Setting and arrival
With 238 rooms, the hotel accommodates many guests, yet its spacious, green grounds never feel crowded.
The rooms
My room had a king bed, seating area, desk and flat-screen TV, with tea and coffee facilities, fast Wi-Fi, minibar and safe. The bathroom has a shower over the bath.
Dining and nightlife
Branche Restaurant serves international and Ghanaian dishes and a generous breakfast buffet; ask for a table outside if the heat allows. On Saturday nights the Branche Lounge hosts music and dancing, and the pool area becomes a meeting place for locals and visitors.
Facilities
There is a casino in the lobby, shops and tour desks, tennis courts and a gym, though the pool was my favourite spot.
The verdict
A dedicated service team, a vibrant pool and a convenient location make the Golden Tulip a well-rounded choice in Accra.
