AC barely functioned to cool the room and at 1am a chunk of ice fell into the fan causing a loud noise that shocked me out of bed. At the restaurant, it took 6 hours to bring change to my room, which arrived at 10pm while I was asleep for an early flight. The highlight was the shuttle that left on time.

Checking wasn’t profesional at all, having worked as a hotel receptionist and reservation myself I was expecting a basic level of professionalism. We weren’t greeted upon arrival by the receptionist, we were only asked whether we had paid for the booking, we had to ask the lady if there was anything we needed to know she said no. Then I proceder to ask about our room number, check out time, breakfast times and other information once should be provided with when checking-in a hotel. It did not stop there, once we got to the room there was only one towel, on bottle of water despite having a twin room for two people. Cleanliness was nonexistent, the room and bathroom were full of long hair everywhere, the shower was dirty, bed sheets had stains. Overall, i would not recommend this hotel

Just Ok...nothing special.
The staff here was nice, and helpful, but the pictures of this place online make it look nicer than it is. Should have been about 2/3rds the cost it was for the age and condition of the hotel....relative to others in the airport area.

Overnight near the airport
Francis is a wonderful host and gentleman and will go out of his way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel is very near the airport and in a quiet area. My impression was that the hotel is slowly being built up to be 4 star establishment one day - but it is still in process. You will be comfortable but for a business traveller used to European 3/4 star this will be similar to a 2 star hotel you are normally used to. But try it - it is excellent value for money, friendlier staff you will not find anywhere and it is clean, although not new.

Standard Hotel
The hotel is generally clean, the hotel staff is friendly and the WIFI is stable. However. breakfast menu options are limited and would need to be improved on. On arrival there was no safe in the room and it long for me to get one. In terms of toiletries they are not consistent in replacing.

Very nice hotel close to the Airport and Embassy
My family and I secured two rooms following several weeks travel throughout Ghana. The hotel was a perfect respite prior to our departure. We were greeted by Francis, who I believe is the hotel manager. He is very pleasant and worked to make sure our experience was enjoyable. We had dinner and breakfast both at the hotel. The food was excellent, particularly the Indian food (the Chef is Indian). It took 7 minutes to get to the airport at 7:30 in the morning, so it is very close. The rooms are quite as it is not located on a main road. We could certainly stay here again.

Practical Choice
As a frequent traveler to Ghana, I have had the chance to stay in many hotels. The mere fact that you can have the choice to stay in a place that gives you the feeling of warmth and comfort at an attractive rate make gives a good experience. I am happy with my choice, plus added extras like the free airport shuttle and connection to the city and airport.

Nice friendly hotel in a good location.
I only spent one night in the hotel, I was picked up promptly at the Airport and arrived at the hotel which is only 10 minutes away from the Airport. The location makes it easily accessible to most destinations. The rooms were very clean, the staff nice and friendly and the meals and service from the restaurant was good. I had a pleasant nights' stay in the hotel and would recommend this hotel to others.

Staff at reception and bar were simply great.
The drive from the airport was exciting as the driver by name Bashiru highlighted areas of interest in Accra and safe hours . At the reception Sam and Hannah made me feel at home with the care and attention needed for my room.Prince at the bar updated me on all the fun places to visit in the heart of the city. Meals tasted good and later learnt the Chef was Indian with experience from three continents. Will be my first choice of visit anytime and also recommend to friends.

not so good at all when i reached the hotel they informed me that the hotel is fully booked and they don;t have a reservation for me , when they saw the confirmation they told me that they will move me to sister hotel which was really much better and really very new big clean room the second day i went to the reception to pay the remaining fees where they told me that they collected my luggage from the other hotel and get it to that one without even calling me or even sending me an email , they put my staff in a room where the AC was not working then moved to another room where the bed sheets was yellow

Could have provided more information on arrival but may have been as I was a day late. Room looks nicer and more modern on website photos needs bit modernised. Staff are very nice though and cook fresh eggs to order for breakfast, however when the young ones on their own less tentative and on occasions too busy making food for themselves than paying guests. My only complaint as would go back.

Lovely hotel inside and out.
Clean room, clean public spaces, nicely decorated. Clean linens, nice bathroom with shampoo and bath gel, ample towels, AC worked. Check in staff very friendly and efficient. Restaurant staff needs training in efficiency. Nice breakfast buffet. Dinner menu lacking most of the listed items. I have stayed here before and I will again. Compared to similarly priced hotels in Accra, this one is a stand-out. Close to airport and shopping. My only complaint is the bedside lamps had no bulbs. Decoration rather than function. Am I the only one who wants to read in bed?

Two-week stay in July, 2015.
Very nice, very helpful staff. Excellent restaurant, although the menu should be shorted to only the items regularly available. Still, I ate nearly all my meals there and don't regret one. The room was comfortable but generic. The gym had usable equipment, but was in a windowless basement room and smelled like mildew. Either move the gym or put a few fans down there. The pool was great as well. Taxis will charge extra if the hotel calls them for you.

Good staff. We had two main issues. Internet connectivity was out for 1 of the 3 days we were there. Also we had booked two twin beds and they gave us one king. They fixed this for days 2 and 3 and gave us a discount on the rooms. Good staff, good restaurant.

