The Property — Taste Lodge
Taste Lodge is a straightforward three-star business hotel on the Hohoe–Ho road, a short walk from the main taxi rank. The lobby feels like an airy, tiled airport lounge: functional, clean, and calm, with a TV playing Ghanaian news and a quick-check-in desk. Its USP is reliable 24-hour electricity (solar-backed) and AC in every room, which matters in a town with frequent power cuts. It suits independent travellers and short-stay workers who need a no-fuss base for exploring Wli Waterfalls or the Agumatsa wildlife sanctuary.
Chronicles of Hohoe
Hohoe grew as a colonial-era administrative centre for the German Togoland territory, and the grid of streets around the central market still follows the German survey plan. After 1914, the town became a key transit hub for cocoa and timber heading south from the Volta Region’s highlands. Post-independence, it expanded slowly as a district capital, with its architecture a mix of faded colonial bungalows, concrete storefronts, and churches painted in loud pastels. Today, Hohoe is the gateway to the Togo-Atakora mountain range, and its identity is proudly Ewe, with the Monday market pulling farmers and traders from 30 km around.
Best Time to Visit
Full Hohoe guide →Best months
December and January have the driest weather and clear skies for hiking. February is good too, though slightly dustier.
Peak / festival surge
March and August are peak. March brings Harmattan haze but excellent festival activity (Hogbetsotso in nearby Anloga). August is the rainy-season lull—hot, humid, with flash storms—but hotel prices at Taste Lodge stay flat year-round at about 350–450 GHS per night, driven by steady domestic business traffic rather than tourism.
Budget shoulder season
May and June are the cheapest months: discount of 10–20% off standard rates, still mild mornings, but afternoon downpours are common. Crowds are near zero, and availability is wide open.
Weather & packing
Hohoe sits in a microclimate that gets afternoon thunder cells most of the year, even in dry months. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a small umbrella at all times, regardless of forecast.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Taste Lodge, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (assumed 2nd or 3rd floor based on 3-star typical build) facing the rear courtyard, away from the main road. Likely quieter and cooler.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms at the front of the building, as they face the street with Hohoe traffic noise and may have security or insect issues. Avoid rooms near the staircase if no lift exists.
Best views
Countryside views if the hotel is on the edge of town; otherwise, roof terrace views of the Volta Region hills are likely. Front rooms face street, rear rooms face gardens/fields.
Quietest floors
Top floor (2nd or 3rd floor) — furthest from street-level noise and foot traffic in the lobby.
🔊 Noise notes
Hohoe's main road (likely the hotel's address) carries taxis, tro-tros, and motorbikes from dawn until late evening. Church services on Sundays may cause early morning noise. Music from nearby bars or the hotel's own evening events is possible.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a fan in addition to A/C — power cuts are common, and fans work without electricity. 2) Check if the hotel has a generator for overnight use, and request a guarantee of 24-hour electricity if you need devices charged.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
