Advantages: Good swimming pool, rooms very clean, air conditioning Disadvantages: Location, reception staff, hidden costs.
The Corinthia Atlantic Hotel in Banjul is advertised as a four star hotel but I would not rate it at above 3 stars.
It is located right on the beach as many of the hotels are in Gambia - be aware that this is a man made beach that will apparently disappear into the sea in the next 20 years unless they build a new one!
The hotel has over 200 rooms and 4 suites so I can imagine that it can get very busy in the peak season months. We visited in August ... ...arrival bookings go to the Corinthia Atlantic so there is no chance that you will stay at the better located and much nicer Ngala Lodge or Senegambia Hotel.
The rooms in Corinthia are clean - the chamber maids do an amazing job - the room will always be spotless when you return to it. Each room has a balcony and the door to it has a mosquito net so that you can leave the door open if it is too hot - unfortunately many of the mosquito nets have holes ...

Everywhere was dark from too small energy saving light ... ...are not great at tiling and grouting.
However, having said that, the overall atmosphere at the hotel was friendly and easygoing, it was spotlessly clean, and after a day we never noticed any of it again. The staff was so extremely friendly and smiling and did everything possible to help us with anything. The buffet restaurant food for both breakfast and dinner was varied, plentiful and well made. At the beach bar however, even the same dish varied ...
