Hotel vicino a Città Vecchia, Accra

Efficient and professional service.

4/5 – A Peaceful, Homely Boutique Stay in Accra with Gorgeous Green Vibes I stayed at Hetch Tech House from 17–19 November and absolutely loved the relaxing, boutique, home-style atmosphere. It’s not a hotel—it's a charming B&B–hostel hybrid—and that uniqueness is exactly what makes it special. Location I used taxis or drove everywhere, so the location was perfect for my needs and never a barrier to getting around Accra. The team also sends excellent directions and full contact details before your stay, so arriving is stress-free. Arrival & Welcome I was greeted warmly by the staff, given two bottles of water, and welcomed straight into the serene vibe of the property. They have night security, who are friendly and reassuring without being intrusive. Rooms & Comfort My double room with shared bathroom was spotless, comfortable, and cool thanks to both air conditioning and an overhead fan (which I actually preferred most of the time). The bed was extremely comfortable, and I even held a couple of work meetings from my room without interruption. The shared kitchenette just outside my room was handy, especially for travellers who like to prep a quick snack as long as you tidy up after yourself. The House, Gardens & Atmosphere This place has soul. The gardens are lush, peaceful, and full of greenery, and the rooftop offers a quiet place to sit, relax, or reflect. It genuinely feels like you’re staying in someone’s home—in the best possible way—and the staff strike the ideal balance between friendliness and giving you space. They also have a sweet resident dog named Jolly, who adds a lovely, homely touch. There’s a woman nearby who runs a small fruit stall selling everything from pineapples and papayas to coconuts and tiger nuts—perfect for a fresh, local snack. Food There’s an on-site kitchen that serves meals such as whole wheat pizzas, whole wheat burgers, homemade pasta, pan-fried chicken thighs, and whole fresh fish. Meals can be ordered daily up to 8:30pm. I didn’t eat lunch or dinner here because Accra has an incredible food scene and I was out most evenings exploring the city’s restaurants. But if I’d been feeling lazy, I would happily have eaten at the property. Breakfast, however, I did have—and enjoyed. It’s simple and wholesome: fresh fruit (some from their garden), homemade bits, bread, yogurt, spreads, and your choice of tea or filter coffee. A lovely self-service start to the day. Service, Communication & Safety The communication is excellent. They message clear, friendly instructions via WhatsApp, offer recommendations on where to go and what to do, and provide all the essential details you need to feel fully prepared for your stay. You can request laundry service, and visitor policy is straightforward—you simply share ID details for any guests, and then you’re free to sit with them in the gardens or common areas. Who This Place Is For If you’re expecting: a reception desk hotel-style service a resort-like atmosphere …this is not that. But if you love: boutique, homey stays a traveller-friendly, community feel peaceful gardens a flexible, self-service environment attentive but relaxed staff …this place feels like a perfect fit. Final Thoughts This was a lovely end to my trip to Accra. It felt peaceful, comfortable, green, safe, and genuinely welcoming. For the price, service, atmosphere, and overall comfort, I would definitely stay here again. A very solid 4 out of 5.

The location is good. It is located near from the Spintex area in the middle of East Legon. However, they always forget putting towels.. almost every day. So it is better to bring your own towels. The Security guy called David was very helpful. Still overall one of the good place to stay but there are a lot of improvements needed.

Mi sono divertito il mio soggiorno. L'impianto è ben tenuto e in un posto molto buono con facile accesso a tutti i tipi di attività. La sicurezza è molto alta e il personale è amichevole.

Quindi questa è la mia seconda volta di soggiorno all'hotel canwin. Ho prenotato principalmente per la piscina che è ben mantenuta e aperta 24 ore Per il prezzo che è molto economico, la mia stanza includeva un grande colazione sano ogni mattina, composto da uova di patate con salsa di feci di patate e di mele fresche e ginger. C'è un ristorante sul sito che è molto utile. Il personale è sempre in mano molto amichevole molto utile C'è un negozio con un grande supermercato 5 minuti di auto dall'hotel e la spiaggia non è troppo lontana La proprietà delle camere sono leggermente date ma sono ancora molto pulite c'è acqua calda AC e dstv con un paio di canali ho sempre goduto di rimanere qui e mi consigliere

Best stay! Customer service was impeccable, the host harriet was very friendly and attentive, the studio was sold out so they upgraded us to a bigger apartment for free, highly recommend! Shops and restaurants close by, its in the city so its not far from activities and night life, all amenities were provided for! 10/10

