I stayed here in December 2012 with 4 other business collegues. The rooms are acceptable by West African standards - clean, bed firm and bathroom fine. Aircon was noisy in all 5 rooms so appears not to be a once off issue. Pool was wonderful. Breakfast is ok, but honestly you're better off going across the road to Cappachinos and... More

Great location with everything around you- coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets etc. Rooms are smallish and breakfast hall is unkempt. Reception is nice and polite. Some rooms have street and airport sound coming into your room all thru night. So ask for a quieter room. Okay value for money.

Let's start with the rooms we can qualified them as acceptable for Africa, but are not worth what they charge you! The breakfast is over expensive and the restaurant is terrible. It's definitely not the best hotel in town, and will only comeback there if all they others are fully booked.

Stayed one night at the hotel. Pool clean and air conditioning worked well. Minor fit/finish issues but normal for the area. Lots of street vendors/beggars outside hotel. The security guard tried to give me a counterfeit $5 bill.

The Splendid is a functional hotel located in the city center. Rooms are clean, A/C works, great water pressure. A little dated, carpet is worn, but it is quite satisfactory. The restaurant is adequate but there is a very nice coffee shop/cafe across the street (Le Cappuccino) which serves light meals and coffee as well as ice cream and pastries.... More

Located 5 minutes by car from the airport, this hotel is very close to the EU Delegation premises. It is a reasonably clean place. The air-conditioning was functioning properly. The furniture was slightly old and falling apart. The swimming pool was fine. I did not taste the breakfast as an Italian place just opposite to the hotel is a serious... More

Great location, really close to the airport. The rooms were air-conditioned and comfortable. Build quality wasn't the greatest, with a few cracked tiles. There was a fridge in the room. Staff were very friendly and helpful - currency exchange was at a good rate too. Breakfast was mediocre - there was a choice, but none of it was particularly appetising.... More

The room felt like being in a prison and several things (lights, ...) were not working. No, I did not like it and switched after 1 night. The hotel staff charged too much, and a discussion was needed to come to the correct price. Hotel Yibi just opposite the street offers much more value for less money. I think its... More
