Hedjazi Hotel

Sierra Leone


Cheap and cheerful is the name of the game at this centrally located budget hotel. Basic rooms have air-con and running water, and there's a guest lounge and wi-fi. As with the neighbouring Sierra International Hotel, this place can get pretty noisy, so ask for a room that faces away from the street.
