La proprietà — Mount Pleasant Inns & Apartment
Mount Pleasant Inns & Apartment sits on a hillside in Aburi, with a chilled, low-key vibe that suits travellers wanting clean, no-fuss accommodation rather than luxury. The lobby feels like a modest guesthouse — tiled floors, a few armchairs, decent Wi-Fi, and staff who are friendly without hovering. Its main draw is the quiet location, views of the surrounding greenery, and easy access to the Aburi Botanical Gardens, five minutes by car. This place works best for solo travellers or couples on a budget who plan to be out exploring and just need a solid base to sleep and shower.
Cronache di Aburi
Aburi began as a hill station developed by British colonial administrators in the late 19th century, who favoured its cooler climate and built it as a retreat from coastal heat. The Aburi Botanical Gardens, established in 1890, were originally an experimental agricultural station for cocoa and rubber cultivation. The town's architecture retains colonial-era bungalows with red tile roofs and wide verandas, scattered among modern concrete houses. Today, Aburi balances its role as a weekend getaway for Accra residents with a growing local arts and craft scene, notably the wood carving market near the gardens. Culturally, it remains a key site for the Akuapem people, and the annual Odwira festival in September draws visitors to the area.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Aburi →I migliori mesi
July to August and January: July offers mild temperatures (20-26°C) and dry weather for comfortable garden walks, with fewer tourists than December. August sees a noticeable dip in humidity, and January is cool and dry, ideal for hiking in the surrounding hills.
Peak / Festival Surge
December is the busiest month, driven by Christmas and New Year holidays when Ghanaians and diaspora return home. Hotel prices at Mount Pleasant can double, and booking needs to happen by October. The Odwira festival in September also spikes demand locally, but less than the Christmas rush.
Stagione di spalla
March to April and October are solid budget shoulder months: rain is light, humidity moderate, and prices drop by about 30% from peak. Crowds are thin, and the gardens are lush from early rains.
Meteo e imballaggio
Aburi sits at 450m altitude, so evenings are noticeably cooler than Accra, sometimes dropping to 18°C. Pack a light jacket or fleece for evenings and a rain shell for sudden afternoon showers, even in dry-season months.
Briefing della città — Aburi
- The Aburi-Accra road, a key route for visitors, has ongoing repairs near the Peduase junction, causing 20-30 minute delays on Saturdays and Sundays; plan to leave early to avoid frustration.
- The Aburi Botanical Gardens recently opened a new coffee shop and improved signage on the nature trails, making it easier to explore independently without a guide.
- Mobile money networks (MTN, Vodafone) often have slower connectivity in Aburi due to hills; carry some cash for market purchases, as card machines are unreliable.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mount Pleasant Inns & Apartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (above ground level) at the back of the building, away from the road. First-floor rooms typically have less street noise than ground-floor ones and better air circulation in Aburi's humid climate.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street. Given the address on Aburi's main road, these will catch traffic noise and any foot traffic from the market area. Ground-floor rooms also tend to have less privacy and more dust.
Best views
A first-floor room at the rear may overlook the hotel's garden or neighbouring greenery, which in Aburi is often lush. Avoid street-facing rooms for views of busy roadside shops.
Quietest floors
First floor (above ground) is the quietest floor range for this hotel. There's no lift mentioned, so you'll avoid elevator noise entirely. Second-floor rooms might have a bit more noise from the roof or neighbour's footsteps, but still generally quiet.
🔊 Noise notes
Aburi is a market town on a main road. Expect honking, motorbikes, and loudspeakers from nearby traders from about 6am to 8pm. The Bar area (if present) may generate evening chatter on ground floor.
Insider tips
1. Park in the rear compound if available — the road side is tight and prone to potholes. 2. Bring earplugs: even the 'quietest' room in a 3-star town-centre hotel will have some road noise, especially on weekends when the nearby church has amplified services.
- 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
