This is a great option in Cotonou. It is conveniently located not far from the airport, with a free shuttle. The hotel itself is comfortable and modern, with a nice restaurant and a connected coffee shop and bar. The staff is really exceptional, very helpful and accommodating. All in all, it's a great choice.

Would lodge here again. Staff was attentive, friendly and very helpful. Communications were prompt and effective. Asked for late check-out and it was done without any hastle. Free Shuttle too/from airport with clear directives were a plus. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Special thanks to the breakfast crew, guards, and reception staff. Djabi cafe next door was consistently good and the ladies were extra friendly and serviced customers with personal care. Mr Gerard was on top with all aspects of customer service from airport arrival through departure. Hotel is Conveniently located. Thank you

Absolutely excellent. Great staff everywhere. The local employees from Cotonou were the very best in courtesy, willingness to assist and offer information. Only one white woman who apparently is “boss” was rude by speaking rudely to an employee that was helping me when she interrupted us and gave him her keys and ordered him to go bring things from a car… employee was very professional and finished his assistance to me before moving on.

Staff went above and beyond making me and my son have the best experience ever. Food was amazing. Restaurant staff were amazing. Pool and all surrounding were in great condition.

Security was professional and welcoming.

My new favorite hotel. And I used to go to the Sheraton that became the Sofitel… the GOLDEN TULIP LE DIPLOMATE exceeded all my expectations. My son and I will go there again on our next trip.

Its walking distance to the Dahomey statue and Heritage Wall. The U.S. embassy is directly across the street and other ministry offices. My only dislike about the franchise of the hotel is their very firm beds.

OK, but restaurant is below expectations

Rooms are fine, and good location.
But the major drawback is the restaurant. Quality is fine, but lower than expected for such a hotel. Buffet are fine, but nothing that really makes you willing to go for dinner.
A la carte are ok, but takes a long time to arrive.
However all personnel are very nice, and always ready to help.

The room was fine. The restaurant was limited in options. The service was poor. The helpers and servants need training in hospitality. They should not look to rush customers and clients to grab their handbags and close doors for them.

This hotel did not inform guests about amenities that were not available during our stay. The manager was extremely combative when confronted with the issue that advertised amenities (such as the pool) were not available for guest use. The rooms are extremely loud due to being able to hear everything in the room next door.

While amenities can sometimes not be available, this was all made worse by the way management handled the situation, which included lying to us about what was and was not available. It was so awful we wound up leaving a day early to move to another hotel after the manager all but told us to leave.

Top tier customer service

Would stay here any day!! Our best lodging this whole trip, customer service was on point. They took good care of us. I gave room service my baby bottles to wash every morning. I wish we stayed longer!! Breakfast has a vast variety of options and they have an airport shuttle!

In terms of WiFi tho very trash, I would be connected and would have to disconnect in order for anything to load on my phone. I feel like they should be able to do better with the WiFi.

There is a very varied buffet three times a day. Quality and variety of the food is outstanding. The staff is very pleasant attentive helpful without being in your face. The surroundings are very pleasant and very clean. They really take the sanitary precautions of Covid very seriously. Really nothing much that we didn’t like. Our room a standard room was spacious with a clean and modern bathroom. Bravo

Les nouvelles habitudes liées au covid n'ont rien enlevé à l'hospitalité de l'équipe, bien au contraire.
Merci pour les petites attentions, le cadre toujours au top et les bons repas qui font de chaque séjour une belle escapade 😉

The place is really neat and all,but if you dont speak French do not go there, you will be mostly ignored by almost all of them ,their customer service to foreigners that aint French are terrible. I thought it was only happening to us but as we were about to check out the hotel i see other people there that were complaining aslo, if you dont speak French they will give you wrong orders and delay you,attend to other people and ignore you, i can never go there ever again ,i was planning to stay for a week but after 2days of bad treatment, starving because i cant get my food order right ,i had to leave to another hotel. I know golden tulip hotel is good ,ive been to many good branches in different countries, just this particular one or maybe the country that is terrible to non French speaking customers. Then all the workers will try to cheat you if you are not understanding the currency very well.

Cotonou Business Trip

Golden Tulip is a very night hotel with an amazing friendly and professional staff. We stay there quite a bit and the many of the staff are the same from more than one year ago. They make us feel at home.

A nice escape in Cotonou

The hotel is one of the nicest in Cotonou. The pool area is clean and well-maintained. The lobby and restaurant are clean, open and inviting. The guest rooms are quiet, cool and dark - however our bed did have a pretty annoying squeak. The service at the restaurant, especially when sitting outside, could use some improvement (we had to ask for a menu twice). Overall though, the staff are friendly and attentive and most of them are English speakers as well.

good business hotel

good hotel. its a little pricey for what it is, but since they are the only real business hotel left in Cotonou they can charge what they like. the rooms are great, service is good, internet works reliably. Food is ok. I'd say eat out and not in the hotel. There is a pool but it's enclosed by walls so not very pleasant. Stay here because you need a reliable business hotel, not because you want to hang out here.

Je suis arrivé à 15h30, aucune chambre de disponible. Alors que le checkin est à partir de 14h
En revanche, Personnel serviable, chambre agréable et services au top.
Attention au restaurant, j'ai pris un tartare de thon et j'ai eu tous les symptômes d'une scombroidose (intoxication à l'histamine suite à une mauvaise conservation du thon)
Il faut donc éviter le cru dans le restaurant de l'hôtel
