Bad experience

Unfortunately, Pelican Residence did not live up to my expectations. I was disappointed from the moment I arrived. I could have overlooked the uncomfortable bed and the fact that the air conditioning was not working, but the main issue that made me leave and cancel my stay was the internet connection. The Wi-Fi was extremely weak and, in my room, there was practically no internet connection at all. As a journalist, a reliable internet connection is not a luxury for me — it is as essential as oxygen. The receptionist personally checked and confirmed that there was no internet in the room. She asked me to stay for the night, hoping that the problem could be fixed later, but I did not feel confident that the issue would actually be resolved. Since having a reliable internet connection was essential for my work, I decided not to take the risk and left the property. I eventually booked another accommodation through Booking.com. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet the standard I expected.

This is an amazing place. An oasis of peace in a quiet area close to everything you want to see in and around Banjul. The bed was extremely comfortable and the staff really made us feel at home here. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay here again next time we visit Gambia.

One of the best stays of my holiday

Das hat dem Gast gefallen

I loved everything about this place. The room was sparkling clean and bright and there were a lot of little extras that make a difference - a small sitting area, bedside lamps, bright overhead light. There was a nice communal inside sitting area and a great balcony, also a shared microwave and kitchen sink. The staff was exceptionally friendly and we had a great meal at the restaurant. The location is great - very central. Several supermarkets, fruit sellers and restaurants within easy walking distance. Nice neighbour hood (back streets) and lot of public transport that easily connects you to all areas.

Das könnte besser sein

Nothing really. It really is an excellent, well run place. My only criticism is that the pictures don't refelct the exact room that you may get - which doesn;t really matter as the place is no nice anyway!

betaalbaar, goed eten, vriendelijke staf, mogelijkheid tot parkeren, maar verder viel het tegen

Das hat dem Gast gefallen

Het is mogelijk om tegen betaling een ontbijt, lunch of warme maaltijd te gebruiken, alleen het menu is beperkt. Het eten is wel van goede kwaliteit!

Das könnte besser sein

Het bed was slechts 190 cm lang terwijl ik 200 cm lang ben, de badkamer vloer was niet echt schoon, het douchegordijn hangt te hoog, waardoor er water blijft staan voor de wasbak en toilet. De kamer was erg gehorig, links van de kamer was het restaurant waar je elk gesprek kon volgen en rechts was er een algemeen balkon waar mensen nog even gezellig gingen zitten napraten....en mij dus wakker hielden.
