Novotel Orisha Cotonou

3 of 5 stars
Maryland, USA
10 Feb 2007
6/6 found this review helpful

Agree with other travelers - very generic hotel. But rates were better than the Benin Marina (aka the old Sheraton). And the staff and (very) small lobby are much more friendly. Small rooms were renovated last year to somewhat meet Novotel standards with a very functional built-in cupboard (hangers and doors), safe, and small fridge. Small flat-screen tv. Couch. Balcony.... more

The rooms are nice and... more

No sockets to plug in laptops and chargers... My room was clean and safe, location at the beachfront with a... more

This was a fantastic hotel. The have a very helpful and cordial staff. Rooms were clean and well appointed, many with views of the lagoon. The hotel restaurant is one of the best in Cotonou with its own pizza oven (fantastic pizzas) as well as local cuisine. The swimming pool was also quite large and clean. more
