Accra City Hotel
$140-180/ natt
Boka detta om You want a reliable, safety-conscious business hub in the center of Accra where the AC works and the wifi is fast.
Varför människor älskar det
- Central location near Makola Market and ministries
- Reliable free Wi-Fi and 24-hour business center
- Nice outdoor pool area with lifeguards
Snabb Överblick: It’s a former Novotel that plays it safe—solid and functional, but don't expect boutique charm or openable windows.
Recenserat av @Amegnona_James: I honestly didn't expect the nightlife here to be this vibrant! The Friday Kizomba night is electric—even if you have two left feet like me, the community is so welcoming. The cocktails were the perfect cherry on top. Definitely the place to be in Accra to start the weekend.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Garden View' is mostly a view of the pool and tennis court, not a lush forest.
💡The shower curtains in some standard rooms are flimsy and can flood the floor.
💡You might hear 'dancing' music from the bar even on the 2nd floor until late.
💡The AC is powerful but can be loud; it's a white noise machine whether you want it or not.
💡Room service adds a hefty surcharge and takes its sweet time.
