Hotels Near Lighthouse Chapel Intl - Old Barrier in Ga West

I stayed here for my first week from the 25th March 2022. I was very happy with the service and the area. Somethings from my room were not complete, for example having my own sofa which was of inconvenience when my guests arrived but my host made sure I was comfortable and promised to look after me the next time. I was happy to come back after my trip from Kumasi. However everything went down hill. Room was disorganised, broken curtains, bed made was incomplete, low/no wifi. Ceiling mould and damp. Made a compliant in which the maintenance team attended and informed me they were trying to gain access in the afternoon but no one was in. Bear in mind I had not received any phone calls or messages about this. Furthermore, I explained the room is no fit condition to be receiving guests and should be fixed first, this was not a matter of completing it in the afternoon that I checked in! Rubbish! One of the workers agreed and also made it known to the maintenance team she had been complaining about this room for a while. They moved me to a temp room for the night. With weak/very limited wifi, some stained walls, broken shower, sticky toilet bin lid and the toilet making loud and long flushing noises. I moved in total four times. They also gave me a room with stained bed sheets and scaffolding in which workers would be walking across my balcony. With the help of my old host and a nice lady, I got a lovely apartment. The host, required payment but did not want to do an online bank transfer, did not have a card machine. So I paid via World Remit money in which money was taken out of my account but her transactions was not cleared. She wanted me to pay again, in which I told her I will not be paying twice, she will have to wait until the refund is cleared. I had to request for a refund (took 3 working days), was also being chased for full payment for the moulded room. House keeping forgot to lock my room. At this point I was fed up. I asked for some negotiation in having a late check out as my flight departed late at night and with everything I had dealt with before, this was by passed and not even considered. I was then charged the highest exchange rate which meant i was paying more (they say different agents use different exchange rates). This meant I was given the host/agent nearly £94 extra which is around about/over 800 GHC. For all the lack of customer service, sympathy and them always chasing me for payments like I was a criminal. I will not be coming back again! I honestly wish I left my experience at week one, rather than returning back to end my stay in Ghana. If you want a modern place , great location/pool side views, lots of tourists etc, stay there. I expected way more for up-keeping and maintenance. Highly disappointed with round two stay at Embassy Gardens.

Not easy To find, but once there, I was surprised by thé lovely nest. Thanks To Dennis who gave me the addreses Where I could find easily What I wanted To buy. My stay was very Perfect.The room was big enough, with a coffee maker and a basket full of coffee etc.

I stayed in one of the rooms which was clean, had AC, light and running water. Wifi works throughout the whole area. The food was a very positive surprise - the reasonably priced vegetarian avocado sandwiches and wraps were so tasty that I ordered a second round. The breakfast was also nice, if not large it contained bread with several types of jam, several tropical fruits and some smoothie which was sufficient to stay the day. There is a fridge where one can put some food/drinks subject to space and they have clean tap water in the sink. The pool works fine but is somewhat small and more to cool yourself than to swim. Staff is very nice and the area is safe with gated walls. Most balconies are on the street side and there is some sound but not more than one should expect when living in a bigger city. The location is close to the airport and reasonably close to the city center although not on walking distance to the main sights. There are many backpackers and travelers staying at the site making it a good hub if you are interested in connect with others for travel. All in all this seems to be one of the better options for those seeking hostel type stays in Accra.

This is a really nice little hotel, well located. The room I had was a lovely suite with effective air conditioning to counter the humidity and plenty of space. a couple of small oddities such as no plus on the kitchen surface which means the kettle or coffee machine needs to be put on the floor to use them and the smoking area right outside the door but otherwise I was really happy with it and also found the small restaurant perfectly sufficient. Only when checking out did it all go wrong, the day prior to checking out I had requested an airport transfer and the lady at reception had confirmed this was booked and had written it down. I had once again asked the lady behind the counter on the check out day to confirm it was booked and she confirmed it was. I was therefore rather surprised, as I waited outside the reception with my case, ready to be picked up, for the porter to come out and ask whether i would prefer top wait an hour, which I did not. he went inside, returning after a few minutes and said there was no car available. I went inside and explained once again that i had booked a transfer and had it confirmed. Another lady appeared and said no booking had been made and perhaps I should get an uber. Eventually the porter was asked to drive me to the airport once I had lost my patience. This evident mess up could easily have been rectified by a simple apology and what transpired to be the eventual solution but no such apology came, indeed the attitude was disdainful and rude. Because of this I only give it two stars and won’t return, a little bit of customer service goes a long way.

It was great experience 🥰

I booked this Aparthotel for my Dad and it was brilliant. Fantastic attention to detail and very clean. The only thing I’d say can be better is customer service. We had to wait a long time before getting the key although booking in advance. As a world traveler, this gap was very notable and one that can be easily addressed. It’s however a great place to stay.
