This hotel was very nice, I traveled here from the USA to visit a close friend. The hotel driver Kweku picked me up at the airport late at night, despite my flight being delayed. He was very friendly. There is a staff member positioned at the front gate to ensure your safety and that no unwanted vehicles enter. The girls at the front desk were very welcoming and checked on me several times throughout my stay to make sure I was happy with my room. I got the junior suite which was simple but nice. The pool and outdoor bar area are beautiful and relaxing. The food from the restaurant was very good and the cook was very friendly. The staff even did my laundry for me which I thought was great. The hotel manager Eric was very nice, he even took me and my friend around to tourist sites that were hours away from the hotel. Everyone here really wanted to make sure I had a positive experience. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Not as expected.

I have been to this hotel on two previous occasions and found it overall to be very good but on this visit I was very disappointed.
To start with I had arranged to be collected from the airport by the hotel services and for the second time they failed to show up so had to pay for a taxi myself.
Standards have dropped dramatically and amenities have somewhat deteriorated. Food menu is good but they seldom have much that is on it.
The hotel itself is looking a bit tired and in need of some TLC and the bedrooms certainly need some tidying up as regards decor. It is a large hotel but for the first week or so I am sure that my wife and I were the only guests as the only other people I saw were staff, that should tell you something.
As I said, the staff are very good but I reserve judgement on the management, it would appear that if there are few guests then they have no intention of buying anything they can avoid. IE food.
Young staff members insist on firing up their Black Youth Music at about 7 in the morning and keeping it going full blast right up till nightfall so unless you are into that stuff avoid this hotel.
As for the room, yes there is a fridge and AC, TV, although not a lot of choice, the usual kettle and a hair dryer that cannot be used effectively because they run the cable through the base of one of the drawers so that distance is very restricted.
Too many other things to mention in this short revue but overall I would not recommend this hotel any more.

Newish hotel; impossible to find; poor service

Aknac Hotel appears relatively new, but is poorly managed. Or there is no management. The staff mean well but are clueless.
It is impossible to find the hotel -- in a maze of dirt roads. The hotel phone number the staff gave us so we could give it to a taxi driver to get directions did not work.
I was locked out of my room twice, the second time for an hour. It has cardkeys but no maintenance. It was clear after the staff got the door open the first time that the battery in the lock was low. They said they would replace the battery the next morning. I personally made the request at the front desk in the evening and again with the day staff in the morning.
When I got back, the door would not open because the battery was dead. It took an hour to find someone who could fix it.

I called a colleague in another room but she did not answer. I tried her room again from the front desk, and then decided to put a note under her door. But she was there -- she said she didn't hear the phone ring. In fact, we found there was no phone in her room!

The fan switch was hidden behind a bed headboard that was pushed flush to the wall.

The satellite TV did not work for two days.

The dining room staff just scribbled orders on scraps of paper. There was no way to check on how the order charges were transferred to the room.

A colleague had prepaid transport from the hotel to the airport but the hotel said they had never heard of it.

Another said she had a mouse in her room when she arrived.

The hotel with power and Internet issues

This hotel is ok for accra, the staff and management are very polite, however, the food takes around 1 hr from ordering and is limited on selection. Set in its grounds, the hotel is of 3 star quality despite being advertised as 4. The road to it is like a farm track, and is around 40 mins drive from the airport. The drive is full of traffic and is not lit at night, restaurants are limited. If you want a base for traveling then it's ok, but for business I don't recommend as the power fails 4 or 5 times a day, only for a few mins, and Internet is about 10% available daily.

If it was easier to get to.......

