The rooms are quite comfortable and the breakfast is good. I had to cross a smelly water soaked woolen carpet each time I entered my room though. It would help a lot if the bar has more variety. The frontliner I met was too stern faced, making me wanna turn and bolt. The waiters and waitresses are professionally behaved though.

Excellent and very large property, lovely and beautiful. Bad maintenance. Breakfast is okay, other time food can improve. Reception services are 3 star standard, okay. Lobby is large and very specious.

This review is from a point of view of someone whose bill was paid by an organization, so i am not privy to price details. However on the service, we went as a large group and i can say that holding events/meetings in this hotel is not a bad deal. During our events, the meal was good, the venue was... More

Just completed a one week stay on business. Never again. Ibis or Novotel. In a nutshell, this place looks nice and grand from the street or the lobby, but the rooms are tired and in need of napalm. Mattress was about as good as my kids have at summer camp, pillows appeared to be just cases packed with towels, bathroom... More

Well where should I start ? The view on the pool and sea was great, and thank God, there was no carpeting in the room.These are the only positive things I can say about my Benin Marina hotel experience. I am never going to that my place again because: Walls are thin and I could hear everything that was going... More

There are not too many 5-star hotels in Africa. However, this one was not bad. I stayed on the 3rd floor and I had a decent room. Internet was available but Wi-Fi was available only in the lobby. I ordered room service with quick arrival and had a very good meal. It was the rainy season and my room was... More

If you expect that this large hotel (ex-Sheraton) will offer services like similar hotels from Europe, North America, big cities of Latina America or any "really" resort, you will be dissapointed. If you expect a physical large hotel with basic infrastructure, you will be glad. Don't stay at the third floor, specially during rainny season (mai to july). Generally the... More

This hotel looks very old by now, it needs renovation! Service is not the worst in Benin - but that does not mean good. The front desk staff has a few friendly individuals amongst them. The outside bar staff are extremely slow and seems to deliberately attempt to ignore you. I had a room on first floor. Very poor condition.... More

This hotel is conveniently located very near the airport and is ok, but not great. The rooms are nothing special, and a bit on the shabby side, but clean. The service, however, is pretty bad. You only get one small bottle of water in your room, regardless of the number of people, for the entire length of your stay, and... More

We stayed here for 3 nights this past wkend at one of the bangalow rooms and what a nightmare!! The hotel rooms are old but decent. The thing that pissed me off more than anything else is the housekeeping... or lack of. On one of the days, we had to call them to clean the room - don't mind that... More
