RESIDENCE PALAIS DU STADE, hotel in Cotonou

RESIDENCE PALAIS DU STADE has a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Cotonou. The accommodation features room service, a 24-hour front desk and organising tours for guests.

Latif and the driver rescued us after we got lost in Cotonou residential area because I had followed the googlemap pin location instead of what was provided by booking.com within the app (both are on google but since I was using offline maps the wrong one showed up first). The staff were always available and were so helpful in ordering meals and with transport logistics especially given that we had language barrier challenges (we don't speak French!) Room was clean, a bit small but adequate. I recommend the place for short stay and strongly advise you follow the pin given by the residence.

    Good location, staff was very friendly. They sended taxis to pick us up at the airport, this was well organized and even though our flight was late, they waited for us. We had to pay the taxis ourselves though. Be sure to ask for an invoice in advance! In the guesthouse, we received a written paper and an invoice after our trip via mail if you ask. The guesthouse was very clean, the food was good. We arrived with a group of 10 persons, they prepared us a meal late in the evening and breakfast in the morning.
