Hotels near Asylum Down, Accra

🏨The hotel is quite new, with an apartment-style feel, but it's a full-service hotel with laundry service, a gym, a pool, and a restaurant. Breakfast options aren't limited, but they're adequate. 💪The gym was beyond my expectations. It's truly amazing to have such a great gym in this part of Ghana.💯

4/5 – A Peaceful, Homely Boutique Stay in Accra with Gorgeous Green Vibes I stayed at Hetch Tech House from 17–19 November and absolutely loved the relaxing, boutique, home-style atmosphere. It’s not a hotel—it's a charming B&B–hostel hybrid—and that uniqueness is exactly what makes it special. Location I used taxis or drove everywhere, so the location was perfect for my needs and never a barrier to getting around Accra. The team also sends excellent directions and full contact details before your stay, so arriving is stress-free. Arrival & Welcome I was greeted warmly by the staff, given two bottles of water, and welcomed straight into the serene vibe of the property. They have night security, who are friendly and reassuring without being intrusive. Rooms & Comfort My double room with shared bathroom was spotless, comfortable, and cool thanks to both air conditioning and an overhead fan (which I actually preferred most of the time). The bed was extremely comfortable, and I even held a couple of work meetings from my room without interruption. The shared kitchenette just outside my room was handy, especially for travellers who like to prep a quick snack as long as you tidy up after yourself. The House, Gardens & Atmosphere This place has soul. The gardens are lush, peaceful, and full of greenery, and the rooftop offers a quiet place to sit, relax, or reflect. It genuinely feels like you’re staying in someone’s home—in the best possible way—and the staff strike the ideal balance between friendliness and giving you space. They also have a sweet resident dog named Jolly, who adds a lovely, homely touch. There’s a woman nearby who runs a small fruit stall selling everything from pineapples and papayas to coconuts and tiger nuts—perfect for a fresh, local snack. Food There’s an on-site kitchen that serves meals such as whole wheat pizzas, whole wheat burgers, homemade pasta, pan-fried chicken thighs, and whole fresh fish. Meals can be ordered daily up to 8:30pm. I didn’t eat lunch or dinner here because Accra has an incredible food scene and I was out most evenings exploring the city’s restaurants. But if I’d been feeling lazy, I would happily have eaten at the property. Breakfast, however, I did have—and enjoyed. It’s simple and wholesome: fresh fruit (some from their garden), homemade bits, bread, yogurt, spreads, and your choice of tea or filter coffee. A lovely self-service start to the day. Service, Communication & Safety The communication is excellent. They message clear, friendly instructions via WhatsApp, offer recommendations on where to go and what to do, and provide all the essential details you need to feel fully prepared for your stay. You can request laundry service, and visitor policy is straightforward—you simply share ID details for any guests, and then you’re free to sit with them in the gardens or common areas. Who This Place Is For If you’re expecting: a reception desk hotel-style service a resort-like atmosphere …this is not that. But if you love: boutique, homey stays a traveller-friendly, community feel peaceful gardens a flexible, self-service environment attentive but relaxed staff …this place feels like a perfect fit. Final Thoughts This was a lovely end to my trip to Accra. It felt peaceful, comfortable, green, safe, and genuinely welcoming. For the price, service, atmosphere, and overall comfort, I would definitely stay here again. A very solid 4 out of 5.

The location is good. It is located near from the Spintex area in the middle of East Legon. However, they always forget putting towels.. almost every day. So it is better to bring your own towels. The Security guy called David was very helpful. Still overall one of the good place to stay but there are a lot of improvements needed.

Beautiful environment and especially great vibe at the pool and restaurant area. In the evenings they play some music and it’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy if you don’t feel like going out. You can have a drink and they even have shisha if you like. The waitress Catherine at breakfast time was absolutely lovely! Warm and helpful and friendly, we really missed her when she wasn’t around on the weekend. The one thing I didn’t like about our stay was that some of the front desk staff seemed to have a bit of an attitude towards us because we had extended multiple times and chose to do so through trip as it’s cheaper than the USD rates that the hotel charges directly. They said that what we paid through trip was too little however, we didn’t make those rates so I found that a bit rude. The whole hotel operates on USD rates so for value added services like laundry or transportation it can be very overpriced.

