Traveller Review: New Year Vacation with My Sexy Fiance

“New Year Vacation with My Sexy Fiance” (Tulip Inn Accra Hotel)

It's really hard to write this review because I have no clue where to begin. I have been looking for a Hotel not too overpriced in Accra to accommodate me and my partner for so many reasons. When I came across this beautiful Travel Xpress International now Tulip Inn,this lovely Hotel is just a walking distance from the Accra Mall,one of the first modern shopping center in Ghana. When I first I told my partner about this is the place for us and she did not hesitate to confirm the booking.

I have already informed the Hotel about our early arrival and the manager on duty made arrangement for the driver to collect us at the airport as early as 06:00 am. Let me kindly say big thanks to Michael the driver and Rita (Front Desk Manager) for making the start of vacation an excellent one...

Early Arrival

I bet many of you have experienced night flight and arriving early morning. And on 31st December 2012 ? You can imagine how busy the capital Accra is.We were kinda relieved to meet the hotel driver at the airport with our names on the A4 sheet paper.

Hotel Staff.

Staff at Hotel were awesome including the Police Officer on duty .Our few problem with Hotel is the breakfast is just too basic compare to Holiday Inn and few other Hotels. The pool is very small and not many of the guest use the pool because of the condition . Please keep it clean even if no one is using it...

Bed.
We stayed in the Junior Suite which is really massive with massive everything includes fridge, bed and sofa. I can remember getting busy all the time with my partner at night still more space Lol.

Food.

Food menu at the restaurant is wonderful 24hrs service, my partner was overwhelme about meal . I can say personally,I really enjoy the pork chop with the fries. Even though I am not really fan of continental dishes but I really enjoy the pork chop +++.

Room Service.

Room service is good just few touches need to be done. I will suggest they have hair dryers in every room or have the dryers available 24hrs at the front desk. Apart from that I have no problem with the hotel. Its perfect for short or long stay....

I will strongly recommend this hotel for anyone travelling to Ghana alone,partner or family. Rate is a bargain,taxi's to Kotoka International Airport wont cost you more than $8.



The reception will do anything thing to make your stay a memorable one.They can get you taxi if you are unable to get one at after hours.

Thank you Rita,Michael and each and everyone for making our stay memorable one.

Room Tip: Junior Suite room 311 is just awesome
