. Perfect to hangout a bit, maybe read or just chill. I took a morning coffee there overlooking everything. Very nice. Most importantly the staff is really kind and helpful. That added to the positive experience. So, overall, a delightful and recommended retreat for those seeking a calm and welcoming environment within walking distance of everything.

The room was very spacious and clean. So was the bathroom. We were provided with soft towels and crisp clean bedsheets. Pillows were very soft and comfortable. You have a little basic safe to out your valuables in the room. We felt our things were very secure. But, the absolute best was our kitchen chef; he was amazing and sooo lovely and friendly. The food he cooked for us was amazing. You can have breakfast and lunch/ dinner on site. All the residence staff was great and very helpful. We utterly enjoyed our stay in the Pelican Residence.

Buffet and à la carte breakfast options with warm dishes, fresh pastries and champagne are available every morning at the guest house. A bar can be found on-site.

This establishment goes beyond being just an apartment; it feels like a true home away from home. The staff doesn't just see you as a customer but as a valued guest. Mica, in particular, goes above and beyond to assist whenever needed. Both the Managing Director and the entire staff are genuinely wonderful and incredibly accommodating. My stay at Mica was nothing short of fantastic, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Banjul, Gambia.

Great place in every sense: location (walking distance from Senegambia), clean, comfortable, etc. Demba makes you feel like at home, and will do anything in his hand to accommodate your needs. The pool is a great extra to refresh. I am just back for the second time after a trip to Gambia river Natural Park, had no doubt on coming back again. Best quality/price you will have in the area.

    A good option close to Kairaba Avenue, where there are lots of shared taxis and minibuses to get around. Not far from Bakau and Kotu. Staff were very friendly and nice, decent breakfast. Quiet residential area, nicely kept house.

    The guesthouse is ideally located in Banjul if you need to get a couple of things done. Kairaba Avenue is quite busy. The staff is very helpful, accommodating, and friendly.

    The owner was charming and available. She found yogurt for my breakfast after I asked, and would not accept payment. She gave me her WhatsApp, which helped a lot to smooth over the challenges of language with staff. It is a good location, beautiful courtyard, nice murals on the walls.
