Reviews of Sarawally Guesthouse

Jim
The decoration at Sarawally Guesthouse was simply charming. The traditional Gambian artwork and colorful fabrics added a touch of culture and beauty to the hotel's general areas. It made me feel like I was truly immersed in the local culture. Additionally, the hotel was very accessible for senior people like me. There were no stairs to climb, and the pathways were wide and well-maintained, making it easy for me to navigate with my walking cane.
The children working there could benefit from some additional training in customer service.

I got great value for my money at Sarawally Guesthouse. The room was spacious, clean, and had a nice bath with plenty of hot water. The location was perfect, right next to Kairaba Avenue and within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The best part was the staff, especially Mariona, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Sarawally is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for a friendly and cozy accommodation experience.
The breakfast selection could be improved with more variety and options.

Close to GTSC bus station. Has a garden. Enjoyed watching a girl play with puppy and kitten. Staff at guesthouse were accommodating and wonderful. Convenient location near Kairaba Avenue with easy access to beach, ATM, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets.

Free parking means not having to worry about finding a spot for my fancy car. The buffet breakfast options were so extensive, it was like navigating through a culinary maze. The garden and terrace provided the perfect backdrop for sipping my posh afternoon tea.
Why bother with a garden and terrace when there's no place to take a fancy stroll?

I always return to this amazing guesthouse. The friendly staff helped me with dining options on my first stay. It has all I need: Wi-Fi, free parking, 24-hour reception, and a cozy bar. Perfect for a romantic getaway.

The guesthouse is conveniently located near the main road, making it easy to catch a taxi or minibus to explore the nearby tourist attractions. The GTSC bus station is also within walking distance, providing access to transportation for further travel. it is just a short distance from the beach, allowing guests to easily enjoy the sun and sand.
One minor downside is that there is no soap provided in the shower/toilet area.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The location, although a bit far from the beach, was surrounded by a great selection of restaurants.

The room upgrade was a pleasant surprise and the breakfast served was delicious. The location of the hotel was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. the staff were friendly and helpful during our stay.
The WiFi connection was quite poor and unreliable. Another downside was that there were intermittent power outages, which could be quite inconvenient.

I absolutely loved the charming decor of Sarawally Guesthouse! The vibrant colors, traditional artwork, and cozy furniture created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It made me feel right at home. The common areas were also designed with senior guests in mind, with comfortable seating and easy accessibility. It was perfect for relaxing and socializing with the other guests.
The only thing I would have asked for to make my vacation even better is if the children working there could have been a bit more attentive and helpful. As a senior traveler, it would have been nice to have some assistance with carrying luggage or getting information about the surrounding area.

The double room with a garden view at Sarawally Guesthouse was absolutely charming. The tile/marble floor gave it a rustic feel and the washing machine was a convenient addition for a budget traveller like me.
Personally, I found the wardrobe in the room a bit small. But hey, it's just my preference, and others might still find it sufficient.

The location was superb, with a room that had a bath and plenty of hot water. The room itself was large, quiet, and spotlessly clean. The highlight of my stay was the incredible hostess who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The guesthouse had a vibrant atmosphere with interesting people to meet. I would definitely stay here again.

The rooms at Sarawally Guesthouse were cozy and comfortable, with a homely vibe. I loved the garden view from the double room, it was so peaceful and refreshing. The tile/marble floors and washing machine were convenient for our family. The balcony in another double room was a nice bonus, perfect for enjoying the breeze. The wardrobe in every room helped keep things organized, and the bed linen and towels provided were clean and fresh. the rooms provided a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere for our stay.
Subjectively, I would have preferred if all the rooms had a balcony like one of the double rooms. But I understand that some guests may not prioritize having one.
