Mamba Point Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a seaside 4-star on Cape Road with a pool, a gym and well-reviewed staff for the lowest price in our Freetown sample. Just know that budget here still means about €192 a night, and the city centre sights are far.

Mamba Point Hotel is our Budget pick in Freetown, but do not read that as cheap. Freetown prices in our sample were high across the board, and this was simply the lowest eligible rate after reserving the upscale slot.
It suits travellers who want a full-service 4-star by the sea: a pool, a gym, a restaurant, a garden, family rooms, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are all listed. Guests also mention easy access to boat transfers, which helps if you are arriving that way.
Skip it if you need to be near the city centre on foot, or if a wide breakfast spread matters to you. Some guests found the breakfast selection basic.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Cape Road. Guests rate the location 9.1 and describe a seaside setting with scenic views.
The landmarks in our data are all far. St. George's Cathedral, Freetown and the Sierra Leone National Museum are each about 6 km away, around 75 minutes on foot. Freetown Central Mosque is about 6.3 km, around 79 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so real routes may be longer. Plan on a taxi or public transport for any trip into the centre.
Free parking is listed if you have a car or driver.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 from 163 reviews. It shared second place on review score among the 4 eligible properties we compared, behind only our Luxury pick.
Guests like a friendly, polite and professional team that deals with concerns quickly, plus the seaside position and the boat access. On breakfast, opinions split: there is variety and a sea view, but some call the choice basic.
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Price and how it compares with our other Freetown picks
Our reference price was €191.94 per night, about €384 for two nights. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. It is not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €204.81, so this is only 6% below. Our Best Value pick, Home Suites Boutique Hotel Freetown, was €209.39 with an 8.4. Our Luxury pick, The Lead Hotel, was €274.82 with a 9.6.
In plain terms, Mamba Point Hotel is cheaper than the Best Value pick and scores higher. The Lead Hotel costs about €83 more a night but has a clearly higher score. A continental breakfast is listed; inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared only 4 eligible hotels in Freetown, so the choice was narrow. Mamba Point Hotel had the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale slot was set aside, and its 8.8 from 163 reviews is a strong result for that position.
Before you book
Ask whether breakfast is included. Check opening times and any fees for the pool and gym, which were not verified. Confirm cancellation terms.
If you arrive by boat, ask the hotel how transfers work. For the city centre, sort out a taxi or driver ahead of time.
