8.2 (70 reviews)

Golden Tulip le Diplomate Cotonou ★★★★

📍 No 90 rue 12.017- Boulevard de la Marina, Cotonou

"I stayed at the Novotel next door a few days ago, and then moved to this hotel because the Novotel was fully booked. I thought that the same price and the same star rating should not be much different, but it really fits the saying that there is no harm without comparison. First of all, the room facilities are relatively old, which is nothing. The bathroom is the kind that you need to stand in the bathtub to shower, and there will be a lot of water leaking on the floor after taking a shower. The service is also unsatisfactory. After cleaning on the first day, the cleaning staff said that they would send me floor towels and face towels later, but they were not delivered in the evening. I called to ask for floor towels, and I don’t know if they didn’t understand or what, and they were not delivered. Finally, the breakfast is really worse than the Novotel next door. It is no exaggeration to say that there are only less varieties than the general Novotel, and the fruits are not fresh. In short, if you can stay in Novotel, don’t choose this place. Don’t choose Sofitel later. By the way, I forgot to say that I checked in on the 7th and checked out on the 10th. The Wi-Fi account given is valid only until 23:59 on the 9th night, and I can only use my own data in the morning of the 10th."

Hotel Bkbg Benin Hotels in Cotonou

Hotel Bkbg Benin

"The hotel is ill prepared for groups. Running out of basic supplies like Kleenex, shutting the hot water off at night so we have to wait in the morning for it, a sub standard buffet with cold eggs in the morning, and meals promised at a certain time only to be served late are just some of the issues. On the plus side, the place is clean, the pool is well maintained, and the staff is doing its best. Unfortunately, the above issues indicate poor management."

Hotel la Casa Cielo Hotels in Cotonou

Hotel la Casa Cielo

"A lovely hotel in a great location facing the sea. The restaurant is really very good, with a wide selection, and especially Indian and Asian specialties. The food is healthy, plentiful, and beautifully presented. The female staff are lovely and very well-mannered. The Indian owners, however, completely ignore the guests. I had a very small room for 10 days, with access to a corridor, but if you're only using it for sleeping... For meals, there are four different options: the restaurant (closed, especially for breakfast, which is excellent, by the way), the indoor and outdoor lounge on the 4th floor, and the pool. Walks on the beach are within easy reach, and the pool area is fabulous and sunny from morning till night. A true Afro-Caribbean atmosphere is guaranteed. The Wi-Fi is very average, and the TV quality is mediocre. The concierge is exceptionally helpful and kind. In short, with its pros and cons, it offers excellent value for money in Cotonou."

Ibis Cotonou ★★★
"The room is very old, but it is in the same park as the Novotel next door. You can go to Loft for breakfast, which is much richer, but a little more expensive. There is a gym that can be used together, which is not bad. It is a bit far from the big supermarket."

Novotel Cotonou Orisha ★★★★
"This is more of a 3+ star hotel, and if it charged 130-150 euro per night, the price-quality ratio would be fine. At 250 euro per night, it seems exaggerated to me even by African standards, yet it was almost full, so they seem to be having good business somehow. On the positive side, the staff is really nice, everyone, once you are there. On the negative side, there is more: 1) I wrote an email to the address in the booking confirmation to book the free airport shuttle, I never received any reply. I received a personalized pre-arrival email asking about any request that I might have, I replied with the airport shuttle, and I didn't get any answer. Obviously, the shuttle wasn't there but some very nice Sofitel staff called the Novotel driver to come. (He did come within 5 minutes.) I must admit this experience framed my stay. 2) The whole place feels claustrophobic with its low ceilings, even in the lobby. Definitely more of the Ibis barrack 'vibe' than a 4-star wibe. The same holds for the rooms. Generic, dull design, let's impress at a low investment. OK, let's be fair, this can be accepted for a 4-star hotel. 3) Banging doors, no soft closing. This was particularly annoying as they seem to be servicing / cleaning vacated rooms on a continuous basis, during the afternoon and even at 8pm. Staff in, bang, staff out, bang. 4) Food was definitely underwhelming, with few appetizing choices at breakfast (no omelette station, and the terrible powder scrambled eggs), and lunch and dinner geared towards the buffet, perhaps because of the weekend. In my á la carte experience, quantity prevailed over quality. This applied especially to the tenderloin and, sadly, the chocolate 'trilogy' which were both huge but nothing to fall in love with."

"The staff is the nicest and most helpful of any I've met in years of traveling. They bend over backwards to make everything work smoothly. Even though I had another hotel booked for the second night I decided to lose that booking just to stay another night here Thank you Celine and Elena and others"

"Although the hotel front desk knew that I was staying alone, they insisted on charging city tax for two people. The reason was that the order Ctrip gave to the hotel was marked as "two people staying"... Ctrip made a mistake, and the hotel took advantage of it, and the unlucky one was the customer!"
