The Highbridge Guest Lodge

A great place to stay for work at the University of Ghana. Very tastefully decorated and with friendly personnel always ready to help.

We spent our first two nights in Ghana here and it was a relatively peaceful stay! PROS: - very quiet - very comfy bed in a clean, spacious room - good air-con - friendly, if not a tad shy, staff - peaceful/beautiful breakfast area — it was cooler (temperature-wise) eating outside than it was inside our room! - pretty garden and oh-so-quiet: you’d hardly know you were in a big city! - breakfast took forever to be made on our first morning and we ended up being late to meet our guide; for the second morning, we pre-ordered breakfast the night before … TBH, we didn’t think they’d remember (nothing was written down), but they did and it was ready right on time! CONS: - upon arrival the bathroom bin was still full in our room from previous guests (staff did apologize for this and emptied it straight away) - the light from the hallway was shining into our room all night - the bed sheets had holes in them; there was no blanket on the bed - the tap in the bathroom sink wouldn’t turn on all the way (a poor feat of engineering) - thin walls: we could hear the TV in the room next to us (the person had it on very late and then again just after 6am each morning) - we were woken by staff on the first morning with an unexpected phone call just before 7am (apparently it was a breakfast reminder, though we hadn’t requested the wake-up call) - wifi was spotty at best - though we can’t really speak to the location as we never left the hotel except in a car, when we did leave we couldn’t see much in the area as we drove by TIPS: - don’t forget to turn on the water heater switch if you want hot water!
