I will never stay here again. The hotel is old and disgusting, and it's not safe to stay here. (I was stalked by a male employee.) There's hair and dirt that's accumulated in the corners of the rooms. The flooring of the rooms is basically plastic-coated matting (not carpet, not tile, not wood -- it's the most bizarre thing I've ever seen), and it turns the bottom of your feet black because you can't clean the floors properly. They were constantly sticky, so I had to wear shoes the entire time I was in my room. Ants were crawling all over the room -- on the walls and floors -- and were so many that I had to put towels on the floor so that I didn't step on them. I asked the hotel to deal with it (i.e., seal the massive gaps between the flooring and the walls), but instead they fumigated my room with really toxic mosquito spray that obviously isn't going to work on ants. The window of my room was completely sealed and not able to be opened, which isn't safe to begin with! It was a fight to get them to open my window to air out the room because my throat and eyes were burning from the insecticide. The staff at breakfast are rude and not helpful and it takes 20 minutes to get a coffee. The hotel allows too many outside parties/guests and it makes it impossible to get a seat at breakfast nor get any kind of room service. I ended up having to report a male staff person who kept knocking on my door after he memorized my room number and kept bothering me to "check on me," and kept asking personal questions and when I was going to check out. I felt very unsafe, but I wasn't able to move hotels because I was traveling for work and other hotels in the area at per diem rates were booked up. I travel constantly for work and have stayed at hotels around the world. I will never stay here again.

Filthy and outdated. The walls were stained, the floors were constantly sticky, and the room with the toilet, which is separate from the shower, is too small to actually use it with the door closed.
Safety
A male employee stalked me, and I had to ask the hotel to intervene. I was told I would get a call back after they addressed the issue, which never happened. He kept knocking on my door to ask personal questions and to ask when I was leaving the hotel. It was very unsettling.
Food & drinks
The food is over-priced and less than mediocre.
Noteworthy details
The staff don't really care about your experience and are rude

  • Bithiah Keren-Happuch

My husband and I arrived at the hotel at noon right from landing at kotoka from US on Christmas day 2022. We were made to wait unnecessarily with all our luggage in the reception because check-in is at 1pm. However, a gentleman was allowed into his room because he's white?! Those attendants at the reception are racist! They treat black people with contempt and others of different race exceptionally well. I witnessed this. It was Christmas day, December 25th, so they didn't see my crazy side concerning their rude nature. They keep a straight face as if they have a problem with you. They need some serious training. All those women there! The one in glasses is the worst of them. The least said about them, the better! Guests must always check their account balance. We found out at the last moment we had been over charged for certain services like breakfast buffet and other charges the hotel could not give any tangible reason for which such deductions were made. The male staff are cool. The food, not the best and very little variety. The only plus was the room we chose, superior room. Very comfortable room but for the unfriendly female attendants at the reception and the wrongful deductions, we enjoyed our Christmas stay.

  • Langley DeWitt

Stayed for a conference. A bit dirty and run down, generally, would not call 4*. Room had a moldy smell, someone spit in an elevator and it was just there in a corner, hotel staff tried at last minute to charge me an extra $80 for 'late checkout' (I had booked the whole night at regular rate, knowing i would stay late, so I would have been charged double). I also need an itemized receipt for work and they are refusing to provide it--they say the third part must do it, but the third party says the hotel must do it (and third party has a webpage that outlines the hotel's responsibility--plus it would be a nice customer service thing for the hotel to do). The WiFi was not good enough to take video work calls, maybe just my room (4th floor)--otherwise ok. The food was quite good (both at buffet and at their bar) and most of the staff was friendly and helpful when I was staying there. The location was good and easy to get taxis/ubers plus I walked to the national museum and the memorial park from there pretty easily.

Stayed overnight. The room was actually ok. The bummer was not having a travel adapter for the socket by the bedside (not the traditional 3-pin socket). WiFi was ok. Edit: Extended my stay to five nights. The breakfast buffet (which is US$20 and actually paid for by guests based on your lodging choice) was ok. I was not pleased the airport shuttle cost US$10. I don't know of any hotel that charges guests for airport shuttle. I am tempted to remove 1 star. The fire alarm kept tripping on. It was a daily occurrence and it happened once at night during my stay. It was weird to be the only one coming out to the muster point while the hotel staff behaved like nothing was going on. Almost as if they do not know how to respond to a fire alarm. (I am still tempted to remove 1 star) The staff were very pleasant, well all that I interacted with, except one who was slightly rude. The hotel is currently being renovated. I hope it'll improve on its already nice environment.

