The Bintumani is an excellent hotel to stay in if you're comfortable with paying extra for the wonderful amenities it offers while you're in Freetown. The luxurious quarters, super friendly and attentive staff, pool and views of the sea and magnificent sunsets from the hotel make it the optimal place to work in peace and or relax after a hard day's work in the busy city. It's set down on the peninsula, so removed from the busy city centre (which is easily and cheaply accessible by regular taxi or private car in about 20 minutes). The electricity tends to go off quite often, but they tend to turn the generators on quickly when that happens. There is one wing of the hotel that has a prevalence of mould (during the rainy season, when I was there, this is common in a lot of hotels), but you need only to ask for a room that is clear of that and you will be fine. Due to the nature of its owners and majority of their guests, the menu caters to the Chinese palate; however, there are some non-Chinese food options if you ask for them. Overall the food is very good, albeit much more expensive than what you will find elsewhere in Freetown. After all, with the Bintumani, it's all about location. Overall, I would rate it very good for the quality and comfort of the stay.
