The Property — Alisa Hotel Labone
Alisa Hotel Labone is a no-frills business hotel in a quiet residential corner of Accra. The lobby is cool and marble-floored, with a small front desk that runs efficiently and a café-bar off to one side. It suits travellers who want a clean, safe base near Osu and the airport without paying for a resort or a boutique design statement.
Chronicles of Accra
Accra grew from a small Ga fishing village into the colonial capital of the British Gold Coast in 1877, after the British took over from the Danes at Christiansborg Castle. Independence in 1957 brought modernist buildings such as the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and the National Museum, while James Town and Ussher Town retain 19th-century merchant houses and forts. Today, Accra is a sprawling hub of commerce, art and a fast-growing creative scene, where traditional chiefs still hold power alongside city government. The city’s identity is a mix of laid-back seaside life and relentless urban energy.
Best Time to Visit
Full Accra guide →Best months
August and December are the most comfortable months: dry, slightly cooler than the humid rest of the year, and with fewer rain disruptions. Avoid the heavy rains in June if you want reliable outdoor plans.
Peak / festival surge
March is the busiest month for diaspora visits during the Panafest/Emancipation Day season and for Easter-related events. Hotel prices at properties like Alisa can rise 20-30% over regular rates, and rooms book out two months ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April and early July offer a good trade-off: rain is still possible but less intense than in June, and you’ll find discounts of 15-20% compared with March prices. The weather is warm but not suffocating, and the beaches and restaurants are quiet.
Weather & packing
Accra’s climate is hot and humid all year, with no true cool season. Pack lightweight, breathable cotton or linen clothes, a rain jacket for sudden downpours, and mosquito repellent for evenings.
Live City Briefing — Accra
- The Accra-Tema motorway reconstruction is ongoing, adding up to an hour to drives between the airport and Tema; allow extra time for airport transfers.
- Labone’s main road market has been pedestrianised since early 2026, so taxis can’t drop you right at the stalls; park near the police station.
- July 2026 is the start of the rainy season’s second peak — expect heavy but short-lived downpours most afternoons; check with your hotel if pool or outdoor areas have afternoon closures.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Alisa Hotel Labone, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the back of the building, away from the main road. These floors are high enough to reduce ground-level noise but still accessible by stairs if the single lift is slow or broken.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception, bar, or service entrance — they suffer from foot traffic, late-night chatter, and kitchen clatter. Also skip rooms facing the street side, as Labone is a busy residential-commercial area with taxis and okadas (motorcycle taxis) from early morning.
Best views
From rear-facing rooms on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you'll overlook the hotel's quiet courtyard or neighbouring low-rise houses — no traffic, just daily Accra life. Front-facing rooms give you a direct view of the street and its constant flow of cars and pedestrians.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors at the rear of the building.
🔊 Noise notes
Labone is a mix of residential and light commercial, so morning okada taxis, honking, and street hawkers start around 6am. The hotel bar can be lively on weekends until late. If you're on a business trip, request a quiet room when booking.
Insider tips
1. Park in the secured lot at the back — it's safer and quieter than leaving your car on the street. 2. Check-in early (before 3pm) to have your pick of rooms; ask for a top-floor rear room specifically. If the lift is unreliable, the stairs are manageable up to the 3rd floor.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Use Forex bureaux or bank ATMs in Osu or the Airport area; avoid the airport kiosks and tourist-area exchange desks — rates are poor.
Cards work in large supermarkets, hotels and some restaurants, but cash is king in markets, trotros, and small shops — always carry small notes.

Top Attractions in Accra
💡 Go early, around 7am, when it’s cooler and less crowded. Keep valuables hidden and haggle politely—half the starting price is a fair target.
💡 Visit on a weekday morning when the square is mostly empty. The monument is unguarded, so just walk up—no ticket needed.
💡 Focus on the basement—it has the best displays on pre-colonial life. Plan for 45 minutes max; the air conditioning is a bonus.
💡 Arrive before noon to avoid the heat. Bring a hat and water, and skip the guided tour if you’re short on cash—the exhibits are self-explanatory.
💡 Avoid Sundays unless you want a packed crowd. Go on a weekday for a serene experience, and buy fresh coconut from the vendors for 2 GHS.
