    Good facilities, good location but issues with service and lackluster breakfast
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The human capital is lacking behind the level of facilities. Slow check-in with issues with my online reservation. Slow service and communication issues with the roof-top restaurant, in-room service and breakfast staff. It doesn't matter if you have so many staff if they are just chatting among themselves and unaware of guests. Breakfast is underwhelming. They don't know how to cook eggs (over easy? what?). You have to ask for a coffee ( no self-service here) and it comes ages later when your are done eating. Breakfast choice is not impressive if you are used to international hotel stays. Dry muffins, papayas and fried fish.

    Good hotel in a great location - you can walk to all downtown locations easily which is great. Room and facilities are new and up to international standards. Wifi was good and working without hassle. Really comfortable bed, large bathroom and soft towels.

    Don’t choose the room with Mountain View and balcony

    During my visit, I chose a double room with a mountain view and a balcony, which was a mistake. First, the balcony does not correspond to my imagination. That is a shared terrace with other guests. I prefer private balcony. Second, Mountain View no longer exists. The building of Ecobank is there and another building is being built. As a result, it is an unsatisfactory city perspective. Finally, the hotel provided me with a bed that was composed of two single beds. It's a clever method, but I prefer a proper double bed.

    Breakfast is rated higher than at other hotels. It, for example, serves Fried plantain and a trio of vegetables. In addition, the barista makes excellent coffee.

    The lady at the reception wasn’t really welcoming. She seemed bored or even annoyed… She didn’t give us any informations about the facilities, how to acces the pool or gym, time for breakfast or where were the restaurants…

    The room was nice. We had the view on the city, and the bath separated from the shower. The pool on top is beautiful and warm! We really enjoy swimming and watching the sunset. The restaurant is also good although it isn’t open air.

    There was a lack of hot water for more than a day and the air conditioning was not very cool, so the room felt uncomfortably hot at times.

    The stay was very good and staff were very helpful and welcoming. The breakfast and room service were good, the facilities were very clean and well located.

    I have no complains everything is perfect but I love to bath with very hot water and it seems they intentionally regulated the temperature of the water in the bathroom. It wasn’t hot enough for me.

    I loved the cleanliness and interior of the bedroom where I stayed. I loved the bathroom as well, everything about the hotel trips me. It’s a really nice and beautiful environment. The staff treated us very well and they helped me organize a small birthday party for my husband while we were at the property. It was really beautiful and nice.

    The breakfast was good but could’ve been better and we were told twice by staff that the breakfast was closing at 10 whilst eating, this made us feel like we had to rush.

    Room was extremely comfortable and quiet, we were upgraded to a suite which was perfect and a nice touch. staff were really helpful

    Pretty great place to stay for a few days - nice amenities, easy access, good location

    Staff was generally nice and helpful but once or twice offered cab rides for a much higher price than warranted. When I laughingly reacted to their estimates by stating it was too high (and I knew it was too high), they agreed and went lower. The air conditioning in the room was either not adjustable or did not properly work, so the room was not cooling off noticeably. I visited in early October so during the day it was getting a bit toasty but not awful either.

    Pretty much everything was great: the room and the view, the quick reaction from staff and maintenance when I thought I had a plumbing issue in the room, breakfast was great, the restaurant had decent menu and very well-prepared food, view from the rooftop restaurant is spectacular. The pool is not as small as it seems and is warmed so swimming at 7 am is quite nice. My room was just by the elevators, and I was initially worried but I never heard any noise coming from the corridor.

    The water is not hot. it’s lukewarm so the shower experience can be greatly improved by the management of the hotel.

    The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. The rooftop pool is heated which is good. The food and its preparation can be improved.

    The area was good, the view on the Rooftop resturant was beautiful. Mr Daniel at reception was very respectfull and accommodating to our requests. The buffet had alot varieties and it was good for a vegetarian like me.
