Pearson Street

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great stay at Pearson Street in Freetown, Sierra Leone. A special thank you to the manager, Teo, whose excellent leadership and dedication are clearly reflected in the high standards of the property. I would also like to thank Kenni and Jenni for their kindness, professionalism, and warm hospitality. They were always friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. The property was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained. It also offers excellent value for money—the prices are very reasonable for the quality of service provided. Customer satisfaction is clearly a priority here. I truly believe that no hard work should ever go unrecognized, and Teo and her team deserve every bit of appreciation for their dedication. I highly recommend Pearson Street to anyone visiting Freetown. Thank you again, Teo, Kenni, and Jenni. I look forward to staying here again.

I booked a single bunk in a 4-bed room. I had the room all to myself as I was the only guest. It was clean and basic. It had good water flow in bathroom. Comfortable mattress and pillow. Had Strong wifi. Caretaker was helpful.

Very dark alleyways to the house if you are walking at night. There might be some stray dogs so be wary. After going out to get dinner, the metal door/gate that leads up to the rooms is difficult to open with the key provided—it is better to ask caretaker to show you how to open the door before leaving the house so as not to have trouble opening it like i did. It took me 15 mins trying to figure out how to open it at 11:00pm. A lady neighbor helped me by yelling out the caretaker’s name but to no avail as he was probably already sleeping. So also good idea to get his number just in case. AC didn’t work even after turning on switch so I used just fan, and it was very humid. Strange because in booking dot com app, the place was fully booked but in reality, I was the only guest that day. I could have booked for me and my friend in the same place.

The beds were clean and had mosquito nets. The room was spacious with only 4 beds. There's an AC in the room and 2 fans. The location is good; it's like a village on the western side of the city. It is safe even walking at night. There are small shops nearby. You can buy basic stuff and cook in the fully equipped kitchen. The beaches are 15-20 minutes walking or 5 min by tuktuk. The fast ferry to the airport is just 10 min walking distance. The staff were ok and helpful. The view from the balcony is great. It's the cheapest place in town. In fact it's the only hostel in Freetown on Booking.com. They have a generator in case of power cuts. The wifi is fast.

The toilet needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance. There's no hot water and the water pressure is weak. The generator is right under the dorm window; very loud. But still; you get what you pay for. A basic hotel in the area is 3-4 times more expensive.

It’s a very cozy and safe place to relax after hectic Freetown. They have a great terrace area with a hammock!

They use a generator when the power cuts, that is set on a sort of alarm which turns off at 3am making it impossible to have a good rest as the fans obviously turns off when there’s no power. The WiFi doesn’t work when the power is off which is constantly. This is a Freetown problem but I believe it could be solved better in terms of the generator. Would be nice if they sold water or breakfast as they have staff that works there.
