10 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Cotonou: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 6, 2023 Claudia Navarrete

Home to many diplomatic services and the largest population in the country, Cotonou is the de facto capital of Benin, although not the official one. Its location at the crossroads between numerous neighboring countries makes it a commercial hub, instrumental in opening trade to the African interior. From Cotonou travelers may depart for tours of the outlying regions. The nearby stilted village of Ganvie is a short day trip from the bustle of Boulevard St. Michel and the Dan Topka market.

Cotonou's best place

Reviewed By pens1fan

All the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome and special. Aime really helped me and my fiancé out while there. He was so nice and I made a really good friends with him. Very special hotel and the staff is awesome. Would not hesitate to book here again. FYI food here is much better than that of the more expensive Golden Tulip.

Tichani Club

Superb place with family atmosphere

Reviewed By Piedrarip

This place about 10 km from Cotonou was a real paradise. Environment is fantastic, very nice garden with fountain gives you feeling you are visiting your friend's house. Very romantic. Room are also very nice and cozy with fan and mosquito net. WiFi Internet is available for reasonable fee. We loved to have breakfast on rooftop terrace. There's wonderful view towards the Route De Pêches. We also ordered a lunch, but it took them too long to prepare and it was average. You can get better deal in any local restaurant. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, one of the best of our stay in Benin.

Nice Simple Hotel

Reviewed By TUOYO A

The hotel is not a big hotel. But it is a small nice hotel. They arranged for me to be chauffeur driven from my stop in town. The environment is clean and neat. The heater was working well. The Wi-Fi was optimal and the food was OK. They were also proactive in reaching out to me, while I was on the road.

Séjour exceptionnel

Reviewed By Danymbote

Séjour professionnel réalisé mi-juillet. Ce qu'il se fait de mieux en termes de rapport qualité-prix : - Chambres, salle de bain nickel; moi qui suis maniaque, je n'ai rien trouvé à redire. Bravo au personnel dédié au nettoyage; - Parties communes : extrêmement propres. Le personnel arbore consciencieusement un masque. C'est un plaisir de sortir de sa chambre pour siroter un verre dans le hall; - Accueil, disponibilité du personnel : exemplaire. L'équipe s'est pliée en 4 pour répondre à nos besoins (coiffeur, sortie au marché etc.) . Je remercie sincèrement et chaleureusement toute l'équipe pour son grand professionnalisme. Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir au Bénin et au Karé Ebène Hôtel. Spécial remerciements à Théo !!!!

KARLS Cozy @ Cotonou

KARLS guesthouse offers clean and cosy rooms (air conditioned, with bathroom), with a functional yet stylish decoration, carefully maintained amenities, a fully equipped kitchen, office services and fast internet. Set in Haie Vive, the entertainment area of Cotonou, with dozens of bars and restaurants in walking distance. For description of the rooms, pics, prices and reservation go to KARLS guesthouse 3 to 6 and KALRS studio. Colours of Africa, local craftsmanship and modern technology – that’s the basic concept of KARLS guesthouse. A decoration made of local products and material, used in a functional manner. All rooms have their own bathroom and air condition (not included in the rate). Guests can use our "green living room", a patio with tropical flowers, and the roof top terrace. A fully equipped kitchen is available for those who want to prepare their own breakfast or meals. KARLS young and highly motivated team will take care of you. Part of our staff is bilingual (English, French) and all of them speak local languages. This might be useful when you want to visit places like Dantokpa market or the handycraft market and need some help with bargaining. Karl, your host has been living in Benin for 11 years and likes to share his experiences and impresssions of the country and Cotonou. Just ask him! We are friendly (or try to be, most of the time), gayfriendly and respectful towards peoples' choices as long as they don’t affect other guests’ wellbeing. And we expect the same from our guests. Haie Vive is for sure Cotonou's area with the largest choice of restaurants and bars. You'll find any kind of cuisine in walking distance from KARLS: Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Lebanese, French, Spanish, Italian, Indian and of course local. A bakery and two supermarkets are just a few 100 yards away. And for your entertainment, there are night clubs, the Sanctuary Rock’n Roll music hall and the Friday night Karaoke at the Nouvelle Brasserie. There is no public transport system in Cotonou, but you'll find a motor taxi at any time of the day and it will take you anywhere at almost no cost. However, it is safer to use a modern cab; prices are reasonable. Ask the reception desk to call a taxi for you.

Super nice and friendly place :-)

Reviewed By Laurinha S

We stayed at Karls with a group of five postgraduate students for our research in Benin and had a great time there! The rooms are very clean, air conditioned and spacious with very nice beds (moscito nets yes!) and bathrooms (hot water yes!) ensuite. There is a fully equipped kitchen, a nice study room and a great roof terrace. It's centrally located in lovely Haie Vive with lots of shops, restaurants and street food just around the corner :-) Karl (Jürgen) will always be there to assist with anything you need! Merci beaucoup :-))
