Seaview gardens hotel Stayed at this hotel with my fiancé and like most of the reviews there are positives and negatives and I concur with a lot that has already been said. This hotel is in a great location a short walk to the beach short walk to Senegambia the strip where everything happens, lots of local restaurants in the vicinity, nice and affordable the bank is just around the corner and there are lots of travel options as there are available taxes on offer all day. The hotel is very pretty garden wise, the grounds are nice with beautiful trees, plants and bushes. There is small pool at the back however can be unappealing before the pool boy comes to clean it. The pool furniture is minging. The staff are very friendly and welcoming apart from the reception staff who don’t seem to be that bothered if you have an issue with something. The room was spacious and we were impressed with the big four-poster bed with the mosquito net covering it we are very grateful to see that as we were worried about getting bitten. The sofa in the living room was filthy and in need of a scrub and there was a TV on the wall that didn’t work my fiancé reported it three times and three times reception said they were sending somebody up to fix it but they never did which makes me think they know that it doesn’t work and it will never work. The AC worked I was so glad about that but we could not put on the bedroom fan because it was clattering. The bathroom was very basic the shower did work and we did get hot water but not powerful. The Plumbing in the bathroom needs sorting out as the sink was blocked one time I don’t know what was going on but someone’s lighter came up through the sinkhole. Someone came to unblock the drain but just fixed it so the water leaked onto the floor instead. (nice trick). Breakfast is very limited and the same thing everyday. No herbal teas no alternative options for people with intolerances such as gluten-free bread the breakfast consisted of porridge, tiny pancakes, melon everyday, beans everyday and chopped salad everyday and noodles. However there is a very nice Lady that will do you an egg or omelette on the grill which was tasty and so I had that everyday for two weeks because there was nothing else I can eat. The juice is flavoured water with loads of sugar (avoid). In terms of the noise people speak about yes there is a location nearby where the music will be pumping loud deep into the morning and I mean loud. And there is a lot of noise from the generators. The Wi-Fi keeps cutting out and also the electricity kept cutting out so if you rely on the Internet for your business then you will not be happy. There are a fair few older men with local women and visa versa staying at the hotel but that is not my business. However, I enjoyed my stay there because of the friendly atmosphere and the relaxed atmosphere. I did see a big rat hanging around which put me off as I can’t stand them and it’s hard to enjoy your food outside when you have two cats at your feet staring at you waiting to be fed that can be annoying. Brilliant hardworking staff make the hotel likeable - Fatu, Alex, Jenny, Lamin, and athe egg lady.

Great location. Close to palma rima & sennegambia. Atmosphere was a little odd with the people who worked there, but overall it was OK. Room was basic but comfortable. Bathroom was OK, good shower. Comfy bed. AC very good value very good. Cleaned daily. Very very noisy when there is a party going on. Service is fairly poor. No microwave. No fridge for 5 out of 7 nights. On a whole I would come back to this hotel. In fact I am going back for 2 weeks so I will see you soon. l
