Highgate Hotel

Arrived after an immensely long flight from Australia to find a shabby tired room with no drinking water and no toiletries. Decided to have a hot shower to ease the aches and pains - funny- I can't seem to get any hot water -cold water is however very generously supplied 2 days later - no toilet paper....there's a challenge! Went to reception to ask for water and toilet paper - first time I've ever had to beg in public for toilet paper - what a 'customer experience' - hurrah! Staff quite rightly formed a view that I was being unreasonable and somehow it was my fault....(I guess I should have used my left hand?) Silly of me really to expect that toilet paper and drinking water would be supplied -what was I thinking! Promo material says: Toiletries - err - no Hair dryer - err - no Fully stocked minibar - err - no Hot water - err - no - expect a cold shower Clean linen - err - no Bottled water- err -no Well, don't be too harsh, let's have dinner! beef pineapple curry - what could possibly go wrong? . Thankfully not a pineapple to be seen and if I liked gristle it would have been perfect. This could actually be a cool boutique hotel if: A- someone spent some money on it B- staff gave a s**t As it is: it is a nasty low budget flea pit. If that's your thing then you're in for quite a treat.

This I a great place for quite timebifbyou on business trip..WiFi is great..nice coast restaurant/bar area. Food in general...its 99% local dishes...and breakfast has no options same everyday. Price is very affordable

A friendly and comfortable hotel for my first time in Ghana. Richard and his team made us feel very welcome during our visit, and all the staff were fantastic and happy to help. The bedroom was air conditioned with a comfortable bed and enough room for all my gear (though a few more hangers might be good). Food in the restaurant was pretty good too. I'd recommend the goat and pepper soup with fufu and the fish stews were great. A bit more fresh fruit would be great at breakfast (especially the pineapple). The beer in the bar was cold and I'd go for the Club brand, rather than Star. I think the DJ had a Kenny Rodgers obsession, but I can appreciate that! All in all, a great place and hopefully I'll be back soon.
