Hotel is closer to the airport
This hotel is very close to the airport. It's a nice place to be. The only negative thing is mosquito bites. Rooms need to be sprayed regularly to prevent mosquito bites.

Rigid Management Policy
I was well received but needed to alter my booking by staying out on 18th August and coming back to the hotel on 19th to to still 20th to depart on 21st . The need to do so arose after realizing that my conference meeting was ending late on 18th evening and I didn't feel safe been driven at night by taxi. The hotel manager was not flexible to that effect. I had to leave on 18th having slept in that hotel for only one night and look for alternative accommodation. Kindly refund my money at least for 19th night. Thank you. Josephine

Great for your first and last night: Near airport
The hotel is close to the airport and is a good spot for arrivals and departures. Also, not too expensive. Therein nothing of interest in the neighborhood (to me, at least). Near the motorway for getting around town though. The first time I tried to stay there the electricity was out and they couldn't accept guests. Frequent power outages are common in Accra and Ghana in general.

Don't do it
It's barely functional. You can definitely get a better hotel at the same or lower price. Exactly the same limited breakfast every morning served in sweaty hot room with broken aircon by never smiling woman. Most barren rooms with no art painted in brown and dirty white, broken shower fittings, security guards that fall asleep at night so don't open gate. They have no phone number for taxi. Aircon of room above me was right outside my window and always noisy even when my noisy aircon was off. What else you want to know?

It was my worst experience ever in a foreign country, the mosquitoes, and other insects were disgusting. As if that wasn't bad enough, the Power plant broke down. We were later transferred to a sister hotel somewhere in town

Hotel location I would say.
Hotel was fine, should one look for a reasonable priced hotel this is fine, more suitable for a short stay, convenient close to the airport and hotel staff are friendly.

Good value, clean and comfortable
This was my first time to try Hotel Obama when coming to Accra. I decided to try it as I was tired of paying the crazy $250-$300 per night rates many hotels around the airport charge. After staying at the Hotel Obama I will no longer stay at any of the other hotels as the huge price difference isn't warranted. The staff at Obama were very friendly and helpful, the bed was perfectly clean and comfortable and while the bathroom was a bit tired it too was also perfectly clean and functional. Next time I'm returning to Accra I'll choose to stay at the Obama again.

JUST SAY NO TO THIS ONE !!!!!! KEEP AWAY !!
NOT MUCH. Chose it only since hotels.com had it listed as having complimentary airport transfers, and for a short sty this was paramount in an unfamiliar environment . I made a special note when booking it with flight number, time etc to meet me at airport. Next day after booking, I emailed on my own the hotel to inform them again of my arrival info . NEVER got a response back from them , and neither were they the upon arrival. I arrived at hotel with taxi driver, asked the management to pay the driver but they refused. same with the ride back to the airport, even after I showed them on the hotels.com listing. They said they wouldn't do it. OK , so I won't do something for them- give a good review. I do not appreciate dishonesty , unscrupulous biz practices and getting taken. They got me once, and if I can save YOU the same, I will feel that the money I wasted on this old dump was not a loss . Keep searching. Pass this one up. Thank you for your attention .

Clean basic hotel close to airport
I thought that Hotel Obama is a great value for the area surrounding the airport. The room was clean and quite large and the internet was fast. I think the hotel is typical for a mid-range African hotel (non-chain) and the price makes it very attractive. If you keep your expectations in line you will be very pleased. I am not sure if I would stay for longer than a week but for a few days it does the trick.

Unsatisfactory
I reluctantly accepted a change to Obama Hotel when the hotel I was initially booked into by Hotels.com had no space for me even after booking early. I was not disappointed at the fact that the experience wasn't going to be good. It was less than a 1 star hotel. The hotel, though clean, was in a state of disrepair. My toilet was flooded and the tv obsolete (CRT). I had to walk out of the hotel lobby in the rain to go to the restaurant. Was told there is complimentary airport pick up but this was not the case. For $90 or thereabouts, I expected more. Most of the workers were nice and helpful except for one that was trying to collude with a taxi driver to defraud me. So be very vigilant.

Good for the money
Room is basic but the air conditioning works, the room is clean, and importantly the generator works too, and it's pretty close to the airport. Be careful to note the location on Google Maps -- there is only one Hotel Obama and it's north of the airport, not south. I only had one breakfast, it was decent by the standards of Ghana (beans, eggs, etc.).

Only backpackers allowed!
I usually don't rate hotels if I only stayed 1 night. But I had to warn off people who read how great this hotel is. If I was in my late teens and backpacking on a budget with friends, it would be great. I ended up there as I transited in Accra on my way to next door Ivory Coast. But what exactly was wrong? Everything: The door to the room didn't close properly; the toilet didn't flush, unless you remove the WC's tank cover and pull the lever yourself so that the water would go down. Of the 4 electric plugs in the room, only 1 worked; so I had to wake up every 2-3 hours to check if my phone had enough juice so I could unplug it and put in my iPad, then once the iPad had enough, replace it with my laptop.. Also, the WiFi didn't work, not inside the room. But by standing outside the room in the corridor with my laptop, I could pick up 2 bars of signal. Of course, I couldn't stand in the corridor for long. So, had to go back inside my room. This is a 1.5 star hotel. The AC made a raucus when on. I had to turn it off to get some sleep. The rooms' curtains are the single, thin, almost transparent type. If you’re on the ground floor, the guy doing his security rounds can see you (and you can see him). Mind you, as Elite member, I had what they called an Executive Room. I wonder what the regular rooms were like. The breakfast? A joke: bland eggs (no cheese) with a piece of bread. No other choice. I've seen Motel-6 on I-95 far more luxurious.

Hotel located in a nice well improved neighborhood
For the price of $100 a night, including taxes, l wasn't very impressed with the condition of the rooms - seemed to have lacked attention to detail with maintenance over time. Good people with the right attitude, however the general ambience at the place could be more professional. Breakfast was included with stay. I expected better for a 3 star hotel at $100/night.
