Review:
Sarges Hotel is one of Gambia's largest, best built, and most efficient economy establishments with, from the outside, a deceptively uninspiring appearance.

Externally it is an immense, plain, 3 storeyed, courtyard styled building of 5 accommodation blocks based behind the Kairaba Hotel. It was originally named Tafbel Maisonettes after its first owners, Mustafa Njie and Charbel El-Hajj, who began construction in 1994 and formally inaugurated it in 1995 with 54 units.

At the front end of the street Sarges is line with a row of tourist orientated boutiques, a hair dresser, exchange bureau and an internet cafe. Opposite are numerous other amenities including a supermarket. As you enter through the leading drive it gives way to an unpretentious main reception lobby.

Then onto the main foyer, an Italianate Afro-palazzo that is splendid by local Gambian standards. Galleries, African murals and balconies adorn the 2 joined buildings that encase a grand solarium, mini-garden and modest sized swimming pool ringed with palm trees.

There is a nearby pool bar, a red-tiled restaurant and breakfast room. Above the guest lobby and the 1st and 2nd floor suites, an extra rooftop eatery is appealing with ceiling, sun-screens and lampshades in bamboo basso, which also wraps its columns.

In 1997, 44 units were added, with the principal suites, being refurbished in 2001 and stylish with a decor grey, cream and white; balcony or terrace, TV, air-conditioning or fan and shower.

A path behind Sarges Hotel leads indirectly onto Kololi beach.

• Half board and full board availability.

• During the winter holiday season room rates are valid from 15 October - 15 April but may be subject to change.

• Sea views are available from the east facing top floor hotel rooms in Kololi.
