This hotel outshines most others in the same range - 3 star??? I recommend it and would come back. Though I used my personal bedsheets (always do in hotels), the beddings in Nototel pass the test. Good: 1. Clean and quiet rooms 2. Nice meals with reasonable variety to select from 3. Beautiful and clean swimming pool - no enrty... More

Last morning someone tried to get into my room, luckily I had the chair in front of it and the chain on and they could not get in.... The TV was on and the do not disturb sing was on the door. No one said it was staff and I did not open the door, until I left. Had this... More

The Novotel is probably the flagship hotel in Cotonou. It is quiet, close to the airport and secure. The rooms are a decent size and everything seems to work well.

this hotel is close to the airport, clean, great internet connection, excellent breakfast and gorgeous pool. It is also only a short walk to the beach. Rooms were lovely and the bed comfortable. Loads of hot water. If you have to stay in Cotonou, I highly recommend this spot.

This five star hotel does not provide value for money and lacks quality assurance. Rooms show signs of lack of maintenance, towels are worn out. Staff at the reception is forgetful and only service oriented on the surface. On 8 nights of stay two were without airconditioning. Horrible in the hot and humid climate in rooms without the alternative of... More

So lets be frank, this hotel is never going to win awards. But, it's in Benin - hardly the centre of the universe - and given the challenges of operating in West Africa this place does a reasonable job. Some pro's :- 1. English speaking staff 2. Rooms perfectly clean and comfortable, albeit not over the top luxury (it is... More
