The Property — The Palms By Eagles Accra
The Palms By Eagles Accra is a clean, no-frills three-star hotel in the Osu district, about a ten-minute walk from the Oxford Street nightlife and the Labadi Beach stretch. The lobby feels like a functional business lounge — tiled floors, modest seating, a polite front desk — and the whole place runs on efficiency rather than charm. It suits budget-conscious travellers, solo business visitors, or short-stay groups who want a safe, central base without paying for resort extras. There’s a small pool and a bar-restaurant, but decor is minimal and the rooms are practical, not plush.
Chronicles of Accra
Accra grew from a 17th-century Ga fishing village into a British colonial capital, with its central grid laid out around the former Christiansborg Castle (now the presidential seat). Independence in 1957 brought modernist buildings like the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and the National Museum, but decades of economic ups and downs left much of the city an energetic mix of colonial verandahs, 1970s concrete blocks, and new glass towers. Today, it’s a loud, sprawling coastal metropolis where traditional markets like Makola sit alongside hip coffee shops and contemporary art galleries in Osu. Culturally, Accra is the pulse of West African music, fashion, and film — a place where loudspeaker call-to-prayer blends with street-hawked Afrobeat until late.
Best Time to Visit
Full Accra guide →Best months
August, November, December — the main rainy season ends in mid-July, so you get afternoons that are still warm (27–30°C) but with lower humidity and far fewer downpours than in June or early July.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak for diaspora visitors returning for the summer holidays; hotel prices at a three-star like The Palms can climb 20–30% and rooms fill fast. The main event is the Chale Wote Street Art Festival in August, which draws huge crowds to Jamestown and Osu.
Budget shoulder season
May and early June, plus September and October offer 15–25% lower rates at The Palms. The rain is still a factor in May/June, but September tends to have a brief dry spell; crowds are thin and many hotel restaurants are near-empty.
Weather & packing
The harmattan dust haze can appear as early as November and coats everything in a fine grit, so bring a silk scarf or buff for your face if you’re sensitive. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket or umbrella every single day — sudden 20-minute downpours happen even in the dry season.
Live City Briefing — Accra
- The new Accra Sky Train project has started test runs on the Tema-Accra corridor, but as of mid-2026 it doesn’t reach Osu; most visitors still rely on tro-tros or ride-hailing (Yango/Bolt) for short trips.
- The Achimota to Nsawam road is undergoing major expansion, causing heavy delays on that route; visitors heading to Kakum National Park should allow an extra hour.
- Oxford Street’s new pedestrianisation trial (weekends only) has made evening strolls and street food easier, but expect more foot traffic and taxi drop-offs at the Makola end.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Palms By Eagles Accra, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing the inner courtyard (away from Patrice Lumumba Road). These floors are high enough to avoid street noise but still within reach if the lift is busy, and the courtyard side is quieter than the street-facing rooms.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (near the lobby and any bar/restaurant noise) and rooms facing Patrice Lumumba Road, especially on floors 1–2, where traffic from this main Accra artery will be loudest, particularly during peak hours and weekends.
Best views
Street-facing rooms on floors 3–4 give a view of Patrice Lumumba Road's urban activity (markets, shops, street life), but it’s noisy. Courtyard views are greener and calmer, but less interesting.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest – above street-level racket but below any rooftop bar or terrace noise if present. Mid-floor rooms in this 4-storey building offer the best balance.
🔊 Noise notes
Patrice Lumumba Road is a major Accra thoroughfare with heavy traffic, including taxis and trotros honking from early morning until late evening. Weekends can be louder with street vendors and music. The hotel's own bar/restaurant (if on ground floor) may add noise until late.
Insider tips
1. If you’re a light sleeper, ask for a courtyard-facing room on floor 3 and bring earplugs – the road noise is persistent even on higher floors. 2. Check-in can be slow at peak times (evenings); arrive early if you can, or ask for a room away from the lift to avoid corridor chatter.
- 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.