Nice hotel with a few issues, the main one is it's location.
When I say \"location\", the area is nice, it's just a bit of a trek to get anywhere like the Accra Mall. The journey, by car/taxi takes about 25 minutes if the roads are clear (which they usually are not) and costs about 25 cedi's.
The Staff are very friendly and the rooms are good, but we changed rooms twice because of more than one minor problem. Firstly the safe didn't work (room 113) which we read about on \"Trip Adviser\" from someone who had this room about 4 months before we did, so it had not been fixed in those 4 months, then room 213 which had a bad TV signal, Toilet roll holder broken & intermittent working hair dryer and poor wifi reception.
The restaurant lighting in the evening was a bit too dim, had trouble reading the menu, but the food was good.
Breakfast was good with a very obliging chef, but the waiter service was a bit hit & miss as to whether you help yourself to the tea & coffee or it was served to you at the table.
Having said all this, this is GHANA, and as such, this hotel (for the price) is good and if it had better access from the Tema to Accra Motorway or the Spintex Road, it would be packed, and our choice of Hotel in Accra

Lovely hotel miles from anywhere

I made my first visit to Ghana for a funeral in Accra and chose the Aknac as a nice looking, quiet, suburban hotel. I wasn't wrong. It's a nice hotel, suburban, and extraordinarily quiet owing to it being MILES away from anywhere. I wish my relatives had told me this before I booked. It would certainly have saved all the comments every time I had to be driven 45 minutes in and out of the back of beyond to get anywhere. Even taxi drivers complained or just refused to come that distance to pick me up. Obviously it's not the hotel's fault for being where it is. They could however stop pretending that they're just off the motorway. Yes, you can see it from your hotel balcony, just a couple of blocks away, it's just you actually have to drive five miles out to get to the nearest exit onto it.
I also have to mention this, for anyone interested in sampling the hotel pool. On my first night in the hotel I went onto the balcony (to view the motorway) and heard little splashes in the pool below. On investigating, I realised there were two toads having some kind of swimming and diving competition in and out of the pool. Refreshing. Look, it's a nice hotel, it's just got a few wee flaws, some of which it can't help. I was however in mourning, so might view things differently a second time around.

Excellent Hotel for a relaxing holiday.

I stayed at the Aknac for 11 nights, and through out the period found the staff warm and welcoming. The cleaning staff were very polite and always smiling. My room, a Junior Suite, was very spacious with a comfortable bed, a mini fridge and tea/coffee making facilities, and I had no problem with the wi-fi service. I had a slight problem with the AC in my room after a couple of days, and as soon as I reported it to the Manager I was moved into another room with a military efficiency. The Manager was very understanding and accommodating - my warmest appreciation to Justice and his team!

The hotel is very nice, but the wifi is really really bad. It only works during normal business hours which led us to believe that they were turning it off on purpose. And giving an excuse that there were technical difficulties with it. And it seems like they were doing the same thing with the tv service also. Some channels were missing and after a regular showing, the channel will all of a sudden just go off.

This hotel is a joke. Far from everything. They claim to be 20 minutes from Accra center - but it takes more than 60 minutes outside rushhours. You have to eat at the hotel, you cannot go anywhere. The whole setup is a joke. Lots of marble - and not really finished. The worst are the curtains - that lets ind in the morning sun - if you were not already awaken from the roosters who starts at 4 am. The food is ok and cheap. Service kind of ok. But the hotel is a joke. There are no costumers either. I left it - even though I prepaid. If you want a laugh - go there.

This hotel is very adequate

The hotel is along way from anywhere, it is remote, but is only 20mins from the airport, and you can find a few shops within 10mins drive.

Some reviews said this hotel is as good as a 300USD hotel nearer the centre or on the beach, this is not true it is a nice hotel, and is good value, for the price you will not be disappointed

The breakfast is ok on Ghana standards, once again is adequate.

I got a room with a pool view, very nice, and has a balcony.

The pool area looks nice, but the pool has a bad design fault, it has no shallow end, just deep end and a baby pool, in my view the worst design pool in the world, hence you will notice that virtually no one swims in it!!!

I stayed for 2 nights before flying back to UK, is ok for a very short stay, and is close to the airport.

There is also a gym, but this can only be used at certain times, and you will need an instructor

I am a very friendly and outgoing person and to give a smile and not have it returned for several days may have effected my descision in the future to return or not.

