This hotel outshines most others in the same range - 3 star??? I recommend it and would come back. Though I used my personal bedsheets (always do in hotels), the beddings in Nototel pass the test. Good: 1. Clean and quiet rooms 2. Nice meals with reasonable variety to select from 3. Beautiful and clean swimming pool - no enrty... More

The Novotel is probably the flagship hotel in Cotonou. It is quiet, close to the airport and secure. The rooms are a decent size and everything seems to work well. Very expensive however for what you get but no real complaints other than the following issues. There is a VISA ATM in reception. You can pay your bill by Mastercard.... More

Rooms are clean and basic. The doors and walls seem a little thin; I could hear conversation from the room next door, and the occupants were not shouting. Wi-fi is available but very slow. If you are not a French speaker, the TV/cable channels are not for you: CNN is the only channel in English. Customer service is not great,... More

this hotel is close to the airport, clean, great internet connection, excellent breakfast and gorgeous pool. It is also only a short walk to the beach. Rooms were lovely and the bed comfortable. Loads of hot water. If you have to stay in Cotonou, I highly recommend this spot. More

This five star hotel does not provide value for money and lacks quality assurance. Rooms show signs of lack of maintenance, towels are worn out. Staff at the reception is forgetful and only service oriented on the surface. On 8 nights of stay two were without airconditioning. Horrible in the hot and humid climate in rooms without the alternative of... More

So lets be frank, this hotel is never going to win awards. But, it's in Benin - hardly the centre of the universe - and given the challenges of operating in West Africa this place does a reasonable job. Some pro's :- 1. English speaking staff 2. Rooms perfectly clean and comfortable, albeit not over the top luxury (it is... More