A beautiful hotel, daily housekeeping, breakfast buffet, a daily mini bar fridge, gym and good air-conditioning. Accra is a very hot city and the cool atmosphere of the hotel makes for a pleasant stay. They have a beautiful pool area, as well as a smaller chill pool, an outside lounging area and tennis courts. They have a great souvenir shop and amazing art display throughout the hotel, with artist profiles. An ATM and foreign exchange counter to make sure you are not stuck without money during your stay. We visited the hotel as Team South Africa for the first ever Para games in Accra, the hotel made adjustments and accommodation for all our wheelchair bound athletes. Overall an amazing stay.

I recently visited Accra and stayed in the Accra City Hotel. My experience was great right from the airport. There was a hotel representative waiting for me at the arrivals and facilitated shuttle transport. Staff were readily available to assist. The hotel felt secure and the wifi connection was good and reliable. The rooms were well equipped, complimentary bar, a desk and chair, safe. It was also in easy reach of most places which was useful considering the city traffic situation. All in all, thank you Accra City Hotel for the hospitality.

Food & drinks
Their foods and mostly their drinks are very nice,precisely speaking I love their meal. It's a good place so am not surprised their things are always great.

The Accra City Hotel is in a great location within walking distance of many attractions in Accra. The buffet style breakfast had a wide variety of breads, peeled fruit, cheese, and hot entrees. It was also convienent to have complementary bottled water in the room on a daily basis. The hotel is gated and secure. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Accra.

The hotel is so good but I wouldn't recommend it for business travellers. Their WiFi in the rooms are terribly bad if you sometimes you would want to work in your room. Even their IT guy could not fix the problem. This was a bad experience for my colleagues too in other rooms . They have nice services and their food are great . It's just so inconveniencing when I can't use my room WiFi .

I have not slept at this hotel yet but I was there for an event and had lunch. The buffet was good. Tables were well spaced in adherence to covid protocols. The food was generally nice. I personally enjoyed the salads and the barracuda i had. Beautiful place with a good layout. I didn't experience very pleasant staff though I guess it is because I did not have a lot of interactions with them. So quite a good place. I will try to spend a night also to experience how in house guests are treated

  • Robby Wellis

I visited for a conference in December 2022. The conference room we used was spacious and had 2 sets of doors for access and egress. There were no incidents. Lunch was included for the conference. The kitchen was able to make massive takeout packages for those who could not join the buffet. My bag included proteins, carbohydrate main meal, fruits, salad, dessert and a soft drink. Looking forward to enjoying their buffet lunch or dinner in the Christmas season.

  • Steffi M

This is a nice hotel. The rooms were a bit small. Although I liked the arrangement of having the toilet area separate from the shower and sink area, I didn't like the fact that the toilet is right by the room door. The lobby bar was a nice size and the service was good. The restaurant has a breakfast and dinner buffet with delicous options. At the time of my stay they were renovating the pool but the open area behind the hotel is a nice quiet space to relax.

  • edwin adjei

Attention to customers was lacking from the waiters. My table waited a long time for the welcome drink and when it came it was for three out of seven The rest never came. We had to fend for ourselves. At certain times you couldn't spot a single attendant in the whole big hall to becon for a service There was seating congestion so movement was difficult. The chicken light soup was a bit too thick for its name. Thanks

I had dinner at Accra City Hotel. I must say the staff are very polite and welcoming. Their yam balls are probably the best i have ever tasted. The food had variety but not as much as other hotels. Their jollof was absolutely delicious and so as well. The restaurant was quite small and a little cramped but the food was on the whole 7 out of 10.

Attended the e-Comedy event by Augustin Dennis there prior to the I have been to one of their Friday Kizomba nights. Great ambience, staff are friendly and it's an all round very neat place. Haven't slept there before so I can't tell how their room service feels like. But I would recommend for those who want to use the Bar and meeting spaces.

Great Hotel, I did the UpGrade Suite! Worth it. Elevator with access only to room. Very Safe Environmen. Security Guard checks every vehicle coming on the property. Staff is wonderful. I booked this hotel just because of the tennis court, amified lighting at night too to play.
