if you have business in Cotonou, I recommend you take a break from your french chain hotel fidelity programs, and try the Hotel du Port. Although almost downtown buzzy Cotonou, you have a quite place to withdraw while doing business. The pool in the inside court, around which the cozy rooms are located, is generous, I guess about 25 m long. at the far end a bar and soft rattan sofas, and adjacent an air-conditioned dining room. However, I prefer eating outside near the pool, with an exotic view on Palm trees and towers of containers of the near by port. The food is delicious, though expensive for Cotonou, between 10 to 25 Euros for main dishes. the Wireless Lan works both in the pool bar area, but better in the lobby. I find this hotel the perfect alternative to brand hotels who do not ful fill their promisses and disappoint with sterile environments.
