Accra Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

So there is this lady that is quickly becoming one of my favorite Ghanaians.

Almost every night I have been eating dinner at this place called the Night Market (its only a few blocks away from my hostel). The night market is just a bunch of little huts crammed together. All of the little huts sell just about the exact same things. (more o...

We made it t Accra, and what an epic journey that was!!! We left at 9.30 am from Ouaga, an hour late but in relatively good spirits and looking forward to reaching the Atlantic ocean. 24 hours later, I didn't really care much about the oceanm, and all I wanted was my hotel bed!!

Heyall, So another day has passed in Ghana. Its so funny, but we get tired here so early, I think in large part because it gets dark by 5:30pm, but also probably because of our really full days.

The show isn't worth watching once, let alone twice! Dinner again was an offering of chicken or pasta. Since I wasn't fussy on the chicken last time I went for the pasta. It had po...

sadly, the title for this entry isn't a euphemism, it's true, that was one BIG lizard I saw today, and many more like him the last few days. Yeesh. HOWEVER, I did also forget to mention (what was I thinking ?!?) that Black Star, the Ghanaian Football Team was staying at our hotel most of the week. UHHHH GUUUHHHHHH omawgawd, sweet Mary, Jesus and...

Maureen O'Flagherty flew in to Accra with Derek to quiz Mrs R on the past few months on the road.  What you read is an exact transcript of the conversation between Mrs R and Maureen, over a shared bottle (or 2) of Castle Milk Stout, on the south coast of Ghana. Maureen O'Flagherty:  Well, hello there, Mrs R.  It looks like you've finally taken m...
