3/5 – A Time Capsule Stay in the Heart of Osu
I stayed at Paintsiwa Wangara Apartments from Wednesday 12 November to Monday 17 November, right in the lively Osu area of Accra—close to great food spots, Republic Bar, street markets, and everything you’d want if you’re exploring the city for the first time. The location alone earns major points.
The Vibe: Early-2000s Nostalgia Trip
The apartments feel like they were built in the early 2000s… and then politely left exactly as they were. If you’ve ever wondered what hotel living felt like in the late 90s/early 2000s, wonder no longer—this place is a living museum.
But honestly? I didn’t mind it. It has charm, just not the modern kind.
Privacy Level: Maximum
I didn’t see a single other guest my entire stay. Not one.
So if you want absolute peace, quiet, and zero human interaction, this is your sanctuary.
The staff and security are genuinely lovely—but they also leave you completely alone unless you ask for something, which I personally appreciated.
The Apartment Itself
Spacious with a kitchen, dining area, living space, and balcony.
Very DIY. Think: “you can relax here, but also… good luck.”
The facilities are dated, visibly worn, and at times “under construction,” particularly in the corridors.
The kitchen feels more suited for long-term stays, and the bathroom definitely remembers the early 2000s fondly.
The TV is modern, the A/C works, and once the water pressure fixed itself after Night 1, showers were fine.
A Note on Safety… of the Appliances
The electric stovetop had some questionable wiring—I got a little tingly current running through me when I touched it.
Not in a romantic way.
More in an “oh, that’s electricity” way.
Breakfast: A Highlight
Breakfast was a delight—delivered to my door every morning between 8:00 and 8:45am.
Good portions, a mix of European-style options, fruit, and drinks.
I genuinely felt special receiving it every morning.
(Just note: no breakfast on weekends, but the price is reasonable enough that it’s not a dealbreaker.)
Wi-Fi & Reception
Wi-Fi was initially a challenge from my room in the annex, but once I asked the staff for the correct password, it worked fine.
Reception is chilled and helpful—day or night.
Housekeeping only happens if you request it. Otherwise, you’re left in peace.
Security
Strict about logging visitors, which I appreciate.
It feels like a safe place, and the guards are friendly and professional.
The Overall Experience
Is it perfect? No.
Does it need investment? Yes.
Does the wiring need prayer? Also yes.
Should the owner consider a renovation? Absolutely.
But despite all that, I liked staying here.
It gave me:
privacy,
space,
peace - I cant say quiet because you can hear the planes going overhead from the airport. but i got used to them.
sufficient security,
lovely staff,
and an excellent location.
I loved my time in Accra, and this apartment gave me a calm home base between adventures. Just don’t expect luxury or modern hotel standards—this is a 3-star apartment complex that does exactly what a 3-star place should do.
If you’re self-sufficient, easygoing, and looking for space and quiet, this is a solid choice.
If you want polished finishes, daily housekeeping, and flawless facilities—you’ll need to look elsewhere.

I enjoyed my stay. The facility is well kept and in a very good location with easy access to all kinds of activities. Security is very high and the staff are friendly.

