One of the best hotel choices in Accra, Ghana!

This hotel definitely ought to be the first choice for every serious traveller who are looking for a highly prize-worthy option to the posh ones, like Kempinski or Lancaster hotels. --- The staff at Lou Ralph Hotel is composed of the most lovely people, and their service level is top-notch. They are very attentive, professional, and commit with heart and soul to their tasks. You certainly will feel safe, and taken care of. --- The surroundings are perfect for me loving daily walks, and you can even allow yourself to visit one of the local bars in the more central streets for a cold beer or soft drink. --- The hotel offers a very good and nutricious breakfast, served either at the pool or in their restaurant. Later during the day, a snack or a full lunch or dinner meal are easily catered for, as well as a nice bar service --- Gym and pool make up for lost time back home, and you can feel well exercised when going to bed. --- In summary: do not hesitate to test this resourceful gem - you will not be disappointed, mark my words!

Hotel is not close to any of the locations mentioned. Very deceiving. Booked hotel over a month and on arrival they had no record of my reservation. Hotel was very difficult to find and not in a good side of town. No where close to the American Embassy and other locations mentioned. Poor lighting on the grounds and roads leading to hotel are in very bad shape, and traffic in the area

We had originally booked 14 nights at Lou Ralf Hotel, but it became clear on the very first day that we didn’t want to stay there. The rooms were in extremely poor condition: furniture was damaged, drawers and closets couldn’t be opened properly due to missing handles, and many fixtures were worn out and dirty. Particularly concerning was the air conditioning – it was leaking, heavily soiled on the inside, and appeared so unhygienic that we had serious health concerns. The bed linen was dirty, and one of the sheets even had visible footprints on it. After three nights – and only after we managed to find alternative accommodation in the middle of Africa – we were finally able to check out. This hotel, in its current state, is absolutely not recommended. A clear warning to all travelers to Africa: Do not book Lou Ralf Hotel – it does not meet even basic expectations for a clean, functional, and well-maintained place to stay.

Pay at front desk not online please.

This is absolute mayhem trying to check in, booked through Hotels.com and arrived for check in only for me to be told that I can't pay online even though I did and showed my receipt of payment. Their Internet was down so they couldn't see anything and had to call the owner to check which wasn't helpful either. In the end it took about 40 minutes before the receptionist came back and apologies profoundly about the mix up and gave me a room but by then the damage was already done. My advice would be that you should make the reservation but don't pay online if you don't want to go through my experience. The guy at reception was quite helpful in the end but a paying customer should not go through what i did.
