I don't know if the owners changed or if we weren't as lucky as other people, but our experience was horrible! It was 5 of us: the single room was real small and the windows were right where they did laundry, the 2 double rooms were real small. All the rooms had A/C without remote control (only 2 possibilities: freeze or real hot), no place where to put the mosquito net, no sheets (we asked some but they said we couldn't have any because we had AC rooms and we already had the blanket) and they all were quite dirty. And the hotel is not that cheap. Furthermore, the girl from the reception wasn't polite at all.
On the other hand, the girls of the restaurant were very nice with us and the location is the best of all.

We paid $30 for our room which is one of the cheapest places we stayed in Ghana. The location is very ideal if you have business to do in Cape Coast or want to tour the Cape Coast Castle. Our biggest complaint was that the bathroom was dirty and leaked water everywhere so their was always a grimy film on the floor and shower. Additionally, while there was air conditioning several of the window panes were missing, so it got hot during the night and we could hear loud banding early in the morning from the kitchen outside.

I know a lot of people have given this hotel good ratings, but we had a bad experience. We checked out and moved to the Bridge House in Elmina which was slightly more expensive, but well worth the money.

my trip to cape coast was full of anticipation because i really needed a good an affordable place to chill and relax for 4 days and i sure did find one. Prospect lodge was super cheap,very friendly staff, excellent food and very close to the cape coast slave castle and other cape coast attractions. i stayed in a single room and it only cost 25cedis per night(about 17dollars) and it came with free breakfast too! the room was small and very comfortable. and clean too. the a/c worked perfectly well and they also had hot and cold water bath. All these for 17$ per night. The food was another very good part of the hotel. A plate of rice and beef stew cost 6cedis! That should be around 4$! service was prompt and very professional. when i needed anything like finding my way around cape coast the staff their really went out of their way to help me out. i read lot of reviews on trip advisor before going to cape coast so i decided ro write this one to help intending travelers out. enjoy!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I reserved the rooms ahead of time, but forgot the confirmation notice. I was worried that they would say my rooms were not ready, but when we arrived they welcomed us without hesitation. Very nice staff. There were two beds to a room and nice bathroom. Rooms were clean. Location was close to everything we wanted. Meals were very nice on the patio. We found it relaxing and I plan to go back again this year.
