I have visited Ghana a few times for long projects and stayed in quite a few different places throughout the country. When in Accra I always stay here. The view is stunning, the staff are incredibly helpful - they even picked me up from the airport at midnight after my flight was delayed by 6 hours, had arranged my ticket... More

Not a 5 star hotel but definitly one of the best place to stay in accra for backpackers! friendly staff, good food, beach acces (altough you wont wanna go for a swim) but still the sea breeze is nice! Just a very mellow place where you feel miles away from the crazy city that is accra! Enjoy id love to... More

The Rising Phonix has turned into The Falling Phonix. Rooms are worn out, furniture is broken, toilet is filthy, most staff are tired. And there are too guys hanging around smoking... The restaurant menu and receptionist Brown are though very nice. But since everything else is long gone. We don't recommend going here.

We stayed for two nights at The Rising Phoenix before leaving from Accra. The guesthouse is centrally located and an easy walk to banks, food, historical parts of the city (such as Jamestown, lighthouse), shopping, tro-tros, etc. This is probably your best budget-hotel bet for an ocean view. The rooms are small, but affordable. We stayed in the "cheapest" shared... More

What a disappointment! We spend new years here and were expecting a nice hotel by the ocean. The common area (restaurant etc) looked ok, a little neglected, but it's Ghana. The room was absolutelly awfull and crappy! I've never stayed in a worse room than this. It was dirty, small, the fan was hardly of any use and everybody can... More

I stayed in Rising Phoenix Magic Beach Resort for two weeks in November 2012. Positive: - Very nice staff, commited to providing a very good service, despite the difficulties (Thanks Joseph, Ruth, and all others) - Great food, even if you are not vegetarian (try 'Red Red', 'Rice with Kontomire sauce', or 'Rice with curry vegetable sauce') - Good strategical...

I have just returned from a trip to Accra and stayed for 2 nights in this hostel. The room I had was very noisy due to the waves crashing into the cliff edge and it appeared that the staff used the space just outside the room as a meeting place which created more noise at 5am which was not that...

I stayed here August 2012 with a group of Peace Corps volunteers - we are used to "roughing it" but the hotel accommodations were terrible, even for us. There were 4 of us and we got a room with two large beds in it. The room was so small that the 4 of us could not all stand up in... More

We stayed just two nights here but wished we had booked a few more. The Rising Phoenix is in Ushertown, not far from James Town, in Accra. The hotel is right on the cliffs edge and the morning views are great. The owner is very helpful and friendly as was Cesar who works at the hotel as a guide showing... More
