I liked this property very much! The staff were so kind and accommodating. As a woman traveling alone, safety was the most important quality I was considering when booking a hotel, and this one lived up to its reputation and even surpassed it. I felt very safe and comfortable the entire visit. Many thanks to the kind staff.

Médiocre

Hôtel de catégorie très moyenne. Le personnel employé est courtoix et sympathique, mais la direction négligente. Les chambres, bien que propres, souffrent d'un mobilier (fauteuil) sale et tâché, donc peu ragoûtant. Le petit-déjeuner reste simple, mais acceptable.

Disappointing ... awful stay

This isn't the best hotel for English speakers. The staff tries hard to communicate, but the rooms are awful. The first room I was given had zero light since the window opened into a wall, and the mattress was lopsided. The second room was right next to a public bathroom AND the restaurant, and the walls are paper thin. It also isn't easy to get a taxi because the hotel is on a side road.

Un lieu que je recommande vivement

A deux pas de la plage et un peu à l'écart de l'hyper centre de Cotonou, un excellent emplacement : calme, non pollué, permettant d'éviter les embouteillages pour se rendre à l'extérieur de Cotonou et très sécurisant (quartier des ambassades et des grands hôtels). Personnel très professionnel, à l'écoute, très aimable. Service de qualité dans l'hôtel : service restauration, piscines... Un lieu que je recommande vivement.

I booked this hotel for my Dad's African vacation experience & tour. I am so pleased to report back with an excellent rating on all accomodations, amenities and the staffs level of hospitality and dedication to excellence in providing him detailed information for activities, transportation, city information, along with a superior clean, comfortable, stress free place during his stay. The included Breakfast was "amazing" per his report and he was made to feel just the way a tourist wants to feel when in a new and unfamiliar place. They even went out if their way to accomodate him with their concierge services tailored to his specific needs & budget!! I am 150% impressed & recommending them for everyone's stay!! Signed a satisfied daughter and Hotel villa les Orchidees customer on behalf of my father John! Thank you to all who asisted him and made him feel welcome!! You are truly appreciated!! Selena
