I stayed here on two separate occasions on business in the span of two weeks. The first time I was assigned a regular room, which was fully appointed with a kitchen, coffee/tea pot, and refrigerator. It was quite clean. The breakfast buffet was very nice, with about anything you might want and expect for breakfast. I had lunch and dinner... More

We are currently holding a conference for 50 people at this hotel. They are incredibly accommodating and have met our planned and more immediate requests. The room is light and airy, food and tea breaks delivered on time. Staff are polite and responsive. Issues with the air-conditioning and water were sorted quickly. Only complaint is that the generator is not... More

I literally just slept here and no more so I'ts hard to make a detailed comment. No huge complaints except the location is way to far out of town. Took almost two hours in a taxi at rush hour. Eric on reception at night was very friendly and helpful - ensured my taxi arrived on time.

Stayed here with my son for 4 nights late November and having stayed in several other Accra Hotels including the Erata and the Golden Tulip, this is our preferred property. Why? Because it was relatively clean, with good service and good food and located away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Our two air conditioned rooms were clean (apart... More

I stayed here 3 nights, during 2 visits. The first time the hotel was full so they put me in a 2 bedroom apartment on the grounds. There was a lot of space, but this unit was barely furnished - not appealing place at all. The phone was not connected and the TV barely functioned. Not recommended. I stayed in... More

I've stayed here twice, for about a week each time. The hotel has some potential: the rooms are a good size, there's a nice pool, the food (at dinner time) can be quite tasty. But there are too many things that are just sloppy. Curtains in the rooms are rather grand in appearance - but don't close properly. Bathrooms have... More

This hotel is in my list of the worst five hotels I’ve ever been to. They charge first world rates for mediocre service. The facilities they advertise (e.g. Internet) was not working, the staff were slow, and you’ll want to sleep through breakfast. This place can be described simply as sloppy.

I stayed here because my flight to the United States was cancelled. I was impressed with the spacious apartment style rooms and the nice pool and gym. The only problem was the music. It was loud and played late in to the night. Then it started up again the next morning around 5:00. Overall a nice place though.
