Das Eigentum — La Paradise Inn
La Paradise Inn is a no-frills three-star in a residential corner of Osu, the kind of place where the cracked tiles meet a workable air-con and a front desk that knows the neighbourhood bus routes. The lobby smells of bleach and boiled rice from the small attached kitchen; it’s a pragmatic base for a solo budget traveller or a short-stay business visit, not a destination itself. The USP is location – ten minutes’ walk from Oxford Street’s bars and the Makola Market end – plus a rooftop that catches the evening breeze. It suits anyone who’s fine trading polish for convenience.
Chroniken von Accra
Accra grew from a Ga fishing village called Nkran, named for the ants in the area, into a Gold Coast trading post under Danish, Dutch and British forts. Independence in 1957 brought Kwame Nkrumah’s modernist vision, visible in buildings like the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and the National Museum. The city’s architecture is a jumble of colonial bungalows, 1960s concrete brutalists and the glass-walled office blocks of the new oil-and-tech economy. Today, Accra is the vibrant, sprawling hub of Ghana’s cultural scene – known for hiplife music, the Chale Wote street art festival and a food scene that blends jollof rice with Lebanese and Chinese kitchens. It’s a city where tro-tros honk through gridlocked roundabouts and the Atlantic surf pounds Jamestown’s old lighthouse.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Accra-Guide →Die besten Monate
November to March: driest season, with blue skies and lower humidity (27°C average). Harmattan dust in January can haze the view but keeps tourists away from the main sites.
Peak / Festival Surge
December is the peak – families return for Christmas, hotels fill up and room rates can double. August draws the Homowo festival (Ga harvest celebration, lively processions in Ga Mashie); July has the Accra International Jazz Festival. Book six months ahead or pay a premium.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and May are good budget windows – still hot (up to 32°C) but with short, sharp afternoon rains that cool things off. Fewer crowds, and you can negotiate a cash rate at smaller guesthouses.
Wetter & Verpackung
Accra sits near the Equator but has two rainy seasons, so a quick shift from sun to deluge is normal. Pack a small umbrella and a light rain jacket every day, regardless of forecast – and bring a wrap for air-conditioned restaurants that keep the thermostat at 18°C.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Accra
- New pedestrian walkways near Makola Market are mostly complete, but expect temporary diversions at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange until late 2026.
- The ‘Year of Return’ momentum continues: you’ll see more diaspora-led events and pop-up galleries in Osu and Labone this July, including a small jazz series at the Alliance Française.
- July’s short rainy season is in full swing – pack a dry bag for phone and wallet, and check the local weather app for evening downpour warnings that can flood low-lying streets.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Paradise Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor, facing the rear courtyard (away from the main road). These floors are high enough to avoid street rumble but low enough for quick stair access if the single lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or stairwell — foot traffic and lobby noise carry. Also skip rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor directly overlooking the front street; Accra's main roads get heavy traffic honking from early morning.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 4-6 offer a partial view of the Accra skyline and street activity, but are compromised by noise. Rear-facing rooms on any floor look onto neighbouring buildings — no real view, but quieter.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 through 6 are consistently quieter, benefiting from distance from street-level din and lift activity.
🔊 Noise notes
The main road outside La Paradise Inn is a busy thoroughfare in Accra, with taxis, tro-tros, and motorbikes from around 6am to late evening. The single lift is old and clatters; rooms near it on any floor hear a mechanical hum. Occasional power cuts mean a generator kicks on, audible on the top floor.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has a small car park, but spaces are tight — arrive before 4pm to secure one, or you'll be parked on the street (insecure at night). 2. Request a room with a mini-fridge if you're staying more than a night; the in-room AC can be weak, so a fridge keeps drinks cold from local shops.
- 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

Geld & Währung
Get a travel card →Ghanaian Cedi, GHS
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid currency exchange at the airport or tourist bureaux in Osu — they give poor rates.
Cards work in most hotels, supermarkets, and upscale restaurants in Accra, but street vendors and many taxis expect cash; mobile money (MTN MoMo) is widely accepted.
Not mandatory; restaurants add 10% service charge, otherwise round up. Taxis: round up fare. Hotel staff: GHS 10–20 for porters, small tips for housekeeping.
Essen, Einkaufen und Reisen auf einem Budget
Cheap car hire →A takeaway coffee from a local kiosk or street vendor costs about GHS 8–12; avoid airport cafés.
A bowl of waakye with fish, egg, and shito at a roadside stall costs around GHS 15–25.
A main course at a local chop bar — fufu and soup or grilled tilapia with banku — runs GHS 30–45.
Head to Opera Square or the streets around Makola Market for cheap grilled meat, kelewele, and fried yam.
Shoprite and Melcom are the main budget supermarket chains in Accra, with good prices on staples.
Makola Market is best for affordable second-hand clothing and fabrics; Osu’s Oxford Street has cheaper high-street boutiques.
Tro-tro (minibus) fares cost GHS 5–10 per trip; from the airport, take a shared taxi to the nearest tro-tro stop for about GHS 15.
Use MTN MoMo for small payments to avoid card fees. Eat at chop bars rather than tourist-oriented restaurants. Haggle at markets like Makola — prices are inflated for visitors.
Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Accra, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.

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.
