I usually don't write so much for review, but this location is deserving of the time, because I enjoyed my stay. La Villa Saint Jean is an awesome location, best fit for everything I needed to make my trip memorable, central to all the best attractions, walking distance to dantokpa market, less than 1km to the Cotonou red star square statue, approximately 15 minutes to the airport 10minutes to the beach and shopping mall, 10 minutes to the Amazon statue through the longest graffiti mural in Africa. I can rate them above average on location and hospitality. However, if you're a non french speaker, you'll find it difficult navigating the area. For best experience, map out all your proposed tour sites, plan the itinerary and give a guide. As a plus for leisure, there's an open balcony at both levels, ideal for game night with friends/family ( unfortunately they have only 5rooms) I have to leave something out to raise your curiosity, else I'll continue, but a visit will convince you. Great value for money. @Funlorde1

Beautifully designed in local craft and materials. Staff were kind, brought positive energy to our stay and always on hand to help at any time of day. The breakfast was delicious and of good quality, better than what you would get in a large chain. Excellent location with plenty of local amenities within walking distance, the restaurant next door served very good local dishes. Just a short drive from the airport and from key tourist landmarks

    Outstanding welcome. Highly recommend Akwa Guest House to anyone looking for a home when visiting Benin. The hosts are excellent and the children delicious in every possible way.

    L'Addresse Hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood in Cotonou next door to the Brazilian Embassy. The hotel has comfortable rooms, good WiFi, a restaurant and a swimming pool. It's a little far from the more lively parts of the city, but mototaxis are cheap and always on call near the hotel. I enjoyed my stay at L'Address and would return.
