The kimbima hotel may be basic but it is one of the nice hotels in Freetown. That is the reason I stay here often. You can stay comfortably without any outside disturbances or worries regarding your safety. It is a calm and quiet place where you can relax well. The view of the sea is great from this hotel.

Apparently there is a small building at this site still offering accommodation whilst restoration is being performed. It is on the water front, and is overlooked by Bitumani. The road to Kimbima, like most roads, is VERY BAD.

Rubble road for the last quarter mile to the hotel, but very nice views over the sea when you get there. Building standard is a bit dodgey - I would be a bit nervous to sit out on the concrete balcony next to my room. Air Con, dropping off the wall in my room and was noisy, but it did... More

It is difficult to review a hotel in Sierra Leone without first putting it in the context of the country - the poorest by some measures on this planet. Use this as a starting point and our stay wasn't at all bad - indeed set against my expectations it was very good. Place in the context of $120 a night... More

I didn't know what to expect from the Kimbima (or from Freetown) and was pleasantly surprised by the nice ocean views, warm and helpful staff and the well-functioning internet. I enjoyed eating in the restaurant as it was outdoors and had great views and a nice breeze. I asked the manager, Tina, to send someone to meet me at the... More

Kimbima was my third hotel in Freetown and it was the best. The staff were great so ask for "chairman". The food was good also and always available. I did have a problem with the hot water but it did not matter much. I liked the proximity to Lumley Beach whcih you must visit (ignore the trash) and swim

I visited Sierra Leone in in March and found the hotel very nice, safe, and the people very friendly. The rooms were clean and I enjoyed great ocean views. The food was good and the wait staff was tops. When I travel to Sierra Leone again I would not think of any other place to stay.
