The Property — Royal Sky Hotel
The Royal Sky Hotel in Ho is a modest 3-star business hotel with a clean, functional lobby of polished tiles, a small reception desk, and a seating area with a TV showing local news. It feels no-nonsense and professional, aimed at government visitors and contractors on short stays. The real draw is the rooftop terrace with views over the green Volta Region hills — a decent spot for a beer at sunset, though the on-site restaurant is basic. It suits travellers who need a reliable, central base rather than charm.
Chronicles of Ho
Ho, capital of the Volta Region, grew from a colonial administrative post under the Germans in the late 19th century, then became part of British Togoland after WWI. Its architecture is a mix of low-rise concrete blocks, colonial-era bungalows, and newer glass-fronted banks. The city is the cultural heart of the Ewe people, celebrated in the annual Hogbetsotso festival each November. Today, Ho is a quiet, green regional hub — a gateway to Mount Afadjato and Wli Waterfalls, with a growing university presence and a lively central market.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ho guide →Best months
November to February: after the big rains, the hills are lush, skies are clear, and temperatures are cooler (24–30°C). December is lively with pre-Christmas market buzz but still manageable.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: the wettest months with heavy afternoon downpours; also school holidays bring domestic tourists to the Volta Region. Hotel prices at properties like Royal Sky stay flat (3-star rates are stable year-round) but occupancy rises. The main event is the August bank holiday weekend.
Budget shoulder season
March–May and October: lighter crowds, slightly lower rates (maybe 10% off rack), and the landscape is still green after rains. October is especially good — the rains are tapering off and the harmattan haze hasn't started.
Weather & packing
Ho has two rainy seasons (April–July and September–October) and a dry harmattan season (December–February) with dusty air from the Sahara. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella for sudden downpours, and a long-sleeved shirt for mosquito protection in the evenings.
Live City Briefing — Ho
- The Ho–Aflao road is undergoing major resurfacing until October 2026; expect delays of 20–40 minutes on the route to the border — allow extra travel time.
- A new multi-purpose sports complex near the Ho Stadium opened in early 2026, hosting the regional league matches every Saturday afternoon, which brings extra foot traffic and some road closures.
- The Volta Region's mango season peaks in June–July, so the central market will be packed with fresh fruit — good for a visit, but watch for pickpockets in crowded stalls.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Royal Sky Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

Best views
If available, a room on floor 3 facing the rear of the property (away from the market) overlooks the town and hills; front rooms just see the market canopy.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are quietest; the lift is standard size but less used on weekends.
🔊 Noise notes

Top Attractions in Ho
💡 Go on a Wednesday or Saturday when more vendors arrive. Haggle politely for cloth, but prices on food are fixed. Watch for pickpockets near the main entrance.
💡 Go early morning around 7am to see the light through the windows without crowds. Watch your step on the uneven tiles inside.
💡 It's busiest around 4pm when school finishes. Come with a mat and buy kelewele (spiced fried plantain) from the vendors at the gate – 2 GHS a bag.
💡 Bring bananas or groundnuts to feed them – buy at the entrance rather than pre-packed. Guides expect a small tip (around 5 GHS). Avoid wearing bright colours; the monkeys get nervous.
💡 Bring water shoes – the rocks are slippery. The trail to the lower falls is easy, but hire a guide (30 GHS) for the upper. Visit on a weekday to avoid crowds.
