"Staff were excellent and friendly. Can also rent a taxi at the hotel for excursions to Ganvié, Porto Novo etc. of course a little bargaining does help! Breakfast food options good. Room size is comfortable for a couple. However, is an old property so has its quirks. Travelers may prefer newer more central locations if budgets allow. Currently the port is under construction in front of the hotel. So can be a bit disturbing for light sleepers. But overall our experience was good!"

"Bonjour, Mon épouse et moi avons séournée une nuit à l’hôtel native. Les chambres sont spacieuses bien décorées, il règne une bonne odeur. Au niveau la décoration tout est parfait, les finitions sont très réussies, les matériaux sont de très bonne qualité. Le ménage est très bien fait. Dans notre expérience qui est positive, je peux noter que pour la chambre le téléphone fixe ne fonctionnait pas et nous n’avons pas pu émettre une demande à la réception pour connaître l'heure du petit déjeuner...
