The staff made our stay worth it.
Royal Rochester staff are what made our stay worth while. The front desk staff are simply amazing. Esther, Mavis, Happy, Brenda and Kofi did an excellent job in meeting our needs and getting prompt service when the air con broke twice and the freezer started smoking the night before we left. The restaurant staff were nice too. The only thing is don't expect food ordered to come out in under 45 mins which is a long time compared to American standard. The food is also quite pricy and there is no wow factor about it. Some times it tasted like stale oil was used. On the bright side, the room had a cooker with an oven so cooking our own meals proved to be tastier and more economical. The hotels a whole looks tired. The photos online are super deceiving. The sheets though clean were worn bare. The towels were a different shade of white. The kind that tells you that other guests have wiped more than their bodies with it. I was not bothered because I carried my own towels for our 2 woks stay. For $200 a night, you would at least expect a fluffy pillow and soft sheets. On the plus side, house keeping was amazing. They cleaned the room every day and changed sheets and towels. Last but not least, I cannot write this review without mentioning Prince from the cleaning staff. He made our stay amazing and with his kindness and warm smiles. He is the true display of the Ghanaian warmth.

Enjoyable stay
Initial view of hotel at night was quite beautiful with a lighted footbridge over a pool all lighted up. The check in was smooth & we got the staff to bring up our four heavy suitcases up the stairs to the first floor as there were no lifts. Wii Fi codes were supplied but they work better at the ground floor reception area. Breakfast buffet is reasonable but could offer more range. Overall the staff were helpful, but I believe the rates could have been a bit more comparative as one can get in UK. I must say my 18 year daughter enjoyed staying there tremendously as it was her first time in Ghana since a baby & she was impressed by the whole setting.

Expensive hotel for what you got
My first trip to Accra. I booked this hotel per my friend's recommendation. It locates in a quiet neighborhood, not much around and no traffics neither, which is nice. I got a deluxe suite which come with a kitchen. The condition of the room was so so. There were exposed wires and peeled-off paint. The shower pressure was low and the hot water was unreliable. The front desk staff were not very friendly. I travel extensively and generally reset my expectation when I am in countries like Ghana. But the for price I paid, I expected a bit more than what I got.

Fantastic hotel staff
My planned one-night transit stay in the Royal Richester was extended to four nights as I broke my foot right upon arrival in Accra. The hotel management and staff were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful in this special situation, way beyond the call of duty. I was very positively impressed. Cleanliness, quality and speed of service in the hotel are very good, and the rooms are not luxurious, but perfectly adequate.Would use this hotel again any time as well as recommend it to others. Note that the hotel does not have an elevator, which might be problematic for some.

Ok hotel nothing to rave about
Was expecting a better room. Windows don't lock and are flimsy so safety is an issue. The breakfast is just ok

Nice hotel but not well managed
Although I booked a room, when I went there there was no room available. They tried to get me an appartmenet but in this appartment there were already people so I had to share it with others. I did not agree. Then they put me in another hotel which they claim is their dauther hotel. This hotel was horrible. No hot water. No soap. Room was OK but the location is bad. Breakfast is very basic.
