    Drivers might have a hard time to get up the hill to the hotel, the road up there is horrible. Breakfast was nothing to write home about, did for instance not have anything else to drink than water and only pour-over coffee. We did not get an extra blanket like we asked about, and I'm not sure whether they wash the "duvet" (/blanket) often enough, the blanket did at least have no cover.

    Location is pretty good, walking distance from Cape Coast castle and restaurants. Air condition works well and bed is comfortable.

    They could have evening facilities eg a restaurant or evening service. I understand this is in the pipeline.

    If you want to be on the heart of Cape Coast with all the hustle and bustle then the location is great.

    A bit shabby, in need for renovation. The AC wasn’t working.

    We had to cancel the second night and they were very nice and understanding. The location was nice and quiet. Beautiful flowers.

    I didn't like the breakfast. But it's included so it's ok No wi-fi, use your data

    Fully furnished. It's a good thing, and I would say ideal for quite a long stay

    The property is dated. We hired three rooms for our group. In one room the aircon didn’t work and I’m another the toilet flushing wasn’t working. Although gated, it was still a little noisey. Breakfast was ok but no choice on what you got.

    The property is gated and was relatively clean. it’s about a ten minute walk to the castle and the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    There was no hot water temporarily but you don't really need it in the hot weather.

    The location is a 15-minute walk from Cape Coast Castle. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the room was cosy. The view is nice too.

    Everything was very good, so nothing to dislike. The staff and property owner are very friendly and nice.

    This is a very nice clean and comfortable place to stay. The building is situated on a hilltop overlooking the downtown area of Cape Coast, on a nice day you can see the ocean from the balcony.

    They provided only very small towels, which are not enough for adults having maybe even two showers a day in the hot climate etc.. The coffee and milk are all only provided with those little ready-made portions out of a plastic package (Nestle Powder and Nescafe).

    The host ladies were very welcoming and helpful. They tried their best to make us feel comfortable and even organised us a small spontaneous dinner as we were homebound with a sleeping child. The showers were nice, and the breakfast was ready on time as agreed. Everything was tidy and clean. The location on the hill is super central and provides an interesting perspective on the city.

    The location was at the top of an obscure dirt road and difficult to locate.

    The property was a little difficult to locate, even with local assistance. The immediate surroundings left a little to be desired , but once you were on the property, it was very nice. It has the feel of an Airnbn. I liked that there was a guard on duty and a locked gait to enter and exit the property. The staff were very nice and gracious. They also prepared a light breakfast in the morning. It was very close to the Cape Coast Castle. I would recommend it.

    No water to shower, and communication with staff could be better on the evening. A little difficult getting information on check in.

    good location but the road isn’t tarmac so difficult to get to even with a car. the actual room was nice, AC, fan, fridge and decent beds. Good breakfast with beautiful views.

    Nothing really, I have two minor suggestions: - It would be nice if there was WiFi available. As guests from outside Ghana we struggle to get data on our phone and it would have been great if we had WiFi provided at the location. - Breakfast was great, but it was the same sandwich each day, after awhile it could get a bit boring. nonetheless it was delicious.

    Our stay was wonderful, the owner put a lot of attention to detail. It is simply beautiful looking over the whole city with all those flowers, very peaceful very secluded and yet still in the middle of town. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I would book this place any time again and would recommended it in a heartbeat.

    Like everyone says, there’s a short, steep climb up to the hotel. The path is a bit rough, but nothing you can’t pull a suitcase up. Loud music on Fri/ Sat night nearby (funerals, I was told). IIused earplugs and slept fine.

    Great location, close to everything in Cape Coast. Friendly mother + daughter team looking after the place in the daytime keeping everything. There’s also a security guy around at night, so it feels really safe. All were waiting to help us with luggage when we arrived even though it was quite late. The owner was really responsive to calls on how to get there and helpful at all times :)
