    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.

    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.

    I had the pleasure of staying at this charming guest house for a night, and I must say it was a delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. I had a restful night's sleep and awoke to a beautiful breakfast. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
