I stayed at La Licorne for 2 weeks recently on a business trip. The hotel is small and intimate and makes a pleasant change from the the venues in the city centre. I had a very large room which was well kept and very clean. Altogether, the hotel was spotless. The wifi internet worked most of the time and was... More

I stayed at the Licorne during a ten day business trip in Abidjan. The place is peaceful, the proprietor helpful, and the local staff friendly and reliable. The room was large and super clean, and in comparison with the tired chains like Novotel, the price/quality relationship is infinitely better. The hotel is in a good location in 2 Plateaux, a...

The rooms are alright, but a bit stuffy. My room had only tiny windows. The real bad thing: The whole place smells from the old dog that hangs out everywhere as well as from cat's pee. I was very disappointed after what I'd read here and on Lonley Planet. The location is great though but next time I'll definitely go... More

I spent 2 nights at Le Griffon during a recent business trip to Cote d’Ivoire. The hotel is really a nice friendly little place, a welcome respite from the busy streets of Abidjan. It is not located in the CBD of the city, but in the suburb of Deux Platauex. There didn’t seem to be much around the place but... More

Its small, it's not "flash" but it's got great decor, it's got great value and you always feel welcome. Definitely somewhere I feel comfortable and the balance of great food and welcoming hosts keepsake coming back.

The Licorne and Griffon are great hotels in a great location, II Plateau, near a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. The beds are great - firm mattresses and clean sheets, functioning A/C, wifi, and a good French restaurant. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, though they don't speak English. Laundry service is provided, and it is secure -... More

The two hotels, which a family run, would better be described as traditonal Auberges (if found in France) or Coaching Inns (if found in England) neither of which you would expect to find in a modern cosmipolitain city as Abidjan, in West Africa. The welcome is warm, and the facilities are good. Free Wifi is available, the food is excellent,... More

I spent slightly more than two weeks at the Licorne - the Staff is helpful ' The upstairs rooms are a better bet than those by the now full pool. Try # 2 or # 4. This pocket hotel offers clean rooms, much better than average food, Airconditioning that works, Ample hot water and sheets. The owners run a tight... More

Having previously stayed at the Novotel in a dead downtown area with disappointing food and very uninteresting rooms, I found that the Licorne and Griffon were highly recommended in the Lonely Planet guide. I stayed at the Licorne and was very glad I chose it. The bedrooms were large, comfortable and well equipped although perhaps a little dated. The restaurant... More
