Novotel Cotonou Orisha Hotel 4 stars

Professional stay. I wish they would not charge the stay right at check in but do a pre-authorization. Otherwise, I enjoyed the beautiful classy room. I did not have the opportunity to use the pool but it looked nice and big.

Place to stay if you are visiting Cotonou for Business trip or other reason. Nice room with good quality of materras, clean and with nice view to the pool. Nice pool and garden. Good breakfast and luch or dinner buffet as well as option of menu a la carte. Professional staff and with dedicate attention. recommand this place in Cotonou

Employees of the Novotel are very kind and they give a nice feeling as a guest of the hotel. Service was good. Food not a big deal (especially the Breakfast). You have to take your breakfast before 8:00am otherwise most of the buffet is empty........ Rooms are nice but the mattress was too sunken and wobbly. Room Services excellent.

It was nice tho short but the workers are extremely friendly to guest.

Pleasant

Over all excellent. Food good. People nice. Had a one bedroom suite. Good televisions. But limited channels. And only one in English. Furniture in lounge . Couch uncomfortable. Use some more wall decor. Great bathroom.

Excellent

I have stayed for 3 weeks and I was extremely satisfied with everything. I will highly recommend Novotel to anyone. I have enjoyed every single day at Novotel as they have exceeded my expectations. Thank you to each one of the staff. Joelle S. from London.

I relocated to Cotonou for work so I spent some 40 days at the hotel. The hotel is recently renovated with excellent rooms, great pool, and excellent staff. I enjoyed the room very much as well as having breakfasts at the hotel terrace overlooking the hotel park. The view of ocean waves crashing on the breach helped too. All the staff was very professional and attentive to my different needs and quick in solving small problems I encountered. As it was initial home away from home I would definitely recommend is as a first pick if u need to come to Cotonou.

Very good hotel. I recommend to my friends

good stay in recent renovated hotel. nice pool and garden. Good breakfast with fresh foods. Lunch and dinner buffet are also good. Nice room with good materas. recommand this hotel if you are visiting Cotonou.

Overall stay was very disappointing, I have been several times to this hotel and it's getting worst and worst. The whole hotel is suffering from the lack of renovations for years and absolutely 0 work has been done. At least before the employees were friendly. This will be my last stay as there has been several new hotels in town.

Nice place with great amenities. But the front desk committed an error in billing, and billed me twice. I am still waiting for refund in my card account. As a result I have had to cut short my West Africa tour by a week and I will suffer financial loss.

The hotel is in desperate need of a makeover. -The hallways are rundown and smell moldy, and the rooms have the same issue. -Rooms need new furniture, including new beds. Currently the beds are very close to the floor, and my mattress was lopsided. Duvet had mosquito blood on my arrival. Everyone in our group was kept awake at least one night due to mosquitoes in room. -Bathrooms need updating, and a few days I didn't have hot water (just lukewarm). -Wifi was very poor--better in lobby than room, but in room often didn't really work at all. -Pool is pretty nice, but two issues: first, the let non-guests use it, and local boys in underwear were swimming--not the sign of a 4* hotel, and second, the pool attendant was not attentive--had to track him down for towels. -Breakfast is ok, but understaffed--be prepared to make your own coffee/tea and to figure out how to use the machines. You can order eggs, if you can track someone down to order them. -Restaurant service was great at times, and slow at times. Food was hit or miss as well--some things better than others. The bar was particularly slow. I only ate at the hotel, and avoided raw foods, but still had an upset stomach twice during the trip. -Front desk staff sometimes did not speak English. -A few times had issues with our key cards not working (one colleague was locked out for a while before they could fix his door). My safe also jammed. Elevator also broke once while I was in it. ATM was broken many days. -No gym as advertised. -Checkout was a mess. Bills were all incorrect (adding accommodation when it had been prepaid). Only one person working even though it was a prime checkout time before one of the few international flights. She couldn't figure out how to print all of the pages of the bill and was getting nasty with us when we said we needed the entire bill (a common thing!). -Overall, many of the staff members were nice, but if we had another option, we would not stay here again.

A bit run down, poor connectivity in some of the rooms. Not fit to be a four star hotel, not meet the standard of Novotel brand. Bed height is very low, mattress wasn't firm. Location, pool and greenery in the open areas are a plus
