The AC in my room was not working, and after several hours of discomfort, I was moved twice. Eventually, I went downstairs and asked to check out, but I was told I couldn’t because the reservation was made through Hotels.com. I then contacted my credit card company and am currently awaiting a refund.

It's a generally nice hotel; however - a work in progress. I was in a newer room but the aircon had stuffed tissues in the vents and the sink was largely blocked. Nice shower and otherwise generally clean. Poor breakfast choices for Western taste.

The property is centrally located which is a plus but the facilities are just average. There was nothing special about the Superior room, no added or special benefits. Save your money and get the standard room if you must.
Breakfast was basic fare. It was the same food every day. No omelette station to have eggs to order. Basic fried eggs or a basic omelette pre made and dried out. Save your money on this one also. The QR code for room service didn’t work, and never did during my stay. The AC leaked and the safe didn’t work but those were eventually remedied.
The one redeeming thing about my stay was that the staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly . The housekeeping staff were great and attentive and the front desk staff were amazing, especially Mary and Catherine.

The area is nice as many important buildings around the neighborhood. Staff were precise for the most part. Restaurant for breakfast was good. I really enjoyed the pool the most as I could do laps as a swimmer. Gym is decent- coolest part is this tiny gym has Azuma Nelson's boxing gloves. I didn't get a chance to try the Thai spa. Rooms were standard. I wish their hallways smelled nice- there was a weird smell. Could use some air freshner. Overall fine hotel.

In general our stay was enjoyable. We have stayed there before and in general we like the hotel. There were some issues with our room on arrival such as mini fridge not working and some of the lights not working but these were rectified the same day. There were no plugs/stoppers in the sink or bath and it took 2 days to rectify this which was not acceptable.

We would like to mention Elvis on reception. He was extremely helpful throughout our stay and gave us excellent service

I love the friendly tennis coach, the bar tender was nice, and the food was delicious especially the brunch, but they need to change it up every day. I like that you can get food, drinks, and outdoor patio relaxation. The pool was not available. Security was valuable. The front desk needs to be more professional, friendlier, and follow protocol. I will go back most likely because the prices are affordable! Also, you should never see mold and mildew in hotel showers.

Surpassed expectations.

This was my first visit to the Accra City Hotel since it left the previous Group. I thought it would be difficult for the Accra City Hotel to match the good standards of that previous group but in fact, the hotel team I encountered were so good, I believe they surpassed the previous quality and professionalism. My gentle challenge would be more training for (some) of the restaurant and bar staff. This challenge centres on customer care and knowledge of what is available on menus. However, the middle management were very focussed and rectified some things that could have gone wrong. The star member for me is Ms. Doris, who averted a couple of potential disappointments with the restaurant staff. Well done Accra City Hotel.

Misleading room advertising

It's not advertised that the pool is closed for renovation, which was a let down to find out after check-in. The room shown at booking is apparently not the room you get - the rooms advertised here are superior rooms and what you're booking is a basic room. Again, a let down to find out at check-in. One of the hotel receptionists even said I'm not the first person to bring this up so i'm not sure why the rooms are still being falsely advertised. My room did not look like a room in a 4 star hotel at all, with popcorn concrete walls and weird grey prison-like doors to the bathroom, toilet and bedroom area.
I do appreciate the COVID measures being taken, with handwashing and temperature checks before entry. The hotel staff was very nice and did their best to accommodate me any time there was an issue.

I stayed at this hotel in Feb 2019, just 6 months ago. The pool was out in Feb and it’s still out!! Only one lift was working and I often had to push the doors shut to get it to move. I found the food a bit expensive although tasty, I really enjoyed breakfast and it’s variety. The staff we’re helpful, especially Dinah Newton who found a hairdressers for me and advised where the nearest pharmacy was so I could get my malaria tablets which I forget to bring along.

In Feb there was a free internet phone system to call London but that’s been removed by the provider, the airport shuttle now charges but it’s a nominal fee so I didn’t mind. Finally the hotel doesn’t accept USA dollars older than 2008, so check your notes. USA dollars have the date on them, who knew????

Yes, I would stay there again as it’s quite central so a good base to walk/travel from 😊

Time to Step it up!

Van driver and waiters were great. The food was great but there should have been a better economical option for one who didn't want to stuff himself on the all you can eat buffet. I paid almost as much for a fruit bowl and coffee as my son paid for the buffet. The only costly options was the kid's meal. But the Front Desk Team were not very friendly nor helpful. Vera, if she wants to stay in the hospitality industry needs to study the word hospitable. Customer service means being nice to customers and sometimes going over and above to assist. In addition to her attitude when I questioned the condition of the room, when I needed help solving a air plane reservation she did absolutely nothing other than to point towards a computer. If she was busy all she had to do was to say, \"Please give me a minute\". Unless you want to change your name again Novotel>Accra City, you are going to have to do more at capital investment in the building and personnel

The hotel is quite old though compared to Movempick and Kempinski for example which are newer hotels however the room I stayed in was comfortable. I do think the Hotel needs to upgrade its decor soon to compete with some of the newer hotels

Having said that, I would consider staying here again. Good location and good value for money

Well. I stayed here in 2017 and enjoyed my stay. This time was just ok. I’m sure I’m not the only person a little disappointed in the overall stay. Walk into the dining area, look at the carpet, the chairs, the carts the food is setting on for breakfast? Watch as the staff, plays on their phones as you wait for coffee? My wife was actually upset with the gossip from a few women staff members as we went to be seated. She speaks the local language and evidently the staff wasn’t aware. The breakfast grill option was very good , but the meats and other options were not desirable. The juice was a disappointment, I notice a change in management at the restaurant which may be the issue. I would suggest a total remolding of the restaurant which may be coming by all the construction work going on. I really like the staff at the reception and managers at the front desk. Cleaning workers were great. I really don’t know how to rate Accra City right now, some things were great but some not so great. I had excellent help when I had to leave due to family emergency. So some parts are what I grew to expect and others not so much. If it was my hotel I would start with the restaurant. Total remodel , then some training for the breakfast staff. A better selection of breakfast meat. Some fresh juices including water bottles . A rethink of the breakfast area all together and hold the staff accountable for phone usage while customers wait.

Breakfast was very nice, though the juice selections and breakfast meats could be improved. The made to order option is exceptional. The breakfast dining room is 5 star, setting, tables and staff all were very good.
Unfortunately major pool construction was underway, but the option of movenpick ambassador hotel pool is one of the best I have seen. Again unfortunately the elevators were not performing as expected with only one working during our stay. Hot water was also an issue for the first 3 days, it was barely warm, then the 4th day it was fixed. We really like this hotel over all with the staff being one of the best in the world, and I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, United States and the Caribbean.
