The Property — Hotel de White House
Hotel de White House sits on the main road through Anloga, a no-fuss three-star with clean rooms, reliable air conditioning and a small courtyard garden. The lobby feels like a well-run guesthouse – polished concrete floors, a television playing local news, and a receptionist who knows the ferry times to Keta. It suits independent travellers who want a straightforward base for exploring the Volta Region’s coast and lagoons, with no pretense of resort luxury.
Chronicles of Anloga
Anloga grew as a central settlement of the Anlo Ewe people, whose migration from Notsé (in present-day Togo) in the 17th century shaped the area's social and political structures. The town became a hub for the transatlantic slave trade through nearby forts, later transitioning to fishing and salt production that still define its economy. Colonial-era German and British influences appear in scattered mission buildings, while modern Anloga is a quiet administrative centre with a strong organic market. Its contemporary identity is deeply rooted in Ewe traditions, including the annual Hogbetsotso festival celebrating the migration story.
Best Time to Visit
Full Anloga guide →Best months
August and December – clear skies after the main rains, moderate humidity, and fewer tourists than during Hogbetsotso, Keta Lagoon is calm for boat trips.
Peak / festival surge
July and November: July overlaps with Hogbetsotso (usually first week) – the town fills with returnees and cultural events, hotel prices can double and advance booking is essential. November sees the Harmattan’s dusty harmattan winds but still busy with Christmas build-up.
Budget shoulder season
April and May – the rains are sporadic, not daily torrents; hotels drop rates by 20–30%, you get the lagoon to yourself.
Weather & packing
July in Anloga means the tail of the rainy season: sudden afternoon downpours and humidity around 80% – expect mud on unpaved streets. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and sandals that can handle puddles; no need for rain boots.
Live City Briefing — Anloga
- The Anloga–Keta ferry resumed full service in June 2026 after engine repairs; check departure times at the dock – it cuts the road journey from 50 minutes to 15.
- The new bridge over the Volta Estuary at Sogakope is nearly complete, due to open September 2026 – will reduce travel time from Accra by about 45 minutes.
- Salt-mining activity along the lagoon shore has increased this dry season, creating roadside stalls selling smoked tilapia and coconut – a good local lunch stop.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel de White House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor. This keeps you off the ground (less street noise and passersby) and avoids the climb if the lift is out—common in 3-star Ghana hotels. First-floor rooms here typically face the rear courtyard, which is quieter than the front.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street. Anloga is a busy market town on the Volta region's main coastal road; ground-level front rooms pick up early morning hawker calls, trotro horns, and dust from the unpaved verge.
Best views
Limited. Anloga is flat and mostly low-rise; a first-floor rear room looks over neighbours' compound walls and maybe a glimpse of the Keta Lagoon. No sea view here—the coast is a few km south.
Quietest floors
First floor (rear-facing rooms)
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the main Anloga road (trotros, motorbikes, market activity 6am–6pm). Occasional generator noise if mains power drops, which happens daily in the Volta Region. Friday nights can have church or bar sound systems close by.
Insider tips
1. Request a rear-facing first-floor room during booking—this hotel sells out on weekends when Ghanaians travel for funerals or festivals, and the quiet rooms go first. 2. Bring earplugs and a small fan: the lift and generator may be unreliable, and rooms might not have AC, only a ceiling fan, which is normal for a 3-star in Anloga.
- 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 Anloga
💡 Buy fried plantain or grilled tilapia from the women cooking near the lorry station—best value in town. Come before 9am for the freshest fish and fewer motorbikes.
💡 Remove shoes before entering the inner area. Visit on Thursday mornings when elders often hold private rituals; stay quiet and observe from the edge of the courtyard.
💡 Bring binoculars and a hat; the access path near the fishing jetties is unofficial but clear. No signage, so ask locally for 'the lagoon walk'.
💡 Go early in the morning around 6am to see fishermen hauling nets; locals are happy to chat but never photograph without asking.
💡 The free oceanfront walkway behind the fort offers excellent views of the Atlantic and the fort's cannons. Go late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds.
