There is a noticeable odor inside hallways and rooms yet served its 1 night stay purpose. This would not be a long-term stay for me, 2 nights max. Small side-note, it is next door to the Novotel Orisha Hotel.

It's a 2 star hotel with 2 star service! You get what you pay for. Don't expect anything more

The staff was amazing. Super friendly, made me feel at home. In honor of my gracious hosts I purchased the local attire and they loved it and made me feel so welcome at home, BENIN 🇧🇯 truly is a very nice place to visit. I’ll be back again.

Ibis is always a reliable go to hotel when you’re looking for great value.
The Ibis in Cotonou, although showing some wear and tear is still great value and it is clean with great service.
Because you also have access to the Novotel pool and on site gym facilities you will lack nothing.

Il y avait un peu d'odeur dans les chambres sentant le renfermé et des tâches sur le lit.
Malheureusement pas de photos pris.

Ibis had the only availability in my companies range. I have stayed in Ibis elsewhere and was satisfied. The staff was nice and polite but the hotel is old and the rooms smell of mold. The breakfast is very basic and the water pressure and temperature is up and down. The only plus is that since it’s owned by Novotel (which is next door) you can go over and use their facilities and dine. Mold in rooms. Mini fridge leaking water in floor. The employees are doing the best they can but this hotel badly needs renovation.

The check out took almost an hour to be completed. Couldn’t get my receipt before leaving.Still waiting on it.
Before arriving, i requested an airport pick up but nobody answered my calls or messages.
Customer service needs a lot of improvement

It was walking distance to the World Bank office where I had my meetings. The dinner buffet at Novotel next door was nice. The shared lake facility was great for evening walk to refresh.

The Ibis Hotel Cotonou is an Accor hotel. It is basic and relatively cheap. It offers breakfast but otherwise dinning options are limited. The staff on duty on arrival were rather indifferent and offhand - although staff rostered on subsequent days were pleasant to deal with. The rooms are quite small and lack facilities such as free tea and coffee, tissues and bottled water. After eating their food I suffered from stomach pains and diarrhea for three days. I had two subsequent one day bookings at the Ibis in August which I then cancelled. The bookings were via Expedia who advised that the money I paid would not be refunded as a result of Accor policies - and this was despite the fact that the two days and more were booked at another more expensive Accor hotel (so Accor got my money twice). I would not advise travelers to avoid the Ibis as there were some positives but do not expect more than a basic service.
