Best Hotels in Ga West, Ghana

My 14 days quarantine experience at this Hill View Hotel at McCarthy Hill has been like a well planned, excellent vacation needed after a long flight to Ghana, in the mist of a pandemic. I feel safe, well nourished, rested and so 'spoiled' by the whole team caring for my stay in these challenging times. My meals are always cooked and served hot; they include daily breakfast, lunch & dinner. *I will encourage travelers going to Ghana, secure your place at Hill View Hotels for the best experience. One is located at McCarthy Hill and the other at West Airport area, all under the same management, a family owned hotel business. *Please, make sure that you don't confuse Hill View Hotels with any other name(s). Call the hotel directly from your online research number and let your enquiries help you make informed decisions. I thank Hill View Hotels management for taking me in for my required 14 days quarantine by Ghana immigration authorities and turning it into a pleasant and nourishing experience for me. I definitely will return here on our next family visit to Ghana after the COVID-19 shutdown. Stay safe and stay blessed 🙏 Joyce

: ”Had an amazing stay! The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and the service was top-notch. Can't wait to come back!”

It was great experience 🥰

I used to come to the bar with a friend mostly for lunch..after work. The food was tasty and the servers were friendly too..the only problem i had all this while was the delay of food..but i always vented out to the servers and we both laughed over it every time. They are super cool though..and washrooms are clean too. Looking forward to using their hotel services and hope the foods come on time

We were definitely surprised to find a gem at the end of a dusty, rocky road. We were greeted upon arrival and led to a VERY spacious room that had a balcony overlooking the lush grounds. It was lovely to look out through the coconut palms and see the stretch of sand for a very long way. We had fresh fish, prawns and lobster - even the tomatoes tasted so sweet and flavorful. The highlight of the meals were the Ghanaian specialties. I felt like there was an auntie in the kitchen blending spices and secrets to plate our meals everyday. The hotel is adjacent to a beach that non-guests pay a small fee to enter. I imagine it wold be crowded and littered and out of control were it not for this gatekeeper. As a hotel guest, my quick boat ride was free. The beach was fairly empty when I went, which I was glad for. There were not any chaise loungers but the attendant quickly put a chair under a thatch hut . I was offered a menu but did not eat anything while on the beach. There were no annoying vendors which was a huge PLUS; only a horseback rider who kept it moving when I declined. The sunrise, and the sunset couldn't have been more beautiful. Hats off to the hotel servers (Carol, Linda) and the cooks, they made sure that the food was always worth waiting for. Don't be in a hurry, just relax with a glass of wine and the Afrobeats playing through the ocean breeze. Even the housekeepers, Janet and Grace, were super sweet and conscientious going out of their way to do our laundry as our luggage was delayed. Thank you to the owner for helping arrange many trips to the airport to try to recover our luggage. The managers were extremely accommodating, even offered us a bottle of wine to take away our troubles upon arrival. It was a stay to remember.

I stayed here for my first week from the 25th March 2022. I was very happy with the service and the area. Somethings from my room were not complete, for example having my own sofa which was of inconvenience when my guests arrived but my host made sure I was comfortable and promised to look after me the next time. I was happy to come back after my trip from Kumasi. However everything went down hill. Room was disorganised, broken curtains, bed made was incomplete, low/no wifi. Ceiling mould and damp. Made a compliant in which the maintenance team attended and informed me they were trying to gain access in the afternoon but no one was in. Bear in mind I had not received any phone calls or messages about this. Furthermore, I explained the room is no fit condition to be receiving guests and should be fixed first, this was not a matter of completing it in the afternoon that I checked in! Rubbish! One of the workers agreed and also made it known to the maintenance team she had been complaining about this room for a while. They moved me to a temp room for the night. With weak/very limited wifi, some stained walls, broken shower, sticky toilet bin lid and the toilet making loud and long flushing noises. I moved in total four times. They also gave me a room with stained bed sheets and scaffolding in which workers would be walking across my balcony. With the help of my old host and a nice lady, I got a lovely apartment. The host, required payment but did not want to do an online bank transfer, did not have a card machine. So I paid via World Remit money in which money was taken out of my account but her transactions was not cleared. She wanted me to pay again, in which I told her I will not be paying twice, she will have to wait until the refund is cleared. I had to request for a refund (took 3 working days), was also being chased for full payment for the moulded room. House keeping forgot to lock my room. At this point I was fed up. I asked for some negotiation in having a late check out as my flight departed late at night and with everything I had dealt with before, this was by passed and not even considered. I was then charged the highest exchange rate which meant i was paying more (they say different agents use different exchange rates). This meant I was given the host/agent nearly £94 extra which is around about/over 800 GHC. For all the lack of customer service, sympathy and them always chasing me for payments like I was a criminal. I will not be coming back again! I honestly wish I left my experience at week one, rather than returning back to end my stay in Ghana. If you want a modern place , great location/pool side views, lots of tourists etc, stay there. I expected way more for up-keeping and maintenance. Highly disappointed with round two stay at Embassy Gardens.

Good location, very kind of staff, Room clean

I arrived and wasn’t too impressed because what you see and read online were completely different. For starters, it is not near the airport, it’s a good 30-45mins on a good day, with traffic you’re looking at anything above hour and a half. The road is terrible and dusty. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, you’re not going to walk to the nearest shopping mall/store as it’s over an hour away, believe me I tried it. The staff are jovial and polite but not helpful. Will promise to fix stuff but won’t get to do it, not because they’re busy. Got woken up one night by room service ordered by a different room, was not impressed, doesn’t take a minute to check what room made the order. The website promises free WiFi but you’ll have to sit in reception to get it, which is so slow will only send emails, forget Netflix or video calls. Water and electricity are unreliable, could cut out without warning, did for me in the middle of having a shower, not good. Room is spacious enough but not much of a view from the balcony, there’s a wall about 2 metres from your balcony for you to admire. I know it’s not the Hilton but even for a cheap hotel this is dismal, wouldn’t recommend.