I enjoyed my stay. The facility is well kept and in a very good location with easy access to all kinds of activities. Security is very high and the staff are friendly.

Great Place … just don’t expect it to be “Accra-adjacent.” The Good: Peace and quiet, finally! The environment is calm, and the room exceeded my expectations for the price. There’s a massive car park, an event area, and a restaurant that does both local and continental dishes pretty well. Staff are polite, genuinely helpful, and make you feel welcome. There’s a swimming pool, a gym (more on that later), and even a mall just about 700 meters away...an easy walk if you’re feeling adventurous. The Not-So-Good: Let’s just say this place is spiritually located in Accra, but physically… not so much. It’s quite a trek from the city center. The gym needs serious rehab — most of the equipment has clearly seen better days. Accessibility is also tricky; ride-hailing apps often drop you at the wrong gate, and the access road isn’t exactly a joyride. Verdict: Overall, I had a good stay. It’s quiet, comfortable, and great value — if you’re not planning to spend most of your time inside Accra. Otherwise, pack snacks and patience for the commute. PEACE

Best stay! Customer service was impeccable, the host harriet was very friendly and attentive, the studio was sold out so they upgraded us to a bigger apartment for free, highly recommend! Shops and restaurants close by, its in the city so its not far from activities and night life, all amenities were provided for! 10/10

On the plus side: they provide a complimentary airport pickup service. When I arrived, I was upgraded to a better room. The hotel is located closer to the airport than to the city center, so it's a great option if you need to be near the airport or the University of Ghana. The negative side: it's far from the city center, and I think it's too expensive for what the hotel offers. I insisted a lot on the breakfast issue because I had read comments about the problems people had experienced trying to have breakfast there. In my case, I was going to attend some conferences, so punctuality in serving breakfast was important. Although I called reception at 7:00 AM to make sure I could have breakfast at 7:30 and they told me yes, when I went at 7:30 the guy at reception didn't know anything about it and had to go look for breakfast, so I couldn't have breakfast at the hotel and had to take it with me. There's almost no natural light in the room, and the artificial lighting is very dim, so if you like places with plenty of natural light, this isn't the place for you. At 6:00 AM, they start making a lot of noise outside – I understand it's related to cleaning, but it sounds like they're scraping something. I think they should be more respectful of guests' rest. The water pressure isn't enough to wash your hair if you have long hair, and I couldn't get hot water either. I wanted to get a SIM card upon arrival at the airport, but since my flight arrived late, I didn't want to keep the driver waiting. I asked him if there would be any place near the hotel to get a SIM card. He told me he would do it for me because a special card was needed that foreigners didn't have. Even though I asked him if he thought it was possible with just my passport, he said it wasn't possible. He wanted to charge me 100 GHS to do it himself, and I told him I would think about it. In the end, I did it myself with my passport – so it is indeed possible, and they charged me 25 GHS. I had planned to stay 6 more days, but all these events made me end up canceling my stay at this place and moving to another, cheaper place with better service.

I had a wonderful stay at GhanaLancaster Hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Accra. The location is very convenient, close to key areas of the city, which made getting around easy and stress-free. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and I immediately felt comfortable. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and all the essentials needed for a relaxing stay. Housekeeping did a great job every day, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt calm and secure. I also enjoyed the hotel facilities, especially the pool area, which was perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Breakfast was another highlight — a great variety of options, fresh food, and good service. The restaurant and bar area were also pleasant, with tasty meals and a nice ambience. Overall, GhanaLancaster Hotel offers excellent value, great hospitality, and a comfortable experience. I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Ghana.

Loved it. Clean and good customer services. Will certainly book again whenever I am in Accra