리뷰어On the plus side: they provide a complimentary airport pickup service. When I arrived, I was upgraded to a better room. The hotel is located closer to the airport than to the city center, so it's a great option if you need to be near the airport or the University of Ghana.
The negative side: it's far from the city center, and I think it's too expensive for what the hotel offers. I insisted a lot on the breakfast issue because I had read comments about the problems people had experienced trying to have breakfast there. In my case, I was going to attend some conferences, so punctuality in serving breakfast was important. Although I called reception at 7:00 AM to make sure I could have breakfast at 7:30 and they told me yes, when I went at 7:30 the guy at reception didn't know anything about it and had to go look for breakfast, so I couldn't have breakfast at the hotel and had to take it with me.
There's almost no natural light in the room, and the artificial lighting is very dim, so if you like places with plenty of natural light, this isn't the place for you. At 6:00 AM, they start making a lot of noise outside – I understand it's related to cleaning, but it sounds like they're scraping something. I think they should be more respectful of guests' rest.
The water pressure isn't enough to wash your hair if you have long hair, and I couldn't get hot water either.
I wanted to get a SIM card upon arrival at the airport, but since my flight arrived late, I didn't want to keep the driver waiting. I asked him if there would be any place near the hotel to get a SIM card. He told me he would do it for me because a special card was needed that foreigners didn't have. Even though I asked him if he thought it was possible with just my passport, he said it wasn't possible. He wanted to charge me 100 GHS to do it himself, and I told him I would think about it. In the end, I did it myself with my passport – so it is indeed possible, and they charged me 25 GHS.
I had planned to stay 6 more days, but all these events made me end up canceling my stay at this place and moving to another, cheaper place with better service.

Jellybean1I stayed at theThe Pelican Hotel Hotel in Cantonments for a six‑night business trip (Standard Room). The location is excellent – Cantonments is a safe, quiet, and well‑connected neighbourhood, close to several embassies, corporate offices, and good restaurants. The hotel itself is modest in size but well run. The Standard Room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the air conditioning worked effectively – essential for Accra’s climate. Wi‑Fi was stable enough for emails, video calls, and light file transfers, though speeds dipped slightly in the evening. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, arranging taxis and offering local advice. Breakfast was a simple but satisfying mix of fresh fruit, eggs, toast, and local coffee.
So why not 5 stars? The room, while clean, felt a bit dated – the furniture had visible wear, and the water pressure in the shower fluctuated. There is no proper desk in the Standard Room; I had to use a small side table for my laptop, which was not ideal for a longer business stay. Housekeeping was inconsistent – one day they forgot to replenish bottled water.

Beautiful environment and especially great vibe at the pool and restaurant area. In the evenings they play some music and it’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy if you don’t feel like going out. You can have a drink and they even have shisha if you like. The waitress Catherine at breakfast time was absolutely lovely! Warm and helpful and friendly, we really missed her when she wasn’t around on the weekend. The one thing I didn’t like about our stay was that some of the front desk staff seemed to have a bit of an attitude towards us because we had extended multiple times and chose to do so through trip as it’s cheaper than the USD rates that the hotel charges directly. They said that what we paid through trip was too little however, we didn’t make those rates so I found that a bit rude. The whole hotel operates on USD rates so for value added services like laundry or transportation it can be very overpriced.

Nana A. K.객실은 깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 3박 동안 묵었는데 룸서비스 직원이 방에 와서 뭔가를 해달라고 요청한 적은 한 번도 없었어요. 그 외에도 직원들이 매우 친절하고 도움이 많이 되었습니다. 위치는 훌륭하지만 약간 시끄러운 편입니다. 하지만 일상생활에 지장을 줄 정도는 아니었어요. 다음에 또 방문할 의향이 있습니다.

환상적인 경험이었습니다! 내가 도착한 순간부터 직원들은 따뜻하고 환영하며 모든 세부 사항에 세심한주의를 기울였습니다. 호텔의 활기차고 세련된 장식은 그 이름에 걸맞게 활기차면서도 편안한 분위기를 자아냅니다.
객실은 깨끗하고 편안했습니다. 음식도 인상적이었고 현지 및 세계 각국의 취향에 맞는 다양한 맛있는 옵션이 있었습니다. 매우 유쾌한 요리사와 따뜻한 미소로 들어서면 당신을 만듭니다.
공항과 가까운 호텔은 내 체류에 매우 편리했지만 여전히 도시의 번잡함에서 벗어나 휴양지처럼 느껴졌습니다. 비즈니스 또는 레저를 위해 방문하든이 호텔은 편안함과 스타일이 완벽하게 혼합되어 있습니다. 나는 확실히 다시 여기에 머물 것이다!
