Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mac Tonto Guest Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3rd floor or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel is located on a relatively busy street in Ashaiman. The lack of lift access to all floors means you'll likely have to use the stairs, which may help reduce noise from the lift area. Additionally, rooms on the south side (assuming a typical Ghanaian building orientation) may receive some natural light and a view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or near the service entrance, as they may be prone to noise from the street and service staff activity. Also, if you're a light sleeper, you may want to steer clear of rooms near the lift, as it may be a source of noise, especially if there's a lot of foot traffic.
Best views
South-facing rooms on the higher floors (3rd floor or above) may offer a view of the surrounding area, but it's worth noting that Ashaiman is a densely populated area, so the views may not be particularly scenic.
Quietest floors
2nd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially if you're on the ground floor or near the service entrance. The hotel's location on a busy street in Ashaiman means you may hear some traffic and pedestrian activity.
Insider tips
Request a room with a fan instead of air conditioning, as the heat and humidity in Ashaiman can be intense, and the fan may be sufficient for cooling. Also, consider requesting a room closer to the front desk, as it may be more convenient for check-in and any issues that may arise during your stay.
- 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

Ashaiman Main Station → Bamfo Hotel area
💡 Tro-tros are the cheapest local transit but chaotic. Look for ones with 'Ashaiman' signs. From the main station, flag one heading toward the Community 22 direction. Have exact change—drivers don't break large notes. Keep your phone and wallet zipped.
Kotoka International Airport (ACC) → Bamfo Hotel, Ashaiman
💡 Agree on a fixed fare before getting in; expect 200-300 GHS. Use e-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt for a safer ride, though surge pricing can double it during peak hours.
Circle/Accra Central → Ashaiman Terminal
💡 STC buses are reliable but don't serve the airport directly. From ACC, take a taxi to Circle station first (about 20 GHS), then catch the Ashaiman bus. Buses can be crowded; stand at the front queue from Bamfo Hotel to avoid pushing.
Ashaiman Central → Bamfo Hotel
💡 Cheaper than private taxi but slower—drivers wait until the car fills. Hail from the roadside and say 'Bamfo Hotel.' They'll drop you at the main road; the hotel is a short walk. Avoid shared taxis after dark due to safety concerns.
