Independence Square Tours

Villa Monticello is home away from home. The rooms a clean and spacious. The members of staff are courteous and pleasant. Irene has been exceptional.

The staff was courteous, the amenities were good. The place was very clean as well. The bedsheets however were threaded, which makes for an uncomfortable experience. One expects that when one is paying a whole lot of money, there is some tea / coffee which is made available. Do not choose the breakfast option because choices are limited and the breakfast is not that great in terms of taste. The advantage however is that the breakfast is delivered to your room which is quite perfect. The staff was nice enough to extend my checkout by one hour. The apartment in which I was staying in had a balcony which I paid extra for but very small balcony. Also, Accra is too hot- so balcony is not really a nice addition anyway. Do not pay extra for this. The location is closeby to a lot of places so that is an advantage- everything is at a 15 minute drive given the Accra traffic, which is quite great. The apartment is however NOT sound proof. I could hear if people were talking outside in the hallway or if they were coming out. For someone who has noise issues, this was terrible especially when I was writing or sleeping. In addition, there was drilling work happening through 11 am to 2 pm. I complained about it and while they apologized, it did not stop until I presume the work was finished. I realise that these things happen but it was a bummer especially because I was there for a staycation, and I needed to catch up on my sleep, rest and recuperate.
