Old and Musty

Ibis had the only availability in my companies range. I have stayed in Ibis elsewhere and was satisfied. The staff was nice and polite but the hotel is old and the rooms smell of mold. The breakfast is very basic and the water pressure and temperature is up and down. The only plus is that since it’s owned by Novotel (which is next door) you can go over and use their facilities and dine. Mold in rooms. Mini fridge leaking water in floor. The employees are doing the best they can but this hotel badly needs renovation.

Disliked: Amenities
The Ibis Hotel Cotonou is an Accor hotel. It is basic and relatively cheap. It offers breakfast but otherwise dinning options are limited. The staff on duty on arrival were rather indifferent and offhand - although staff rostered on subsequent days were pleasant to deal with. The rooms are quite small and lack facilities such as free tea and coffee, tissues and bottled water. After eating their food I suffered from stomach pains and diarrhea for three days. I had two subsequent one day bookings at the Ibis in August which I then cancelled. The bookings were via Expedia who advised that the money I paid would not be refunded as a result of Accor policies - and this was despite the fact that the two days and more were booked at another more expensive Accor hotel (so Accor got my money twice). I would not advise travelers to avoid the Ibis as there were some positives but do not expect more than a basic service.

They charge bogus fee. My business partner was charged 20,000cfa in April claiming they did not receive payment from expedia. When asked for explanation and provided booking confirmation, he was told that he will be refunded when the hotel manager returns. Hotel manager is never on duty. I also booked in june and was also charged 8,500cfa but i was able to get mine refunded. When i enquired about the 20,000, i was told manager was not on duty. My contact information was taken and promised to contact me, they never did. On my way back to the state, i stop by to asked for the refund and was told manager not on duty. It seems there is a scheme between the staff to extort money from tourists. I have never been to an hotel that an hotel manager is never on duty except iblis cotonou

Great place at value. Next to the beach and offer a nice hot breakfast buffet. Comfortable bed and perfect for a business overnight stay or someone wanted just some quiet and frequent walks to the beach. The only thing is I thought I was paying all of the taxes through Expedia. I had to pay the hotel tax. Not sure if this was accurate. I questioned but did not fully dispute it during check out.
