I've stayed at Villa Victoria every time I've visited Accra. It's like a home away from home, with a small number of spacious, well-appointed guest rooms, plenty of lounges, a conference room and a beautiful, well-tended garden. There are only five rooms, meaning guests get personal and attentive service. Most of the time I've felt like the only guest in the place, because it's so small and quiet. The other guests I've met have been professionals or consultants and have all been very interesting to talk to.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and provide a generous continental breakfast every morning at your convenience. There is a chef who can prepare a wide range of dishes (with notice). The hotel is kept spotless, with daily cleaning. There is cable and wireless internet in every room. Given all of this, Villa Victoria is great value.

The main drawback (for most visitors) is its location. It is a long way from the centre of Accra, and taxi drivers generally don't know the place. You will have trouble getting a taxi to take you through the university campus, as they need a permit to do so and only a few have one. The surrounding area also has few options in the way of night-time entertainment or food. However, it's a great place to stay if you'll mainly be visiting the University of Ghana campus.

Our small group of two men and a married couple stayed at Villa Victoria on 31 January, 2010. Having stayed here previously in November of 2009, I knew we could expect an outstanding, new guesthouse villa with great service near the University of Ghana. We were not disappointed. The rooms are the neatest and cleanest I've ever experienced in Ghana. The villas are stylish and modern. We received made to order food service that was excellent. The prices are very reasonable, easily beating most hotels and lodges nearer to the airport. It is certainly worth the moderate drive to experience this superb hospitality. It is abundantly evident that the owners take special pride in the service they deliver. I highly recommend Villa Victoria.

I completely agree with JayD2006's review (I think we were staying there at the same time). This was an excellent place to stay. With only a few rooms, you got very personalized service. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the food was very good. They have a large selection of dishes to choose from for lunch and dinner, but if you didn't see something you liked they'd fix anything you wanted. I was met at the airport by the hotel, and they returned me to the airport as well, free. Room rates were a good deal for the quality and service. They provide free internet access for your laptop, although it didn't always work well. They also have a business office, where you can use their desktop computer. It's a bit out of the way if you have business downtown, and given the traffic in Accra it can take you a while to get downtown. There isn't a restaurant within walking distance, so you either have to take a cab or eat at the guest house (which I did most nights). There's a small convenience store just down the street, where you can stock up on snacks, drinks, and water.

This guesthouse is a sort of luxury Villa with only five units including standard room and suites. I found it through a local friend after a disappointing stay at the Emperor Hotel. It's located very close the university of Ghana but away from downtown. I had a chance to stay in the suite which was very roomy, a huge king bed, a big walk-in closet and an awsome bathroom with a lot of amenities. The service was excellent and the food served was very good. Breakfast which was included was very basic, you have to pay for the omelet and other extras. Because there are only 5 units, they can't prepare a lot of food so they have to take the order for lunch or dinner ahead of time from each tenant if they are willing to eat onsite. Bottom line I will definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Ghana.