Nice Hotel .Badly managed.
The room i reserved wasn't actually ready until 9pm. The room was for 2 people. One coffee cup. One water glass. No plug in sink -therefore the nice-looking bath/juccuzzi was pointless. I was asked if i wanted anyone to come and clean my room- after i'd been there a matter of hours! - Whats that all about ?

Disappointed in tripadvisor for recommendation.
Room not ready upon arrival. Moved to correct room next day. No water two separate days. Food expensive and the portions are very small. The bed linen comes off while you sleep. The towels were very hard. When they clean your room they turn the a/c off, when you return it is very hot. The gym is about the size of two closets and no a/c. The continental breakfast was an omelet, Belgian waffles, toast, juice and coffee. No ice when needed...I visited several other hotels while there....totally different for the same price. Great amenities and so much more to offer.

Clean rooms, clean bathrooms, clean linens, good breakfast, good dinner menu, friendly staff. The front desk was able to check us in with no hassle, even though I forgot to print up my Expedia booking conformation. That was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely stay here again. (French toast for breakfast!!!)

Good service but disappointing in other ways
This is not a hotel in the conventional Indian sense - its more of a guest house. Definitely not worth the 150 dollars +. The rooms are largish but you dont get the hotel feel. They are a bit run down, I changed rooms but was disappointed in both. They give one small bottle of complementary water - which is sad and there is no mini bar or fridge in the room. The restaurant is okay but exorbitantly priced and the service is very slow. There is free wifi. My reommendation is that you will get the novotel or the holiday inn for a similar price - take the holiday inn which is next to the mall.

The hotel is clearly over priced. I booked a two bedroom suite but got two separate rooms though with apologies. Imagine what that would do to a family holiday. The "buffet" breakfast was more limited than I'd ever seen. The chef tried to help but then he could only work with what he had.

Pretty hotel, delicious breakfast
Nicely located, pretty and interesting interior and exterior décor, nice use of stone walls outside. Room was clean, clean linens, nice balcony. AC, TV, and fridge in the room functioned properly. There was a functioning bedside lamp, too! And the lights and water heater worked in the bathroom. Water pressure for shower was pretty good. (Keep in mind, this is Ghana, and such simple things are a joy to have.) The interior decor everywhere was interesting, with fresh use of color and textured paint on the walls. You can tell that care was taken in designing and decorating the place. Staff friendly and efficient. Breakfast was a nice surprise, with freshly made waffles that were tender inside and crispy outside. Fresh squeezed pineapple juice was a treat. Dinner of grilled lobster was well done and good sized portions. I have been looking for a place to stay regularly when I travel to Accra (I live I Cape Coast) and I think this will be the place. It is close to the airport, close to good grocery chopping (Koala and Marina Mall) and not too hard to get to The Shoprite at Accra Mall. It is very close to the US Embassy, if you have business there. I would definitely stay here again.

Building site or Hotel?
Arrived for a two night stay in mid-September, and after arranging with the hotel a pick up from airport in advance and re-confirming the day before, found no-one waiting to send me to the hotel. When i called the hotel, I was ultimately informed how sorry the hotel is but 'could i get a taxi and they would refund it'..... Then on check out day my room phone rang at 6.30am only for the person calling to advise me 'it's OK, i found what i was looking for'..... I assume the receptionist was the one calling...... Definately not worth $185/night. Once arrived, found the hotel is undergoing a major renovation with workmen, rubble and dust everywhere. On the plus side, when renovations / reconstruction is finished, the hotel will probably be 'OK', with big comfortable rooms and decent restaurant menu is served.

Mindindi, Accra, Ghana
Having worked in Africa extensivly I was quite at home in this little hotel. Please do not come over from the western world expecting this to be a London 4*, because you will not find it so. There were a few teething problems with room etc but all quickly rectified. The Hotel is simple (Gym does not exist-yet). However, it is clean, the rooms are more than adequate for a wash and sleep, the staff are very friendly, security is good, food is perfactly acceptable, its in a good location between ariport and centre of Accra. GREAT Value for money compared to other western hotel names in the city. Go with an open mind, understand that the mini bar will not be full, the bar might run out of beer and the show gel pot is only half full and you will have a good stay.

Great hotel in Ghana
This is Ghana. Or rather, this is one part of Ghana. Point is, you really need to adjust your expectations. Comparing this to a high end American or European hotel will leave you disappointed, but not by too much. I found this hotel very likable. The staff was friendly and reasonably attentive. Samuel, the bartender, was my best friend (in a positive way, not a "please give me more money way"!). He was really great. I forget the owner's name, but he was nice too. I was comfortable there. I liked my room, I found the internet quite decent (and apparently that's a big deal in Ghana). I did have an ant problem at first, but they solved that for me the next day. I can't speak for what other Accra hotels are like, but I can say that I would not hesitate to stay at Midindi again. In a way, I miss my nights having very good dinners up in the bar there. Speaking of food, the food cooked at Midindi is incredibly good. It can be VERY spicy, but it is really really good! In the two weeks I was there, I only at elsewhere once.
