Hotel berhampiran SDG DIEU BENI OLGA, Lome

We went during the week so it was nice and quiet. The food was delicious, the service was great, and we loved being on the beach. The garden is well tended, the emoyees were very friendly and helpful. It atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. We even enjoyed swimming in the ocean. We swam during low tide otherwise one must be very careful to watch for the beach break; it can be dangerously powerful. We will definitely go back!

Rooms: The rooms are above average. Modern, new, clean. Two issues. When it rained, a good bit of water leaked into the rooms onto the floors and soaked the bottom of the curtains. This is clearly a known problem that has not been addressed. The curtains have a bit of a mildew smell from the water. The windows also are quite dirty plus filled with bird poop, and could use a good cleaning. Rooftop: Beautiful, good service and stunning views of the city. Perfect place to relax in the evening. Pool: The pool area is too small and there is not enough seating. There also are not enough pool towels. Also, there are no tables to eat/drink outside at the pool. Just the pool beds/loungers. The nice thing about the pool, however, is that it is very warm. Perfect temperature! And the pool beds that swing are a nice addition and very relaxing. Food: This is where the hotel fails. The food/beverage offerings do not make sense. Our room rate included breakfast, but the breakfast offerings were almost non-existent. We asked for tea, and were told they only offer green tea and mint tea. Odd! No black tea is served in this hotel at any time of the day? Most people want caffeine at breakfast. Most hotels even put black tea in the rooms. No breakfast meats: bacon, sausage, etc. The ”fruit platter” consisted of one apple. I ordered the mini-burgers for lunch which was supposed to be 4 mini-burgers, I was served one large burger and told I could cut it into 4 pieces. Finally, you cannot order wine by the glass anywhere in the hotel. They only sell wine by the bottle. Why? What if someone is traveling alone and just wants a glass of wine with dinner. No, you can't have that. It is a silly policy. Service: Service is very slow at the restaurant. Each time, we waited almost an hour for food, including breakfast. At their price point, I would recommend staying at Fevrier and visiting Ioka's rooftop instead.

This hotel is phenomenal in some ways and ok in others. I would still 100% recommend staying here. We stayed 2 different 1 night stays during a 2 week trip through Ghana, Togo and Benin. The pros: Excellent service Very clean, spacious, gorgeous rooms. Delicious breakfast buffet. The Cons: Our first night, I lowered the AC and ended up tossing and turning. Realized when I woke up, thay the AC wasn't working. If I hadn't been so tired from a long day of travel, I probably would have noticed before falling asleep. There are 2 of us traveling, and both nights in the 2 different rooms only had 1 towel. Both times we had to call for a second towel...our reservations specifically indicated there were 2 of us. Check-in is very slow.
