I first visited Cotonou after Christmas in '06 - I traveled with friends from Ghana through Togo and over to Benin to visit a friend who had married a Benin pastor and was living here. Now I have been spending most of this year in Cotonou. The people are friendly and helpful - a bit easier if you speak French... more

Stayed at the Ibis for 4 nights in August 2009. The hotel is located about 5 minutes from the airport and about 10 minutes from center of Cotonou. The city is small so getting around is pretty easy. The hotel is located in the same complex as the Novotel. The hotel is new and everything seems very clean and in... more

I stayed 12 nights at the Ibis having been booked into the hotel by the organisation for which I was in Cotonou on business. I arrived later than my colleagues at 4 a.m. and was immediately asked for a cash deposit (as they don't accept mastercard). Although I was assured that I would get my USD back when I paid... more

I've stayed in this hotel twice in the last year for a total of 5 nights. I found the hotel to be a little dated in terms of decor, but clean and tidy. Good points were the swimming pool and the restaurant. Also wifi in lobby and internet in the room if you borrow a cable from reception. Check out... more

Located at the fishing port near the entrance to the East Jetty is the Marquis du Port, an air conditioned cinder block building, sadly with no great waterfront views, nor romantic lighting. \it is popular with locals, who you don't see at most of the upscale places in Cotonou. They have a limited selection of beer and wine, but they... more

The fillet of beef with mushrooms was well prepared and tender, the best beef that I have had in town. The place is next to other restaurants so if you don't like the place or it is crowded, you don't have to go far for an alternative. If you get a table near the street, peddlers will pester you, but... more
