    Completely loved it here. You get the view of the Atlantic from your room. Ask for the 2nd floor rooms facing the Atlantic. Though its along a busy path with noise from Vehicles and bikes, its a good place to relax and enjoy. The bar and restaurant is just across the road from the rooms where they serve very nice meals.

    Visited the restaurant 3 times. The pizzas are not too bad neither is the beef shawama. Very disappointed in the chicken shawama as it had a very few pieces of chicken and filled out with loads of fries. Would have loved for it to have contained more pieces of chicken and some salad 🥗. I also think the prices are way too high for the food that is served. The staff try their best. Tommy (a server) was very polite and good at his job. Very respectable young man.

    Nice outdoor environment close to the beach. Food was well spiced and tasty. Just as in most places, you might need to book ahead as average time of service is between 30 - 40 minutes. Also has a wide range of drink options. In terms of price, I think it falls within the range of such establishments in Freetown. You can either pay by cash or card but card payments attract a 3% charge.

    A lot of stuff in the rooms is broken or just extremely heavily used. I also got a smoking room which smelled extremely horrible Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Bed linen seem to be unchanged. AC does run but isn’t very powerful so the cooling effect is minimal. It’s also kissing mosquito nets and/or any place to hang your own. Wifi doesn’t work in all rooms and is generally super slow Horrible value for the price of 1900le per night (~95$)

    Ate dinner at the restaurant on the beach. Excellent food, friendly and personal service, and there's no better view of the sunset! I had the lobster in coconut cream sauce, and it was decadently delicious!

    Our experience at the Roy Hotel was horrendous. This hotel should really be considered a motel, at best. The place is extremely dated and lacks the amenities commanded for the location. Upon arrival we had to be moved three times because the AC units do not work at the optimal level. The only positive individual at this hotel was a front desk attendant named Augustine. She really tried her best to find us a room that was acceptable. After a few hours, we ultimately did not end up staying the night - seeing a small lizard walking on the interior wall was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was almost 1am when we left and went to another hotel. Their general lack of care and service coupled with very outdated rooms makes this place an international traveller's worst nightmare. I would not recommend this place.

    (Translated by Google) Hotem less than expected !!! Beautiful beach in front just across the main lane the hotel also has a restaurant that runs on the beach sand !! With a varied menu with lunch and quick snack !! What a lot ruin and the service !! Nai employees understand nothing and care exchange what you ask I left a tip !! Always check what was noted in the command of the order not to be surprised !! Another tip is the pepper that is part of the spice of everything !!! (Original) Hotem menos que a espectativa !!! Praia bonita na frente so atravessar a pista principal o hotel tem tambem um restaurante que funciona na areia da praia !! Com um cardapio variado com almoco e lanche rapido !! O que e muito ruin e o atendimento !! Funcionarios nai intendem nada e cuidado trocam o que vc pede deixi uma dica !! Sempre confire o que foi anotado na comanda do pedido para nao ter surpresa !! Outra dica e a pimenta que faz parte do tempero de tudo !!!

    It’s a great place and the staff are lovely. But the food is expensive and the quality is just not great. $14 dollars for a pizza !!! When you can get hand made on the same beech for $10.

    Rudely ejected by waiter from the dinner patch overhead for ordering drinks before food, because according to him, management said they should take orders for dinner first before drinks.. Who does that?

    There service is very bed, i went there no one came to take order upto 30 min and after 30 min they took order but not told chef to prepare. I asked 3 times where is my food they lies is under process but after 1.30 min i asked loudly then they told me they are not preparing my food. I went to manager but no one know what is going Seriously waste of respect and time and money to go there.

    Good place to eat seafood (the grilled lobster is very good) sides portions are quite small, but other than that, it is worth the price. The grilled Chicken and the chicken wigs are good too.

  • 4/5 Björn S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This review refers exclusively to the bar, I can not say anything about the hotel. The bar is newly renovated and currently just a roof terrace is being built (09/2019). The service is very friendly and the food good. There are dishes of different cuisines (Lebanon, Sierra Leone, international). The service is friendly and relatively good for local conditions. The view, located directly on the beach is of course priceless. (Original) Diese Bewertung bezieht sich ausschließlich auf die Bar, zum Hotel kann ich nichts sagen. Die Bar ist frisch renoviert und aktuell wird gerade noch ein Dachterrasse gebaut (09/2019). Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und das Essen gut. Es gibt Gerichte verschiedener Küchen (Libanon, Sierra Leone, international). Die Bedienung ist freundlich und relativ gut für lokale Verhältnisse. Die Aussicht, direkt am Strand gelegen ist natürlich unbezahlbar.

  • 1/5 Kenema Queen s. 4 years ago on Google
    For a drink it’s ok, but don’t try to have food here you will be very disappointed. First of all it is hugely overpriced! I tried a few dishes here- pizza is bad, and dessert too! Do yourself a favour drive 800 yards down to Gigibonter. Crab salad is served with crab sticks - it is not stated on the menus and the manager did not border to come when we called for him. Also we asked the dressing on the side- they mixed it all over and no apologies no explanation no solution. In the end we also were charged for a starter as for a main and had to ask to amend that. Chinese down the road and Papaya by family kingdom are all good and Lagoonda is serving real crab and the best sushi!!!

    It is friendly and warm. Seaview, one minute walk to the beach.

  • 3/5 Timothee F. 4 years ago on Google
    Ate at the restaurant on a Monday night. Setting is very cool overlooking the ocean. Waiters were quite attentive. Drinks were good (beer nice and cold). Lebanese appetizers were awesome, although they served the hummus with rubbery cold pita. The problem was the food itself. Price of most entrees was around 140K. I ordered barracuda, expecting fresh fish. What they served was small pieces of over cooked pre-frozen fish. Fries were OK. We tried some shawarma which was pretty good. Overall I would say it was a good place for drinks in a cool location but anything other than Lebanese specialties was not worth the price.

  • 4/5 Marissa W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great bar atmosphere good for hanging out and talking, great Moscow Mule that is only available when one particular bartender is there (hasn't been there in the past 3 visits), advise against getting the food. The cheese burger was a mess and the other snacks were middling.

  • 2/5 Julián M. 5 years ago on Google
    The food is good but after the service we wanted some more food, after wating 30 mins and asking 4 different workers nobody helped us with the order so we decided to leave.

  • 3/5 IBe K. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful setting! But my son took a bite out of his burger and couldnt swallow it. "It taste different" from his usual American ones. Lol! But he was right. When I tasted it there was an under taste to the meat I didnt like either. However, he ate all his fries and asked for more! The Lebanese coffee was great. And so was the hookah. But I dont understand why American prices in Sierra Leone. A can of Fanta for nearly $2 is a bit excessive, especially in a country like Sierra Leone.

    Roy Restaurant is a place that has been on my radar as one of the best food spots in Sierra Leone, but my experience was the complete opposite the only good thing I could complement about this place is their customer service our waitress was good and did her job superbly. There are many things wrong with Roy Restaurant, firstly our pizza that we ordered was utterly trash whoever made that pizza should be fired effectively immediately for even serving people that thing, it wasn’t worth a single Leone, and this was just the beginning of my forgettable experience, secondly the Hamburger was something that they made attractive but the taste tells a different story, would recommend if they food was better. Please improve the food 👍.