Disappointing Hotel

Always had to ask for face clothes until we finally decided to purchase our own. One face cloth that we were given appeared to have 3 blood stains. The elevator did not work until the morning we checked out. Had the \"Do Not Disturb \" sign on the door and the supervisor for cleaning people still knocked and then sent a guy in to do measurements. Trying to get 2 keys for our room was like pulling teeth. When we did the door lock failed and we gave one back. They fixed the electronic lock but broke the privacy lock on the door. Then across the hall and other places near our room there was the sound of drilling, hammering and other misc. noises. They 2nd Floor WiFi almost never worked in the room. The menu has numbers, but the staff still managed to get the order wrong. Then when it was wrong I was bothered by the food manager who was trying to sell me the wrong dish at a discount. It was cold when it came and I finally bought it just to get him off my back. And to top it off the transport to the airport made me think I was going to have to pay. Then he said it was free. They offered to give me a discount to stay our 3rd week; we declined. I would probably turn down a free stay. There was a couple of nice people that worked at the hotel; like the breakfast manager. Some of the staff are challenged when it comes to English.

The hotel is clean and the rooms are ok. The mattress is rock hard. Room service was fine. Cooked breakfast was good most times, other times omelettes were inedible. Dinner was good though some items on the menu were just never available throughout my time there. I didn't use the pool which was cleaned daily.One of the reasons I booked the hotel was the advertised internet access which was essential to me and which is included in the price.In reality, the internet was down for most of my stay, very inconvenient and not happy about that. There was a general lack of tourist information and lack of knowledge of internet access or other amenities outside the hotel which gives the impression the hotel is for the casual user somewhere just to lay your head, rather than business or tourist user. The restaurant and bar staff were pleasant and helpful. Feedback about certain issues I felt was not handled professionally. The hotel has good potential but for me, Disappointed and wouldn't stay again.

Pleasant hotel in quiet location

I quite liked being away from the hustle and bustle of central Accra, however, unless you have your own transport or driver, expect to pay 25 to 30 cedis for a taxi to central Accra, about £8.30 to £10.00. Some issues with maintenance/housekeeping i.e. broken toilet roll holder and broken towel rail on the back of the bathroom door,moved the rubber mat inside the bath to a better position and noticed the underside was filthy and black with mold; smelly fridge however that was cleaned up promptly. No laundry bags in the room or laundry price list. Take laundry to reception and they will arrange it for you, seems to be same day service if you hand it in before 10am though you need to pay in cash when laundry is delivered to you. However, overall, rooms were clean and pleasant, mattress is very hard but did not affect my sleep, bathroom is nice. Room service and breakfast very good, generally the food was good though some items were consistently not available and should have been deleted from the menu.Wifi access inconsistent, unavailable for 4 whole days but not necessarily concurrent days, other times available til midnight only though not during the day. Restaurant staff and general staff are very pleasant and helpful though some front desk staff would benefit from better training in customer service. Not sure if feedback is actually getting through, Management needs to be more involved. Hotel is adequate,not quite luxury or boutique, you may need to manage your expectations.

nice ambience

We chose this hotel because we wanted a place out of town to rest from our busy schedules and it was a great choice. The staff are very friendly and willing to help although the service was not as fast as we were used to.
I will recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet place out of town.

Wonderful cheap hotel!

Very nice, clean and pleasant hotel. Great staff. Nice pool. Quite place and very cheap comparing other hotels in Ghana.
Only issue is a distance of 20-30min from airport area. But if you plan your time,there is not a big issue!

Excellent - especially internet

Aknac hotel is an lounge style hotel with a nice cent of Africa. It has a theme of white with some black, especially velvet black. It's all clean and polite staff.

AirCon are everywhere, powercuts may happen for a 1 minute a couple of times a day. All rooms has fans, fridge, aircon, safe, work desk, tv, and excellent bed and bathroom. The hotel is located in a fancy to be developed area, so there are not so much to do or look at, exept than half contructed buildings.

Internet is working well - Visited to extreme upper class hotels closer to Accra city centre and their internet was not as good and not as easy to log-on to. The internet useability of Aknac help make it feel like home. Once you were close to the hotel building you are logged on to one of thier wi-fi points.

