I used the hotel only for flight transit. Though I arrived at the airport late at night because of the delay of flight, the driver of the shuttle waited me and brought me to the hotel safely. He took me to the airport next morning safely and timely. The staff of the hotel was kind and prepared breakfast timely.

This hotel is very close to the airport. It's a nice place to be. The only negative thing is mosquito bites. Rooms need to be sprayed regularly to prevent mosquito bites.

I was well received but needed to alter my booking by staying out on 18th August and coming back to the hotel on 19th to to still 20th to depart on 21st . The need to do so arose after realizing that my conference meeting was ending late on 18th evening and I didn't feel safe been driven at night by taxi. The hotel manager was not flexible to that effect. I had to leave on 18th having slept in that hotel for only one night and look for alternative accommodation. Kindly refund my money at least for 19th night. Thank you. Josephine

The hotel is close to the airport and is a good spot for arrivals and departures. Also, not too expensive. Therein nothing of interest in the neighborhood (to me, at least). Near the motorway for getting around town though. The first time I tried to stay there the electricity was out and they couldn't accept guests. Frequent power outages are common in Accra and Ghana in general.

It's barely functional. You can definitely get a better hotel at the same or lower price. Exactly the same limited breakfast every morning served in sweaty hot room with broken aircon by never smiling woman. Most barren rooms with no art painted in brown and dirty white, broken shower fittings, security guards that fall asleep at night so don't open gate. They have no phone number for taxi. Aircon of room above me was right outside my window and always noisy even when my noisy aircon was off. What else you want to know?

It was my worst experience ever in a foreign country, the mosquitoes, and other insects were disgusting. As if that wasn't bad enough, the Power plant broke down. We were later transferred to a sister hotel somewhere in town

Hotel was fine, should one look for a reasonable priced hotel this is fine, more suitable for a short stay, convenient close to the airport and hotel staff are friendly.

This was my first time to try Hotel Obama when coming to Accra. I decided to try it as I was tired of paying the crazy $250-$300 per night rates many hotels around the airport charge. After staying at the Hotel Obama I will no longer stay at any of the other hotels as the huge price difference isn't warranted. The staff at Obama were very friendly and helpful, the bed was perfectly clean and comfortable and while the bathroom was a bit tired it too was also perfectly clean and functional. Next time I'm returning to Accra I'll choose to stay at the Obama again.

NOT MUCH. Chose it only since hotels.com had it listed as having complimentary airport transfers, and for a short sty this was paramount in an unfamiliar environment . I made a special note when booking it with flight number, time etc to meet me at airport. Next day after booking, I emailed on my own the hotel to inform them again of my arrival info . NEVER got a response back from them , and neither were they the upon arrival. I arrived at hotel with taxi driver, asked the management to pay the driver but they refused. same with the ride back to the airport, even after I showed them on the hotels.com listing. They said they wouldn't do it. OK , so I won't do something for them- give a good review. I do not appreciate dishonesty , unscrupulous biz practices and getting taken. They got me once, and if I can save YOU the same, I will feel that the money I wasted on this old dump was not a loss . Keep searching. Pass this one up. Thank you for your attention .
