Mixed Experience

The hotel is fine for a business hotel but there were a few issues.
1. The wifi worked most of the time but dropped off every now and then.
2. One evening the hot water stopped working.
3. Snack / bar type food can only be ordered as room service. The webpage to let you know what you can order did not work. In the event, the price of a club sandwich was the same as a half chicken dinner in the restaurant.
4. The TV channels only worked spradically. This may be linked to the wifi issues.
5. Some staff were very attentive and helpful others took ages to take your order and present a bill.

It was a very contemporary hotel. Pricy (compared to other Ivorian hotels) due to being in Plateau. Example - lunch buffet was 20 US dollars - about 4× the cost in Kumasi. Staff was friendly and helpful. We missed the hotel shuttle due to being stuck at the airport in customs, and the hotel sent tbe driver and van back out for us.

The facility looks quite new and clean. The room is small but enough. One thing I need to say is about the reservation and payment. I’ve booked six nights but it was booked as just one night.

And, even though around 200 dollars was deducted from my card on the first day of check-in (it is not a deposit because it has not been refunded yet), I was charged for the entire stay on the last day and had to pay it. I am requesting a refund, but there has been no response and I am in a very difficult position.

The Seen Hotel is in the business district. It is a walkable neighborhood to stores, banks and restaurants during the daytime. At night, the neighborhood is quiet as many people only come to this area to work.

The rooms are small. I did not like that they had no door or privacy for the shower and toilet area which were directly behind a glass wall next to the bed. I also did. It like that they only provided ONE towel and NO washcloth. It seemed a bit strange coming from hotels in the USA.

If you don’t speak the language (French), the hotel staff is also limited in their ability to help.

I did like the fact that hotel is very security conscious.

One of the best options in Abidjan

Seen Hotel is a very comfortable property located in the heart of the Plateau district (downtown Abidjan CBD). Free shuttle service to and from the airport was dependable and comfortable, with free water provided. The room is very modern, but there was the smell of mildew in the air so they need to improve ventilation and perhaps clean the smell out of the room. Overall, it’s a comfortable and clean place to stay and I always choose this hotel in Abidjan. I felt that service was lacking a bit - the staff seem a bit unhappy. Also, the hotel is currently undergoing renovations so services are a bit different than listed, but they’re trying their best.

I was told no room available after making me wait for 2 hours. The worst experience I have ever encountered with a hotel.com reservation. They just didnt care and disrespected us. We were recommended another hotel and when we arrived were told have to pay or look for another hotel. They just did not care. I have never experienced anything like this before and the worst part was we were in foreign country. I give the place a 0 rating. The staff was horrible which reflects on the manager who were told was not available all that time.

First time to Abidjan

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Abidjan, and I must say, my trip was an absolute delight from start to finish! The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the wonderful hotel with its impeccable conditions, spotless cleanliness, and exceptional organization, it truly exceeded all my expectations.

What made my experience even more memorable was the hotel staff. They were so friendliness, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. Even though some of them didn't speak English, they made every effort to communicate and make me feel welcomed. A special shout out goes to Milton and Michael, who stood out for their exceptional service and genuine care.

The hotel's location was another great advantage. It provided convenient access to the city's, making it the perfect base for exploring Abidjan. And let's not forget the mouthwatering breakfast spread! It offered a tantalizing variety of delectable dishes, catering to all taste buds and ensuring a delightful start to each day.

If you are in Abidjan on vacation, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel as it’s geared towards business meetings and etc. breakfast is limited and room service is slow and unhelpful. You’ll likely get more for your money elsewhere. Luckily I only booked 2/3 nights anything more and I would’ve likely checked out early. Staff are hit & miss in turns of attentive ones and those who are not as welcoming unless you’re in a suit.

Excellent business hotel with hip, trendy, and unbelievably clean rooms. The furnishings and fixtures were completely spotless and the room was bright and open. Air conditioning works OK, but it takes a while to cool down the room (maybe 20 min). The washroom and shower were in wonderful condition. Wifi was the fastest I’ve had in West Africa. One of the best hotels in Abidjan - highly recommended.

Good in parts, poor in others

The biggest problem is that management for F&B is missing in action. The refill of food/cheese/fruit at breakfast was close to non-existent. There are not enough side plates and the croissants were stale as a start. The check out process was painful. I was expected to pay for any food/drinks immediately after consumption, it could not be put on the bill until checkout. I hope your stay was more pleasant than mine.
BUT the bed was comfortable, the room cleaning service was good and the ability to use a ATM almost within the hotel was appreciated.

New hotel, with everything clean and good condition. I liked that and it's fairly central location within the Plateau area. What I didn't like is the poor design of rooms and some of the service areas. There is no separation between room and toilet, the toilet is LITERALLY IN THE ROOM, just behind a glass pane which is part of the headboard. That's bad enough if you are alone in the room. It's definitely ideal for couples going out on a vacation together for the first time.I was there with my wife and we both need our privacy in the bathroom and the best we could get was a disabled room and we appreciated the staff making that \"accommodation\" to meet our preference.I really have no idea what they were thinking with that design.I spoke to other guests and no one seemed to like the idea & I suspect many of them will think twice before returning to that hotel - for that reason.Even the suites are like that!!They have 3 lovely restaurant spaces, but the open \"garden\" part of the outside section of the restaurant would be so much more appealing if it was on the rooftop, to give one a view of the lagoon. Restaurant and bar staff appeared not very knowledgeable about drinks, even coffee.For a country that produces coffee, it was disappointing to find oneself struggling so much to get a decent cup of coffee, even the coffee machine in the bar produce really poor quality coffee. This hotel has so much potential, they just need make a few changes and also train their wait staff better.

Try better hotels if there are in Abidjan

I think the hotel is a little hyped with ratings as there are no much choice in Abidjan. The room was stinking as I entered and the closet was not even flushed.I have no idea ,how it went unsupervised before checking in some one. The restaurant service was terrible , waited for 30 minutes and still no sign of coke so just left the place with embarrassed guest , who came to see us.the closest is just behind your bed with just a glass between you and the toilet while you sleep no real enclosure. over all totally disappointing.

Beware of this property. They took a copy of my passport and posted for everyone to see including other hotel guests. Although this property is in Africa, it’s own by a European who is clearly racist. Don’t waste your money or time. They’re are better hotels with better food trust me. Do your research as this hotel is in a remote location and very far from the city.
