La proprietà — Evandy Hostel
Evandy Hostel is a modest but clean three-star base in a residential area of Accra. The lobby feels more like a friendly guesthouse than a chain hotel: worn but polished furniture, a small reception desk with a smiling clerk, and a constant hum of budget travellers swapping tips. Its USP is reliability and value — decent air conditioning, hot water, and a simple breakfast of bread and omelette. Best for backpackers or solo travellers who want a safe, no-frills launchpad for exploring the city.
Cronache di Accra
Accra grew from a 15th-century Ga fishing village into a colonial trading post for the British, Dutch, and Danes, who built forts like Osu Castle (formerly Christiansborg) along its coast. Its architecture blends colonial-era colonial buildings, Independence-era high-rises, and sprawling markets like Makola. After independence in 1957 under Kwame Nkrumah, Accra became a symbol of Pan-African ambition, with monuments like Black Star Square. Today it’s a dynamic coastal capital known for its pulsating nightlife, kente cloth street stalls, and a booming contemporary art scene centred on Chale Wote street festival.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Accra →I migliori mesi
August and December: August has the least rain and cooler Harmattan winds; December is dry, sunny, and alive with Christmas festivities, but crowds are manageable outside the major beach resorts.
Peak / Festival Surge
December is peak for tourism and the Christmas season (including the Homowo festival in August). Hotel prices can jump 20–30% in December and January. The biggest drivers are festive events like the annual Chale Wote Street Art Festival (August) and the December detty season, when diaspora Ghanaians return.
Stagione di spalla
May and September are excellent budget months: May sees early rains but few tourists, so hotels drop rates by 15–25%. September has just enough rain to keep crowds low, but humidity drops.
Meteo e imballaggio
Accra sits in a tropical savanna climate with a long wet season from April to July and a shorter one in October. Pack a light rain jacket and waterproof shoes — even in July, you’ll face daily downpours that clear fast.
Briefing della città — Accra
- The ongoing expansion of the Accra-Tema Motorway is causing regular traffic delays, especially during peak hours near the hostel’s Osu neighbourhood; allow an extra 30 minutes for any taxi ride.
- The new Accra Light Rail project is in early construction, but for now, the Trotro minibus system remains the most reliable (and cheap) way to get to Makola Market or Labadi Beach.
- July 2026 coincides with the tail end of the rainy season, so expect afternoon thunderstorms most days — many bars and restaurants have outdoor seating under cover, but plan indoor backup activities.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Evandy Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor, near the back of the building away from the street, to minimise road noise from Accra’s busy traffic. These rooms are more accessible and quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the main road, especially on the ground floor, where street noise from honking and engines is constant, and security is less solid.
Best views
Limited views; rear-facing rooms look onto neighbouring buildings or a courtyard, which is quieter and more private than the street side.
Quietest floors
First floor, rear-facing rooms offer the best quiet; upper floors (if any) may be louder due to rooftop activities or lack of insulation.
🔊 Noise notes
Main road traffic noise is the primary issue; street food sellers and taxi horns add early-morning and evening sound. No lift means stairwell noise travels, especially on ground floor.
Insider tips
Check in before dark to secure a rear-facing room; the hostel doesn’t have a 24-hour desk, so arrivals after 9pm may face delays. If you have heavy luggage, request a ground-floor room at booking—stairs are steep and narrow.
- 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

Principali attrazioni a 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.
