The hotel is nice enough, but it's pretty basic. The a/c went off in the middle of the night and never came back on, when we tried to call the desk about the a/c we discovered that the phone in the room wasn't connected to anything. The restaurant is nice enough and breakfast is ok, but the service is very... More

I stayed here for two and a half weeks and felt right at home. The staff were extremely friendly and did attend to my needs. I met a great guy who worked for the concierge and he literally looked after me on trip. Even down to buying my phone credit or bargaining with taxis which is definitely needed in Accra.... More

Stay here if you plan on not being in the room for more than just your sleep! Also, i woke up in the AM with... More

In August 2009 I wrote a very complimentary review of this hotel, saying "If you're in Accra on business, stay here." I can't say that any more. The manager from that time appears to have gone and with him has gone the constant checking on service levels. Now, service is very poor. If you want to eat outside, you're ignored... More

Small hotel, very friendly, slightly out of town, but nice. No elevator – and I was on the top (4th floor) – so I trolled up and down the stairs – but kept me in shape as I think Ghanaian food (while delicious) is very fattening. Nice small area outside to work in if needed. As the hotel was fully... More

Stayed at the Highgate for a night after arriving in Accra (we were headed to Kumasi for work the next day). I booked based on proximity to the airport and other travelers' recommendations. All in all, I'd say it was okay - I gather that hotels in Accra are quite expensive for what you get, so I wasn't surprised, but... More

Researched a lot of hotels before our trip and decided on Highgate Hotel. Great choice. It is a little bit away from the thick of things which isn't a bad thing. Osu is a 10 Cedi ride away. Our room is huge by most standards especially for $165 a night. Rooms are clean. There is some mildew around the rim... More
