Regal Apartments

I have always enjoyed my time at the Regal Apartments Gambia. However they have definitely upped their game this year. The staff are friendly, take care of all your needs and questions. The 24 hours CT cameras and 24 hour security is brilliant for a single lone female traveller. I even had my laundry hand finished to a high standard at a very reasonable price. The location is ideal. Very close to Senigambia strip and Palma Rima strip where there is an abundance of fab bars and restaurants plus not forgetting supermarkets and Taxis are outside the Regal. Well done Regal management and staff. Thank you for a most wonderful time. Elaine

We had some issues here. I will briefly write about two of them. There are no washing machines in the apartment or in a common area. I was initially told that laundry is "free". "We don't charge you for laundry, you just pay a little for detergent to the cleaning lady". Later I found that nothing could be further from the truth. I was told that it was a "miscommunication". There is no set price. You will have to negotiate with the cleaning lady. I suppose the price will be around whatever she is getting from other tenants. Most people would like their unit to be cleaned daily, and that's why most establishments automatically clean your apartment unless you put up a "do not disturb sign". Here, you will have to look for and directly speak with the cleaning lady assigned to your room, to let her know that you would like your room cleaned. She may or may not end up cleaning the apartment. If she doesn't, she will have some excuse as to why it was not done. This establishment did not meet our expectation. Please stay safe during your travels and enjoy Gambia.
