I had the pleasure to stay several days at Novotel Orisha Cotonou. The check in was quick and easy and I got a room near the stairwell and elevator. Wifi worked well for Africa standards. Just be mindful if you want to use multiple devices, you will need to request appropriate number of pass codes since a given pass code... More

Here for a 2 week conference nearby. Hotel was pleasant and clean place to return to every evening & relax at weekends. Was disappointed that one was not allowed to swim in the sea, but the pool made up for this. Swimming in the floodlit pool at night was particularly good.

I stayed 4 nights at Novotel last week. The rooms are the nicest I've seen in West Africa- modern, european furnishings, comfortable beds, desk, and modern, clean bathrooms. Safes are new and reliable. Front desk staff speak good English and were reasonably helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast is good and included in some room rates. The bar is a nice... More

Stayed here for just one night during a business trip to another country. Hotel seemed OK to me: quality rooms, nice swimming pool and garden. Food was enough and of good quality. Location is not that far away from the airport, which is convenient.

Convenient for the airport and close to downtown Cotonou. Spacious public areas on the ground floor. Rooms are standard Novotel - quite OK and very clean. TV channels are very limited if you don't speak any French. Staff at reception and at breakfast were quite rude. WiFi just about OK but very erratic. Breakfast a bit limited - would have... More

the hotel is a perfect sleep over place for business trips. However I stayed there for 3 nights and clear "cracks" appeared in the very nice facade of the hotel. Don't get me wrong, its a perfect 3star business hotel with all the comfort a Novotel brand brings. Rooms are spacious, well equipped and clean. The reception is efficient and... More

I stayed for one night with my 12 year old son and it was nice. My son felt at home and very comfortable in the environment and enjoyed the dinner and breakfast. I had a lot of fun as well as I was able to watch the match between Nigeria and Zambia via satellite Tv. The staff are very professional... More

I have family in Cotonou, my in-laws, and go there often. i needed a respite from the killer heat/humidity and went to the Orisha, i knew they had a pool and an ok restaurant. the pool is a disaster. apart from costing CFA 4000, theft around here, it doesn't allow patrons to eat or drink when resting on its sides....

In a good calm environment, a big and clean swimming pool, but has no gym. The food was good but not excellent. If you want a place to chill out, cool off and not be bothered by so ails of any type then this is it.

Was there for a conference organised by the African Cashew Alliance. Barring a few staff in the restaurant, the general attitude of the reception were that they were doing us a favour. Very slow, rude at times, the reception staff did every thing to make us uncomfortable. The Bar staff initially was also quite curt and unhelpful, but a few... More
