    Not very clean and comfortable, but acceptable for the price.

    We booked the cheapest room possible, and we were expecting just what is there. A bed to sleep on.

    Standing fan in room was not working only the ceiling fan worked the bathroom area could of been cleaner bucket was left with left over water from whomever used it last and the water cup was disgustingly slimy which showed it had not been washed for a long time I had to cut a water bottle open and use it instead I also had to buy Dettol to wash out the bucket and wash area before use. My main enjoyment was the scenery the ocean the tranquility of the surrounding nature is what I came for but the rooms can do better Osikan rooms are better for the money has Air conditioning and bigger beds at only 200 cedi I paid 300 cedi to stay because i booked online it's cheaper if you just go directly and pay but still more expensive than Osikan . Rising Phoenix is a nice place to be if you love nature the ocean especially because you feel like your sleeping on a boat only the boat is not moving you fall asleep and awake to the sounds of the ocean waves hitting the rocks and it's highly relaxing You can hang out amongst cool chilled people and just feel relaxed and indulge in the beautiful nature that surrounds you if your looking for materialistic Luxury this is not the place to come but if your looking for peacefulness tranquility surrounded and provided by nature Rising Phoenix is the place to be .

    I like the location being surrounded by the ocean this was my main reason for staying

    There was no running water when we woke up in the morning, no chance to take a shower, flush the toilet etc, which was pretty frustrating. When we were leaving around 13.00 still no change, no water. This is a real issue. I understand the price is low as this is a basic and budget place but no running water at all for half a day killed all our positive vibe impressions. Maybe if you're staying here for while it's okay to wait for water to come back but we had a flight to take so it was a real nuisance, not sure how often this lack of water happens but I don't recommend the place when you're about to take a long flight and need to shower before;)

    This was our 2nd stay in this place, this time we got room no 1 which was really good, the fan (tiny though) was working, there was a private bathroom, quite a lot of space, some shelves and even a wardrobe;) Saturday night was very quiet in the bar (we expected more party atmosphere after our first stay) but altogether it was pleasant.) In the morning we bought breakfast which was quite tasty.

    The room we occupied that night (no 7) had a fan which was literally hanging on the last thread so we were afraid to switch it on for the night as we feared it would decapitate us :D Really, even some slight renovation effort would make this place so much nicer:)

    This is a very basic and budget place with rasta/reggae vibe and amazing view on the sea. Don't expect much but also the price for accommodation is very low. We stayed here twice - on the night I'm just reviewing we were lucky to come just in time for reggae festival which lasted almost all night (Haile Sellasie coronation day), there was a great atmosphere, guests from Ethiopia etc. This was really a great experience so the discomforts in the room were of no importance. The bar serves Ghanaian beers and some other limited alcohol; there's also food available and it's really tasty. Staff varies from person to person, some are curt, some very nice; but generally you feel welcome here, there are also many frequenters who are happy to socialise;)

    The location is beautiful - you've got the ocean right in front of you. It is a bit noisy at night because of the waves, and still - just beautiful and serene. The accommodation and facilities are basic and clean. Everything was working. Only breakfast took a bit long, that's all. I will be back.

    It is not easy for drivers to find, it is down a muddy uneven road which a few drivers didn't understand how to get to it. The was hardly any food actually available for lunch in the restaurant on Friday lunch time. Most rooms have a shared bathroom with two toilets and 2 bucket showers, but they were pretty clean. The water was shut off during a rain storm which I guess happens a lot in rainy season. It could do with some refurbishment.

    It's right by the sea, you can hear the waves and enjoy the view of the ocean. There is a bar. It's very cheap. The staff are friendly and kind.

    The rooms are terrible, not cleaned. One of the rooms I went to, had one of the bed posts coming off. I had to change rooms 3 times before I got a room that was a bit okay.

    The only good thing I can say about the place is the view. The staff are also a bit okay.

    Bathroom and toilet are clean but sometimes you need to use bucket for water if you want to take a shower. They help you for that. So it's easy and for the price, I think that it's a good deal.

    Beach. People are very kind. The Place is so natural and simple. Good beer 🍻, Reggae music ❤️. I forgot my documents to the airport and the woman who manages the reception helped me. Thank you 🙏🏾 See you next time!!!

    Nothing the place or staff are to blame for. European travellers find limited choice and availability on menus all over Ghana. Rising Phoenix does it's best and the food is better than most.

    Ths location is perfect. By the sea always a bit cooler than the rest of the city with an outstanding view of the bay if Guinea.

    It is a very nice hotel that has a great view of the sea right outside your window. The hotel is also in the most central place of Accra close to the forts, the lighthouse and the Makola market. The restaurant they have is excellent with authentic Ghanian dishes and the quantity is also great. Very affordable prices.
