Did not get value for money.
Pros:

I liked the location of the facility. It was near the central area.

Cons:

I was given a room with no AC. The mattress was sunken and made sleeping uncomfortable for me. Woke up with body pains.

Good hotel for a decent price.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and a good start to my trip through Benin. Good value for money and the location was on a side street but only a short walk to the main road to then catch a taxi or a moto.

Cons:

I arrived and put my bags down and lied on my bed. 15 minutes later my bed broke without me even moving. When I went down to report it, the lady at the desk was trying to get the young bloke to fix it rather than giving me another room despite him telling her it’s broken. After 10 minutes of him trying to fix it he went to tell her he couldn’t fix it and she gave me another room.
