Das Eigentum — Bora Bora
The Bora Bora is a straightforward 3-star guesthouse in Accra's Osu district, with basic furnishings, a small pool, and a courtyard that feels more like a well-kept family home than a hotel. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, quiet base within walking distance of Oxford Street's bars and shops without paying for frills. Standing in the lobby you get the sense of a place run by people who know the neighbourhood and can point you to the best chop bar around the corner.
Chroniken von Accra
Accra grew from a series of 17th-century European trading forts, with Danish, Dutch, and British outposts clustering along the coast. The British made it their colonial capital in 1877, and independence in 1957 under Kwame Nkrumah saw ambitious modernist buildings like the Independence Arch and Black Star Square. Today, the city's architecture is a jumble of colonial villas, 1960s concrete blocks, and sleek glass towers, reflecting a fast-growing economy. Its cultural identity is anchored in Ga traditions, vibrant markets like Makola, and a thriving contemporary arts and music scene.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bora Bora, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the back of the building, away from the street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but still accessible via the lift if it works. The rear side faces the quieter interior courtyard rather than the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (especially those facing the street) due to traffic noise from Accra’s busy roads, and because 3-star security can be patchy. Also avoid rooms directly next to the lift shaft on any floor — lifts in mid-range Accra hotels can be noisy at all hours.
Best views
The best view is from higher floors at the front, overlooking the street and any nearby greenery or city skyline. However, this comes with traffic noise. Rear rooms offer a quiet courtyard or neighbouring buildings view.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, assuming the building has a lift and those floors are above street level noise. If the hotel has only 4 floors, these offer the best balance of quiet and convenience.
🔊 Noise notes
Accra’s traffic starts early and runs late — honking, trucks, and motorbikes are common. The hotel’s street address suggests it’s on a main road, so front-facing rooms will be loud. There may also be noise from a generator during power cuts, common in Accra.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the 4th floor at the back when booking — it’s the quietest spot. 2. If you’re driving, check if the hotel has gated parking; street parking in Accra is risky and may add noise at night.
- 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-Attraktionen 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.
