Detente Hotel
Abidjan|1.04km from Église Méthodiste
Although only short, we really enjoyed our stay here. We arrived late on a Thursday night and checked out on the Saturday morning. Staff spoke wonderful English and were very accommodating of all our needs. On the first night I felt terrible as I went back to reception at least four times to ask for different things (a second towel, water etc) (eek!). The room, although small, was very clean and the air-conditioning worked well. Breakfast was selected the night before, based on about three or four different selections: what we’d like and what time we’d like it. Choices were generally an omelette, pastries, or local dishes with meat. We opted for the basic pastries each morning, though no butter or spreads accompanied them. Otherwise, the bread was very fresh! We also had freshly squeezed juices with our breakfast and they were great! Our stay was incredibly quiet and we slept very well on both nights, partly as I don’t think there were many people staying there at the time. The bed was also super comfortable, though perhaps not to everyone’s liking as the mattress was quite hard (which I love). The only real drawback to our stay is just how far away from everything the hotel is (and maybe also the very dim lighting in the room, as others have commented). That being said, it’s a very local area and a great opportunity to explore away from the tourist sites. As we were to depart the Ivory Coast in a few days and needed Covid tests, staff were very generous in printing out documentation for us upon check out (thank you again!). We’d definitely stay again :)
Very Good
