Hvorfor folk elsker det

  • Extremely affordable rates for private ensuite rooms
  • Reliable air conditioning in a humid climate
  • On-site restaurant serves decent local and continental food

Hurtig oversigt: A budget crash pad that delivers the basics (bed, AC, roof) but struggles with maintenance and cleanliness consistency.

Anmeldt af @normallycha: I was so tired when I arrived, but this room was a total lifesaver. The bed is super big—honestly huge—and the view of the city is so pretty. It’s fairly new, really clean, and I loved just watching the school kids play outside. Perfect escape from the cold.

The hype

Travelers appreciate the low price and friendly staff, but consistently note the property feels tired and in need of a refresh.

Reality check

The 'Deluxe' room labels are marketing fluff; expect a basic 2-star experience with thin walls and dated linens.

  • You just need a cheap, air-conditioned place to sleep
  • You want to be a short taxi ride from Market Circle without the noise of staying right inside it
  • You prefer spending your money on local food rather than a hotel lobby

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

4.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is provided, but attention to detail varies. Floors are swept, but dust often lingers on high shelves or under beds.
  • Bathroom hygiene: The biggest weak point. Grout often shows age/discoloration, and fixtures may have calcification. Bring shower shoes.
  • Maintenance: Tired. Peeling paint and loose doorknobs are common complaints. It's functional but far from pristine.
  • Linens & towels: Towels can be thin and scratchy. Sheets are clean but worn.
  • Odors & scents: Older rooms can have a faint musty smell due to humidity; airing out the room helps.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is there a pool at Queensland Hotel?

No. Guests looking to swim should head to Vienna City Beach or a nearby resort for a day pass.

Do they accept credit cards?

Officially yes, but practically no. The machine is frequently reported as broken. Cash is king here.

Is breakfast included?

Yes, a simple continental breakfast (usually tea/coffee, bread, egg) is typically included in the rate.

How far is the airport?

Takoradi Airport (TKD) is about a 15-20 minute drive (approx. 7km) depending on traffic.

Is the hotel safe?

Yes, the Anaji/Akufo-Addo Road area is generally safe, and the hotel has 24-hour front desk security.

Is there hot water?

Yes, but it can be temperamental. Let the tap run for a minute, and don't expect scalding high pressure.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    The 'deep soaking tubs' mentioned in some listings are often just standard bathtubs—don't expect a jacuzzi.

  • ✨

    You can buy large bottles of water at the nearby shell station or local shops for much cheaper than the hotel bar.

  • ✨

    Request a receipt immediately upon payment to avoid any confusion at checkout.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The 'gym' is virtually non-existent or just a couple of rusty weights; don't plan your workout around it.

  • 💡You might need to ask reception to turn on the water heater switch for your room 20 minutes before you shower.

  • 💡The curtains are not true blackout; morning sun hits early.

  • 💡Local taxi drivers might know it better as 'The hotel on Anaji road' rather than just 'Queensland'.

  • 💡Room service is available but operates on 'Ghana time'—order at least an hour before you're actually starving.
