Sleeping
Not many tourists stay in Banjul, and the best hotels are along the coast.
Princess Diana Hotel
HOTEL
$
( 4228715; 30 Independence Dr; r D900)
This is slightly better than most Banjul dosshouses,
simply because it has doors that lock plus occasional live music in the bar.
Denton Bridge Resort
HOTEL
$$
( 7773777; s/d D1200/1500; )
Near Oyster Creek, this is a breezy, decent hotel with
large rooms. It also functions as a water-sports centre,
pirogue
(traditional canoe) landing
and excursion point.
Laico Atlantic Hotel
HOTEL
$$$
( 4228601;

;
Marina Pde; s/d from D2500/3500; )
This plush palace
has all the makings of a classy hotel (good restaurants, massage centre, nightclub), mod-
ern swanky rooms, plus, it's within walking distance of the heart of Banjul.
Eating
Banjul's restaurant scene is a culinary desert and many eateries roll down the blinds be-
fore the evening has even started. Around Albert Market you can find several cheap chop
shops where plates of rice and sauce start at about D40. The Laico Atlantic Hotel restaur-
ant offers international fare if you are looking for a more high-end experience.
