The Property — Dy Will Be Done
Dy Will Be Done is a calm, modern 4-star in the Asafo district, with a cool grey-and-wood lobby open to a courtyard pool. It’s the kind of place that gets the basics right: clean rooms, reliably fast Wi-Fi, and a breakfast buffet with fresh mango and waakye. Suits business travellers and couples who want a quiet base without resort frills.
Chronicles of Kumasi
Kumasi was founded in the 1680s by the Asantehene Osei Tutu I near Lake Bosomtwe, and grew as the capital of the Asante Empire. The British burned it in 1874 and again in 1900, but the central Kejetia Market and the Manhyia Palace remain proof of Asante resilience. The modern city is a sprawl of concrete and red-dirt streets, dominated by tro-tro traffic and textile shops selling kente. Its contemporary identity mixes deep traditional authority — the Golden Stool is still revered — with a fast-growing informal economy and a young, music-loving population.
Best Time to Visit
Full Kumasi guide →Best months
August and January: dry, sunny days (28-32°C), low humidity, and fewer tourists than December. The Akwasidae festival often falls in August, adding cultural texture without overwhelming the city.
Peak / festival surge
December is the busiest month, driven by Christmas holidays, diaspora return visits, and the national Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at the Anglican Cathedral. Hotel prices at Dy Will Be Done typically jump 40-60% above shoulder rates, and rooms book out by mid-November.
Budget shoulder season
July is the best budget shoulder month: the long rainy season is ending, room rates are 20-30% lower than peak, and the city is green and uncrowded. September is similar — the rains taper, and you get discounts before the October dry season starts.
Weather & packing
Kumasi sits at 300m elevation, so nights can drop to 20°C even after a 32°C day — bring a light fleece or cardigan. Pack a compact umbrella for sudden downpours any month; the city averages 1400mm of rain a year.
Live City Briefing — Kumasi
- Kejetia Market's second phase opened in late 2025: the new stalls are cleaner but some traders are still relocating, so expect temporary lane closures around the market's southern edge.
- The Kumasi Lake Road expansion project is ongoing through mid-2026; expect delays on the ring road between Asafo and Adum, especially during morning tro-tro peaks.
- A new direct tro-tro route now runs from Kumasi's lorry station to the Manhyia Palace Museum every 20 minutes, making the one-hour visit easier for independent travellers.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Dy Will Be Done, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building, away from the street. These floors offer a good compromise between quiet and accessibility, and the rear side minimises street noise from Kumasi’s busy roads.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or service areas, as they pick up foot traffic, luggage noise, and kitchen sounds. Also skip rooms facing the front on lower floors (1st and 2nd), which suffer directly from street noise.
Best views
The rear of the hotel likely overlooks the neighbourhood’s compound houses or a courtyard—modest but calm. No grand vista from a city-centre 4-star, but the quiet side is the best bet.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 4 are the quietest, as they are above street-level hubbub but below any rooftop machinery or bar areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Kumasi’s streets are lively—think tro-tros, hawkers, and occasional church sound systems. The front facade bears the brunt. Also, check if the hotel has a ground-floor bar; that adds late-night chatter.
Insider tips
1. Request a room with a window that opens; air conditioning can be noisy, and Kumasi’s harmattan evenings are cool enough for natural ventilation. 2. If you’re driving, ask front desk if they have reserved parking—street parking is chaotic. Check-in early to secure a rear-facing room; they’re the first to go.
- 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