What to know before you book...

We checked in here after great reviews from other guests. While the room was satisfactory, the dining experience was quite disappointing. The included breakfast is not consistant - some days there was a good selection, other days no coffee and no butter!! Can you imagine a hotel without butter in the restaurant? Dinner menu entrees sound good but when you order you get something entirely different. And, inquiring about changes and preparations, simple non english speakers merely say \"this is the way it comes\". Also, be aware that the menu and wine list are merely examples of what they MIght have. Most items not available.
Front desk staff was very helpful. Internet was down every night for unexplained reasons.
Lastly, while this might be a good hotel to 'get away' it is not convenient at all to downtown Accra - our taxi ride was over an hour to town.

Disappoiting

They have great pics, that makes you think that the Hotel is great.
The staff is wonderful, just like Ghanaian people usually are, but the distance from the town and specially the often lack of energy and internet make this hotel very very disappoiting....
ANd what should I say about the cleanliness? Cockroach in my room....

great hotel to relax at

Hotel was great from the moment we were collected from the airport in a complimentary taxi. Checked in at 11pm very hot. Just mentioned to my wife that I was thirsty and two drink arrived from the bar. Bar and restaurant service is irritatingly slow but seems to be normal practice in Ghana. Accra was a 30 minute taxi ride away but we did a deal with the taxi driver who collected us from the airport and used him each time. Overall, a great hotel if you done need to be within walking distance of central Accra.

Is a prison and wrongly named a four-star hotel

I'm a frequent traveler and staying in this, what's called \"Aknac hotel\", was the worst experience in my life.

Good, clean, pleasant hotel

Rooms clean and service good with very friendly staff, kitchen/dining; maids & reception. Shower, air conditioning, food and pool all good overall providing a very pleasant relaxing stay. The only downside is the distance from the centre as often traffic is very busy but this is not something the hotel staff can control. If being close to the centre is important then perhaps this is not the best place but otherwise highly recommended.

It was okay. The hotel rooms could do with a bigger TV and probably better tv channels. Dstv is recommended

Away from city noise; good for studies, meditation

The quiet environment was very suitable for my studies. Their tables and chairs can be better. The hotel staff help to call up taxis, though ample notice will ensure the arrival of the taxi on time.

Quiet neighbourhood far away from anything

It was OK. I met the owner who was very receptive about my comments and she did something about it. I would stay there again if it was not so far away from the office from where we operate. Friendly staff and service.

This is not a 4 star

The staff were great. The hotel rooms are small with little or no furniture. Choices on the food menu where restricted with some items not avaliable for the whole two weeks I spent there. The lift was out of service the whole time as well. The pictures on the internet look very good but you will be disapointed if you expect what you see. The pool is not cleaned daily and I could not smell any chlorine in the water. The hotel is OK but it is most certainly not a 5 star. Maybe a 2/3 stare with 5 star prices.

Over rated hotel

Could be but is far from a 4 star hotel more like a 2 star
Location is poor taxis needed to go anywhere
Accomodation is poorly put together
Must have Visa card although it does take Mastercard when the machine works
Took 4 hours to try and pay my bill with Visa ok but I had Mastercard
Has potential the staff are very helpful
My Junior Suite was spacious and thats the only thing going for it plus the aircon

Nice and friendly

Very nice hotel but it is off the beaten track - not easy to get to and it's away from any of the interesting places in Accra. Hotel staff are very helpful, though, to get you where you want to go. TERRIFIC internet connection, beautiful pool, nice rooms. Food is good quality but service is VERY slow - especially the bar.

An oasis in Accra

I enjoyed very much my 9 day stay at the Aknac Hotel in the neighborhood of Trassaco in Accra, Ghana. The personnel were all outstanding, from the reception desk to the room cleaning crew. The only area where we find that improvements can be made is in the handling ot laundry service. In addition, the hallways in the second and third level could benefit from a better ventilation system to prevent kitchen odors to find their way to the hallways.
