The Kairaba Beach Hotel

Kairaba hotel is 25 minutes from Banjul airport. The hotel is in urgent need of a major refurbishment throughout the whole hotel. On the plus side, the hotel is next to all the restaurants and nightlife and is directly onto the beach. Once it gets a refurbishment and improves the range of breakfast items, the hotel should be a market leader.

Thank you for the amazing stay and the hotel associates' cooperation, an amazing local variety of breakfast meals, especially local juice. Especial thanks to the reception and F&B team. The room is old but the cleaning is not bad The Hotel beach and facilities were totally amazing

Sadly this place has gone downhill badly since my last stay 4 years ago. Staff service is poor, Internet is hopeless, laundry service terrible (missing clothes and received other people's), room service non existent, phones don't work, pool service is diabolical. I honestly can't say anything good about the place. Stay somewhere else where your dalasi and you are welcome.

We have stayed at The Kairaba Beach Hotel for many years. We have seen it at it's best and now seen it at it's worst. Covid has a lot to answer for. It is so sad to see this Grand hotel so empty this year. Our first thought was to move hotels, but we have made many friends here at the hotel and feel at home here when we arrive. We decided to stay and even though the hotel is practically empty and working on a skeleton staff we felt obliged to stay and support. As usual the staff can't do enough for us. The management decided to allow local people to use the pool at a fee, and this has been taken up by them especially on the weekend. It gets very busy with lots of families n children most of whom can't swim. Which in turn is hard for the one pool attendent to manage as there can be up to 30 to 40 people in the pool. I understand that the management needs to bring in revenue but an extra pool attendent should be employed at the weekend. We need Whalley back at the pool❤️❤️ Breakfast is poor n not what we are used to, but on saying that we haven't gone hungry, it is once again so sad to see so few people in the hotel thus not a great selection and no buzz from it at breakfast from not being busy with guests. On the up side if we request something it is there the next day. On the whole yes it is quiet, we are under the impression that they no longer have a contract with Tui at the moment n can only be found on Gambia Experience which is expensive for the quality of the hotel at the moment. Personally I think that the hotel wasn't ready to accept guest in time for the winter holidays and with this, and what seems poor management from an higher level this once booming grand hotel has slipped into a sorry state. Hopefully with the support of regular guests that still belive in her and a higher better management plan the Grand old lady will get back to how she use to be once again in this fantastic location. We will always support as long as we are able thank you to all the stay you are doing an amazing job under the circumstances ❤️❤️
