Hôtel du Golfe

The hotel staff were helpful, and my room was spacious and clean. Lots of hot water! The restaurant on the top floor provides a nice view of the Gulf of Guinea (except for 1 big building in the way). I've seen better breakfast buffets, but there is as much coffee as you want. Lunches and dinners were fine - pizzas were okay, the lasagna and penne arrabiata were better. The hotel if close to the beach, next to the Grand Marche, and close to the Government areas of Lome.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights, arriving at 11AM on the hotel’s LFW Airport shuttle. A French/English-speaking receptionist copied our passports while we filled out a police form, then gave our key card to the porter who carried our bags to the elevator and up to the 3rd floor. Room #309 was tiled, opening to a fully outfitted bathroom with a large tiled shower, all in perfect condition with quick hot water. Large closet with a safe, refer, hot pot, coffee & water, then a comfortable king across a large TV with good reception(~10 French channels/no English), desk & chair with an easy chair. The insulated double window had a city view over the pool. The spacious room has proper lighting, many outlets, quiet AC, decent secure WIFI and was serviced daily. The 6:30 AM breakfast buffet was fully supplied well after 7AM; OJ, ripe fruits, corn flakes, omelet/hard boiled eggs, hot/cold meats, cheese, yogurt, breads/croissants/rolls/cake and decaf/coffee. We swam in the pool, had lunch twice(Hawaiian Pizza & Grilled Grouper w/fries/veggies in their 4th floor restaurant, crossed to the nice Deveena Sarl supermarket and walked the city center, market, cathedral, beach, palace and national museum. This is a practical, clean and comfortable hotel with a small reception lobby & a large pool.
