A really peaceful and comfortable place. A bit of a hidden gem I would say since you cannot find it on google maps. Its a unique blend of apartment, hotel, and bed and breakfast. The place had real proper airconditioning that made sleeping very comfortable though it was extremely humid and hot outside. For someone from the Netherlands, thats quite important. The vibrant colors and well-maintained garden created a serene atmosphere. I also loved the large patio on the first floor that provided a peaceful spot with a beautiful view of tropical trees. Perfect to hangout a bit, maybe read or just chill. I took a morning coffee there overlooking everything. Very nice. Most importantly the staff is really kind and helpful. That added to the positive experience. So, overall, a delightful and recommended retreat for those seeking a calm and welcoming environment within walking distance of everything.

The room was very spacious and clean. So was the bathroom. We were provided with soft towels and crisp clean bedsheets. Pillows were very soft and comfortable. You have a little basic safe to out your valuables in the room. We felt our things were very secure. But, the absolute best was our kitchen chef; he was amazing and sooo lovely and friendly. The food he cooked for us was amazing. You can have breakfast and lunch/ dinner on site. All the residence staff was great and very helpful. We utterly enjoyed our stay in the Pelican Residence.

Lovely staff, always helpful and friendly. The cutest kittens! Nice dog too. Very relaxing vibe, such an oasis after the hassle of the tourist areas. Interesting to stay outside the main tourist area where local people live.

My stay at Faith and Grace Guest house in Gambia was truly exceptional. Security was super excellent, and I felt safe and well looked after throughout my visit. The highlight of my mornings was definitely the breakfast, the lady who prepares it is sent from heaven! Her food is absolutely delicious and made each day special. The place itself is quiet and relaxing, perfect for unwinding and enjoying a peaceful stay. The host goes above and beyond to ensure my comfort, they made sure my experience was 100% comfortable from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Gambia!

The staff is kind and helpful. You can have a direct, almost friendly - family relationship with them. I gladly used public transport because it is much cheaper, and they were always able to help me get from A to B. You can also exchange money, at a completely correct bank exchange rate. Although I did not cook for myself - there is an opportunity to do so in the shared kitchen. The small lap pool is also nice if you don't want to go to the beach.
