"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!"
