Set just 38 km from Ouidah Museum of History, La Guesthouse Étoile offers accommodation in Cotonou with access to an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, as well as a 24-hour front desk.

I had a lovely stay at the guesthouse. The owner and staff are really friendly. Rooms are nice and comfy. After travelling around togo and Benin - I really loved the bed as it was a soft mattress 😀 the area is safe to walk around and you easily can reach it with a Gozem /zem. Not far from the airport at all. Breakfast is tasty and lovely. Thank you!

Offering a garden and garden view, Akwa Guesthouse Cotonou is situated in Cotonou, 1.4 km from Fidjrosse Beach and 33 km from Ouidah Museum of History.

We had a good stay and were happy with the room. The place is gated and secure. We got simple breakfast, but had no choice in what spread we wanted for the baguette. The place does not look like the pictures anymore - especially outdoors, it has not been maintained The boundary between what is guesthouse and what is their family space is blurred and we felt like we were intruding in their personal space when using the table for breakfast or to use the wifi. Which is unfortunate when there see 3 children there (who were adorable btw). The family were very friendly but the boundary being so blurred put us off a bit.

    We were not offered breakfast. I thought it was not in the package. Benoit was a lovely host, even though he spoke no English and my French was a collection of words!! The place was clean and quiet and close to the airport.
