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.
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.
Had a great rate there, very good service and nice that you can use the facilities of Novotel. The beds are a little bit too soft, could be firmer. The gym is nice, but it is too hot. investment is needed in better airconditioning. breakfast is decent, but could do with better coffee and muesli.

Very friendly staff. Took long to find my reservation. Room not as clean.
Great place at value. Next to the beach and offer a nice hot breakfast buffet. Comfortable bed and perfect for a business overnight stay or someone wanted just some quiet and frequent walks to the beach. The only thing is I thought I was paying all of the taxes through Expedia. I had to pay the hotel tax. Not sure if this was accurate. I questioned but did not fully dispute it during check out.
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.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
Great location, near airport, safe area, friendly staff and good breakfast.

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.
The atmosphere is quite serene and accessible. Staff well behaved.

Great Value and Facilities in Cotonou
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.
The room was very hot, as the air conditioning was poorly working. The check in staff was apparently unfriendly. We had to request to have bath towels as it wasn’t prepared. The toilet paper wasn’t prepared enough and there was no extra so that we had to use our own. We recommend not to stay here.
