This hotel is conveniently located very near the airport and is ok, but not great. The rooms are nothing special, and a bit on the shabby side, but clean. The service, however, is pretty bad. You only get one small bottle of water in your room, regardless of the number of people, for the entire length of your stay, and... More

We stayed here for 3 nights this past wkend at one of the bangalow rooms and what a nightmare!! The hotel rooms are old but decent. The thing that pissed me off more than anything else is the housekeeping... or lack of. On one of the days, we had to call them to clean the room - don't mind that... More

Extremely overpriced for what is offered. All the hotel needs maintenance. Staff service it is not particularly friendly. Good location for Job, really close to the airport, but completely isolated. Food is decent.

I like to start with positive things, so here we go. I found the French staff very friendly, despite my lack of communication skills. They at least pretended to listen to my questions and, most of the time, gave me what I wanted. The food is good, both breakfast and dinner, and the service there was good as well. I... More

Rooms are pretty basic and old, but decent. Pool and common areas are very nicely decorated and the restaurants are of good quality. They have several services in the hotel itself, but if you want to get out of the place, the options are either overpriced hotel transportation, motorcycle taxi (very easy to get from the gate), or just waiting...

It's a place in Cotonou in Benin Republic where luxury is given to you before you demand. Spacious and good for outdoor gathering.

For sure i didn't expect so much for this old hotel previously managed by Starwood. However, i haven't been really surprised by what i've had.... The property is quite well located along the beach but it's not really recommended to walk along the ocean cause it's pretty unsafe. Prefer the pool if you wanna relax even if the pool longers...

Hotel Marina is a lovely hotel in Benin Republic. It has spacious rooms, nice reception, nice bar and more importantly, a swimming pool you won't want to miss. Its passage to the beach makes the beach a stroll away and being an International Hotel, you wont lack culture from all over. The buffet keeps the meals simple and interesting and... More

Was very disappointed with the management of this hotel. My credit card was charged weeks after I left (and had already settled the bill) for more than 100 dollars. I called the hotel every day for several weeks and was not able to resolve this unauthorized charge on my card. I was always told someone would call or email me... More

The Benin Marina used to be a Sheraton (before I started going to Benin). So, I never knew it when it looked like the Sheraton. Right now it's a 2.5 star hotel. The carpet smells, but the hotel is conveniently located across our office in Benin.
