Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Sunu hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (4th or above) to minimize street noise from the busy Brikama roads. Avoid rooms near the lift, as the Sunu hotel has a compact floor plan and the lift may be situated in a central location, potentially causing noise disruption.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the lift or service entrance may experience noise from guests and staff. Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be more prone to street noise and potential foot traffic.

🪟

Best views

As the Sunu hotel is located in Brikama, rooms on the higher floors (4th or above) may offer views of the surrounding landscape or nearby buildings, depending on the orientation and layout of the hotel.

😴

Quietest floors

3rd and 4th floors are likely to be quieter, as they are away from the ground floor and lift noise.

🔊 Noise notes

Brikama is a busy town with roads and foot traffic, so rooms on lower floors or near the hotel's main entrance may be more prone to noise pollution.

Insider tips

If you're arriving by car, request a room on a higher floor to minimize the potential noise from the hotel's service entrance and nearby traffic. Take advantage of the hotel's 24-hour front desk to secure a room upgrade or request additional amenities, such as extra towels or a room change, if needed.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

围绕

🚌
Airport Shuttle Bus (Gambia International Airlines) GMD 150–200

Banjul International Airport (BJL) arrivals → Brikama bus stop (main highway)

40 min · None—runs on flight schedule only · 0700–1800 (check with desk)

💡 This is a shared minibus that only runs when enough passengers arrive. It stops at the Brikama junction on the highway, not in town. From there, take a shared taxi (GMD 10) to the mosque for Princess Apartments. Not reliable for early or late flights.

🚌
Brikama to Banjul via Brikama Highway (Gambia Public Transport Corporation bus) GMD 15–25

Brikama Garage (west end of town) → Banjul Bus Station

60 min · Every 30–45 mins · 0600–2000

💡 Buses are cramped and rarely on schedule—arrive early. For Princess Apartments, take a shared 'gele-gele' from the garage to the main road junction near the mosque, then walk 5 mins. Avoid peak hours if carrying luggage.

🚕
Local Shared Taxi (Gele-Gele) Brikama to Serrekunda GMD 20–30 per seat

Brikama Garage → Serrekunda Market

35 min · Continuous—leaves when full · 0600–2100

💡 These yellow shared taxis are the fastest local option. Flag one at the Brikama roundabout, not the garage, to avoid waiting. Tell the driver 'Westfield' for Serrekunda—the route passes near Princess Apartments but you'll walk 10 mins from the main road.

🚕
Banjul International Airport Taxi to Brikama GMD 800–1200

Banjul International Airport (BJL) → Princess Apartments, Brikama

45 min · On-demand · 24/7

💡 Negotiate the fare before getting in. Drivers at arrivals often ask 50% more. Agree on GMD 1000 flat for drop-off at Princess Apartments. Confirm the driver knows the location—it's behind the main mosque.