On the plus side: they provide a complimentary airport pickup service. When I arrived, I was upgraded to a better room. The hotel is located closer to the airport than to the city center, so it's a great option if you need to be near the airport or the University of Ghana. The negative side: it's far from the city center, and I think it's too expensive for what the hotel offers. I insisted a lot on the breakfast issue because I had read comments about the problems people had experienced trying to have breakfast there. In my case, I was going to attend some conferences, so punctuality in serving breakfast was important. Although I called reception at 7:00 AM to make sure I could have breakfast at 7:30 and they told me yes, when I went at 7:30 the guy at reception didn't know anything about it and had to go look for breakfast, so I couldn't have breakfast at the hotel and had to take it with me. There's almost no natural light in the room, and the artificial lighting is very dim, so if you like places with plenty of natural light, this isn't the place for you. At 6:00 AM, they start making a lot of noise outside – I understand it's related to cleaning, but it sounds like they're scraping something. I think they should be more respectful of guests' rest. The water pressure isn't enough to wash your hair if you have long hair, and I couldn't get hot water either. I wanted to get a SIM card upon arrival at the airport, but since my flight arrived late, I didn't want to keep the driver waiting. I asked him if there would be any place near the hotel to get a SIM card. He told me he would do it for me because a special card was needed that foreigners didn't have. Even though I asked him if he thought it was possible with just my passport, he said it wasn't possible. He wanted to charge me 100 GHS to do it himself, and I told him I would think about it. In the end, I did it myself with my passport – so it is indeed possible, and they charged me 25 GHS. I had planned to stay 6 more days, but all these events made me end up canceling my stay at this place and moving to another, cheaper place with better service.

I had a wonderful stay at GhanaLancaster Hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Accra. The location is very convenient, close to key areas of the city, which made getting around easy and stress-free. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and I immediately felt comfortable. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and all the essentials needed for a relaxing stay. Housekeeping did a great job every day, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt calm and secure. I also enjoyed the hotel facilities, especially the pool area, which was perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Breakfast was another highlight — a great variety of options, fresh food, and good service. The restaurant and bar area were also pleasant, with tasty meals and a nice ambience. Overall, GhanaLancaster Hotel offers excellent value, great hospitality, and a comfortable experience. I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Ghana.

Loved it. Clean and good customer services. Will certainly book again whenever I am in Accra

3/5 – A Time Capsule Stay in the Heart of Osu I stayed at Paintsiwa Wangara Apartments from Wednesday 12 November to Monday 17 November, right in the lively Osu area of Accra—close to great food spots, Republic Bar, street markets, and everything you’d want if you’re exploring the city for the first time. The location alone earns major points. The Vibe: Early-2000s Nostalgia Trip The apartments feel like they were built in the early 2000s… and then politely left exactly as they were. If you’ve ever wondered what hotel living felt like in the late 90s/early 2000s, wonder no longer—this place is a living museum. But honestly? I didn’t mind it. It has charm, just not the modern kind. Privacy Level: Maximum I didn’t see a single other guest my entire stay. Not one. So if you want absolute peace, quiet, and zero human interaction, this is your sanctuary. The staff and security are genuinely lovely—but they also leave you completely alone unless you ask for something, which I personally appreciated. The Apartment Itself Spacious with a kitchen, dining area, living space, and balcony. Very DIY. Think: “you can relax here, but also… good luck.” The facilities are dated, visibly worn, and at times “under construction,” particularly in the corridors. The kitchen feels more suited for long-term stays, and the bathroom definitely remembers the early 2000s fondly. The TV is modern, the A/C works, and once the water pressure fixed itself after Night 1, showers were fine. A Note on Safety… of the Appliances The electric stovetop had some questionable wiring—I got a little tingly current running through me when I touched it. Not in a romantic way. More in an “oh, that’s electricity” way. Breakfast: A Highlight Breakfast was a delight—delivered to my door every morning between 8:00 and 8:45am. Good portions, a mix of European-style options, fruit, and drinks. I genuinely felt special receiving it every morning. (Just note: no breakfast on weekends, but the price is reasonable enough that it’s not a dealbreaker.) Wi-Fi & Reception Wi-Fi was initially a challenge from my room in the annex, but once I asked the staff for the correct password, it worked fine. Reception is chilled and helpful—day or night. Housekeeping only happens if you request it. Otherwise, you’re left in peace. Security Strict about logging visitors, which I appreciate. It feels like a safe place, and the guards are friendly and professional. The Overall Experience Is it perfect? No. Does it need investment? Yes. Does the wiring need prayer? Also yes. Should the owner consider a renovation? Absolutely. But despite all that, I liked staying here. It gave me: privacy, space, peace - I cant say quiet because you can hear the planes going overhead from the airport. but i got used to them. sufficient security, lovely staff, and an excellent location. I loved my time in Accra, and this apartment gave me a calm home base between adventures. Just don’t expect luxury or modern hotel standards—this is a 3-star apartment complex that does exactly what a 3-star place should do. If you’re self-sufficient, easygoing, and looking for space and quiet, this is a solid choice. If you want polished finishes, daily housekeeping, and flawless facilities—you’ll need to look elsewhere.
