Top Cotonou Hotel Reviews

Azalaï Hotel Cotonou

Azalaï Hotel Cotonou

8/10 Good

"The room was clean with AC. The ocean view was marred by construction going on from 5:00 until 20:00. You get used to the banging. Don't open the window because the mosquitoes are large and wicked. The staff were great. Abdou was extremely helpful when I arrived at 4am and he was able to accommodate me after a long tiring flight. The clothing vendor Vanessa was very nice and she has great African clothing and other items. The staff who cleaned my room was fantastic. My only complaint was the water was not hot but warm. They tried to increase the temperature but was only able to do it for the last two days of a 16 night stay. I chose the hotel especially because of the bathtub which I couldn't fully enjoy. The local car rental service in the hotel is overpriced and the boss is thirsty for cash. I used them once but my drive was excellent. The breakfast was a regular buffet style with a lot of pasta, not my preference Overall, I had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an old school lux experience."
