 Crystal Palm Hotel by ajayzener
To my surprise the hotel was a small one, but the staff immensly friendly and were always up to service me. The rooms although slightly small were cosy. They have a small swimming pool too.
The restaurant has a limited menu, so I suggest you venture out after you have tasted couple of dishes as rest of them taste almost same. But the neighbourhood is good and not crowded, you can take a stroll and reach a junction where you can find plenty variety to eat.
Overall a comfortable place to stay. Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Tesano, Box 19260, Accra-North, GhanaPhone: +233 41 247219/20

In 2004 when I first stayed in this hotel. I think I must be their first customer. Every one was eager to service me and very friendly. I could see the construction still going on in the second wing. The rooms here are big by any standards and as it was new at that point of time it was very neat and clean.
Being a new hotel there were'nt many people staying there, butI made it a point to only stay in Crysta Royal in my subsequebt visits to Accra.
A Truly Value for Money Hotel

I stayed in this hotel in 2004. It was during the off-season that I stayed there and hence it was less crowded. The hotel offers a breath-taking view of the Dam and the volta lake. The scene from the restarant just mesmerises you as you stand there admiring the gushing water and the vast lake. The hotel is essentially a leisure resort, a good holiday can be spent there if one is interested to be close to the nature in a calm and quiet environment. The staff was very friendly and always at service and in my experience they went out of the way to help me out. The restaurant is a good place to try out traditional ghanian dishes and it offers a lot of veriety in that respect. Overall a pleasant experience.

 Wall painting in Nkrumah
Memorial Hotel by sachara
California hotel (with a nice porch) and opposite the Crown Prince Hotel (not very good). If one has no rooms left, you can easily go to one of the others.
On the walls of the restaurant of Nkrumah Memorial Hotel are funny wallpaintings of Nkrumah and Rawlings.
In December 2003, I didn't see these hotels anymore from the minibus. People in the bus told me, that the California Hotel still exist, but moved to another place. Theme: HotelComparison: least expensiveDirections: Accra downtown, Kojo Thompson road

 Ghalebon Guesthouse, Accra by IoannaE
For left luggage they have a locked office, and there's a safe for valuables which you would do well to use.

The rooms vary - some are air-conditioned, some not. I took one of the simpler rooms with just a fan, no TV or fridge (for about 16 dollars US; I've marked this as 'average' but it's considerably cheaper than equivalent accomodation in Accra), and found it very adequate - the fan was powerful, the room and bathroom were thoroughly cleaned every day, the mosquito nets on the window were intact, and the little balcony was a nice place to sit in the afternoon.
You can have cold or hot drinks in your room, and the hotel also prepares tasty food in a hygienic environment; but the dining room feels a little institutional, especially in the evening - wish they would serve on the second-floor balcony!
Excellent service, pleasant grounds. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Aboom Close, Cape Coast, Central Province, GhanaPhone: 042 -30135

My stay at the Anomabo Beach Resort was a little slice of heaven. Inexpensive, absolutely GORGEOUS, really nice staff, great restaurant on a terrace overlooking the sea, swaying palm trees, white sand, blue water, lots of fun and laughter. Can't recommend it highly enough! Anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours west from Accra by trotro depending on highway construction. http://anomabo2.digitafrica.com/index.htm for pictures. :D
The pictures at their website really don't do the place justice, by the way. It's much prettier in real life. By the way, this place has less luxurious bungalows that would be perfect for backpackers on a bit of a splurge (no AC, shared CLEAN bathrooms) or nicer bungalows with AC and private bath which would be perfectly fine for a family travelling with kids that wanted a bit more luxury. One can also rent tents on the beach complete with linens and little lanterns. GREAT value for the money!
Close to Cape Coast and Kakum National Park
Take a walk down the beach at night and turn off your flashlight. Your footsteps will glow...

You can then walk down the road to the sea and the resort. Go right at the fork.Website: http://anomabo2.digitafrica.com/index.htm

Fresh Local food

In Ghana it is possible to stay in luxurious accommodations. In places like Accra, Kumasi, Tamale and almost all cities at the coastline of the country, you will be able to find a decent accommodation, with airconditioned rooms, goods beds and clean shower- and toilet facilities.
But why would you pay a fortune for an accommodation like that? Most of the times the water is cold in Ghana, even in expensive hotels, the personnel never is as polite as you are used to in the Western world: they simply aren't used to those standards, and as soon as you get out your hotel, you have to used to same old and uncomfortable taxi's, the same bumpy roads, you walk over the same smelly streets and you see the same poverty as when you stay in a cheaper place. Than, is it worth the money to lock yourself up in a luxurious hotel, hiding for the real Ghana "out there"?
That is why I would strongly recommend you to look for a budget accommodation. That way you are much closer to the real world, you save money for more important things, you get a better view of the local standards of living, and to be honest: even the cheapest accommodations are pretty good value in Ghana. In the following tips the different types of accommodations will be discussed: all budget tips... Theme: Pension/Guesthouse
