I liked this place, but as the guidebook said, it would not be for everyone.
Pros:

A great sea view. Best backpacker option in Accra.

Cons:

Plumbing

I’m glad I chose this place. It was exactly what I needed. I’m likely to visit again whenever I need a “me” time ❤️
Pros:

The location was perfect for me after a long trip, the environment, the sea view, trees … it’s so calming and the staff very welcoming.

In the midst of temporary housing
Cons:

The location is in an area where I couldn’t feel safe. It felt like in the midst of a slum in the midst of temporary housing.

It also seems to be a meeting point for people who want to find their inner selves through intake of substances.

Not my kind of place
Pros:

When I got there, I had to cancel my reservation because it was not what I expected. It is a place for ratsta smoking weed and heavy sound of music, ratsta music. So I want somewhere else around down asylum.

Cons:

Not my kind of place

Pros:

Amazing views right by the sea. Nice chill breakfast area (with kittens!!!) and another separate bit where they host parties and stuff, good for socialising. Big enough room with comfortable bed, you get your own key so can arrive and leave whenever. Breakfast included is bread and tea/coffee with optional paid extras.

Cons:

They will probably charge you a bit more than booking.com said - I ended up paying 250 cedi ($23 €20 £17) a night which is still very cheap but not what was advertised. Breakfast is nice but took a long time (30-45 minutes) to arrive, so factor that in if you have plans

Pros:

I like how cold and organised the premises look like, simple and sweet.
It is also above sea level and you can have a better sea view.
The staff are good in manners and very welcoming.
They also have enough trees and huts to provide enough shades.
The also have culture playground.

Cons:

I don't like the fact that, all the trashes were kept near the building openly.
Maybe they should get a big trash container so that when it is full, the Zoomlions can come for the trash.

もう一歩のホテル
Pros:

共同トイレとシャワー室が朝掃除されており、もう少しサービスが改善されれば人気宿になるだろう。

Cons:

朝食付きを予約したのに、朝食はないと言われ、朝食付きのプランであることを長い時間説明してやっと、朝食を出してもらえることになったが、本来は2人分のところ1人分しか提供されなかった。窓が壊れて閉められなかったり、トイレのドアがなかったり、ブッキングドットコム経由の予約だと、予約をとった日を尋ねら、部屋に入れるまで時間がかかった。部屋を出ると海が見えて、ロケーションがとても良いのでもったいない。

Poor experience
Pros:

Apart from the sea near the place. Nothing was good for me.

Cons:

I think you have to take this off your platform. It is a stink area with poor facilities. Poor environment with suspicious characters in and around the premises. Poor environment. In fact I regretted booking this place. And it looked like their food was quite expensive too.. They behaved like a first class facility but it's far below poor. I was told by a taxi driver at the airport but I never believed until I got there..I should have gone to sleep in my family house.

Für robuste Urlauber
Pros:

Die Lage am Ozean und der Ausblick waren unglaublich. Auch war der Großteil des Personals sehr zuvorkommend. Ein Mitarbeiter half mir beim Zusammenschrauben meines Fahrrads und bot mir eine gemeinsame Fahrradtour durch Accra an. Preis-Leistung stimmte trotz der unten beschriebenen Mängel.

Cons:

Kein fließendes Wasser aus dem Duschkopf. Duschen/Waschen konnte man sich mit Hilfe einer Schöpfkelle. Der "Zimmerservice" wollte für das Entfernen von Bettwanzen Geld und durfte darauf hingewiesen werden, dass ein Ungeziefer freies Hotelzimmer eigentlich selbstverständlich ist.

Pros:

The staff are exceptional and the place too fit the money that they're taking.

Cons:

There should be more improvements in the rooms and both the toilet and bathroom also needs improvements because the last time I went there, the water was not working
