BIG PROBLEM
BIG PROBLEM! I have stayed at Hotel du Port many times and love the hotel. However, the hotel did not honor my Hotels.com reservation; they explained that They are no longer accepting any reservations through online companies. I was informed that I will need to get a reimbursement from Hotels.com. since Hotels.com already charged me for night, but apparently never paid the hotel. So I was forced to pay for the night, directly to the hotel, after Hotels.com already took my money. I paid twice which and it was a very unpleasant experience after traveling for 24 hours. I know that I should be reimbursed from Hotels.com but I will believe it when I receive it. In the meantime I will never use Hotels.com. Terrible experience.

Nice and comfy hotel
Located not far from the city center with a nice pool. Good breakfast and dinner menu. Helpful and understanding staff. The free airport pick-up and drop-off is a bonus

A Hotel with character
Tremendous swimming Pool. The Port is a full on Container Port at the end of the grounds but it is not obtrusive and gives you something to look at. Mosquitoes a bit of a problem if like me you get bitten; although the rooms have AC they get in. No Shampoo and one block of soap but the room was kept clean and the staff were charming. Only French TV channels which was a bit limiting. I grew to enjoy the place

Staff do not speak English, hotel is not as good
The tolet and, shower and A/C to the room i was assigned was not working, staff do not speak english which was rather very frustrating. when we arrived, i was told i need to pay again because they did not receive my payment meanwhile before i left Canada i see that my credit card has been charged. to get this sorted out took about 1 hr where i had to wait at the reception, thanks to another guest who happens to speak english, he was a God sent and served as the interpreter for the whole episode. we couldnt get like a snack bar, they have a restaurant quite, food was just ok, no big deal. in the evening we wanted to stay at the pool and snack unfortunately there was no snack whatsever. overall, we had to endure thank God it was only for a night

A Little Slice of Paradise
My wife and I recently stayed at the "Hotel Du Port" in Cotonou, and had a phenomenal time. Everything from the charming atmosphere at the lobby to the courteous staffs and diligent management was great. A quick stop at the lovely restaurant downstairs or exploration of the féerique decor around the adjacent swimming pool, and, like us, you'll be hooked for life. This is not an "infomercial." We're true New Yorkers (with everything that applies) who decided to render homage where homage is due... Bravo, guys and gals: your hotel is one more reason for us to comming back to Cotonou !!!! So: "edabo!".......lol Alix and Claudell

Plus. Schwimmbad Garten kokospalmen Freundlichkeit des Personals große des Zimmers. Minus Es wird nicht das minimum investiert um Glühbirne auszutauschen. Klimaanlage zu reparieren kloschusseldeckel auszutauschen usw... Küche gut sehr wenig Auswahl Preis korrekt. Für 39 euros kann man zufrieden sein, wenn man Afrika akzeptiert wie es ist. Sonst nicht zu empfehlen ich werde trotz un Vollkommenheit wieder hingehen.

Je ne sais pas par où commencer, chambre pas propre, salle de bain pas propre avec beaucoup d'odeur qui entre dans la chambre, la télé un cachaumar, on ne peut pas dormir sans pulvériser la chambre à cause des moustiques je suis rentré malade, le service est nul même pas moyen d'imprimer un document à l'hôtel, aucun ordinateur ou imprimante à disposition pour les clients. Tout est à revoir dans cet hôtel, le directeur m'a promis que les choses vont changer mais on verra bien.

J'ai l'habitude de venir chaque année à l'hotel du port avec une agence qui connait bien l'hotel et me sert en conséquence et je suis toujours reparti content de mon séjour. cette fois j'ai changé d'agence sans raison particulière et je constate qu'elle n'a aucune connaissance de l'endroit, EN L'OCCURENCE: VOUS!!....Finalement, étant un fidèle client de l'hotel j'ai pû négocier sur place des conditions telles qu'auparavent. En fait je suis satisfait de la prestation de l'hotel ,mais pas de la votre dans le cadre de l'annonce et je disuaderai tout mon entourage possible pour ne pas utiliser votre agence: La prestation de HOTEL;COM est lamentable

Rapport qualité/prix convenable
Pour ceux qui souhaitent œuvrer dans Cotonou la situation de l’hôtel est centrale mais en contrepartie vous héritez de la pollution du port juste à côté. Les chambres sont propres, grandes, confortables et climatisées. Le jardin intérieur avec piscine est sympa. Mais dommage que le service du petit déjeuner soit défaillant.

Not recommended
Nice and clean swimming pool and garden. Otherwise the hotel cannot be recommended. They did not find our bookings for 3 rooms. Eventually all the rooms we got had some problems, no hot water or no air conditioning or sewerage water coming to the floor; got new rooms okey. Some rooms were not cleaned during our stay. No fire safety devices or escape instructions. Worst of all, a conman approached two of us separately asking for money to get insuline for his diabetes. Had all the syringes, blood sugar measurings etc to show. Promised to pay back generously by bank transfer afterwards. I adviced to go to the hospital. The receptionist brought him into my room, not acceptable to bring people to customers' doors! Poorly educated staff all in all.

Try to avoid it
Please avoid this hotel. For not much more La Marina and IBIS are much better. Water, web AC, cleanness, noise (the port), no screens for mosquitos, etc. It was certainly fabulous 20 or 25 years ago but maintenance and investments are lacking for several years now and it is far from average standards. I travelled in Africa before and it is not a strict comparison with western comfort. Despite that, people are very nice at reception desk.
