The Property — C'Est Si Bon Hotel and Restaurant
C'Est Si Bon is a quiet, no-fuss three-star in a residential pocket of Accra. The cream facade and tidy courtyard give it the feel of a well-run guesthouse rather than a hotel; the small restaurant terrace becomes the social hub, serving decent local dishes. It suits independent travellers or couples who want clean, reliable accommodation near the city’s southern beaches and Makola Market, and who don't need bells and whistles.
Chronicles of Accra
Accra grew from a 17th-century Ga fishing village into Ghana’s coastal capital under British colonial rule, with James and Ussher forts still marking the old shoreline. Independence in 1957 triggered modernist ambitions—Kwame Nkrumah’s parliament buildings and the Black Star Square—while later decades added the functional concrete of the Kwame Nkrumah Circle. Today the city is a fast-growing sprawl of glass towers, open-air chop bars and traffic jams, its energy shaped by a young population and a thriving Afrobeats music scene.
Best Time to Visit
Full Accra guide →Best months
August and December: dry season, lower humidity, decent visibility for sightseeing.
Peak / festival surge
December is peak, driven by Christmas holidays, repatriation of the diaspora and the Chale Wote Street Art Festival (usually August). Hotels in Accra can double during these months, and advance booking is essential.
Budget shoulder season
September and November offer lower prices, still-good weather (drier than June) and fewer tourists.
Weather & packing
Accra’s two rainy seasons (April–June, September–October) can deliver short, intense downpours that flood roads. Pack a lightweight, packable rain jacket and quick-dry shoes; umbrellas are easy to buy locally.
Live City Briefing — Accra
- The Tema–Accra motorway widening project is ongoing, expect delays between Spintex and the airport junction throughout July.
- New direct night bus service from Kumasi to Accra (VIP Bus) now runs hourly 6pm–11pm, useful if you're arriving overland.
- July is peak of the minor rainy season: carry a pre-paid Vodafone or MTN SIM for real-time flood alerts on Google Maps.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to C'Est Si Bon Hotel and Restaurant, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third floor facing the interior courtyard or gardens. This offers the best balance of quiet and natural light, away from street-level noise and the restaurant's evening bustle. Upper-floor rooms also benefit from less foot traffic near the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or directly above the restaurant – these suffer from kitchen clatter, early breakfast preparation smells, and guest movement noise. Rooms facing the main street on the second floor may pick up traffic sounds, especially during peak hours.
Best views
Rooms overlooking the interior courtyard or a quiet side street offer the best views – greenery or local neighbourhood life instead of dusty traffic. If the hotel has a rooftop or upper balcony, ask for a room with a seaward orientation, though this isn't guaranteed without a specific address landmark.
Quietest floors
Third floor (or the hotel's top floor) is generally the quietest, with fewer neighbours above and less street-level disturbance. If there are higher floors, request one on the top half.
🔊 Noise notes
Accra's streets are lively: expect traffic noise (especially on main roads), occasional music from nearby bars or churches, and early morning sounds from street vendors. The restaurant generates noise from around 6am for breakfast prep and lingering evening diners until 10pm.
Insider tips
1. Request a top-floor room away from the lift shaft to avoid mechanical hum and late-night guest chatter. 2. If you're a light sleeper, pack earplugs – the hotel's central location means occasional street parties or mosque calls, though the 3-star rating suggests basic soundproofing.
- 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

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.
