Roots Hotel Apartment

This tower of self-catering apartments provides a fantastic and convenient base in central Accra, just a block from Oxford Street. The standard apartments are good, although it’s definitely worth upgrading to a superior room if possible as the difference is quite pronounced. All are air-conditioned, with well-equipped kitchenettes including fridges, cookers, microwaves and utensils. The suites, unsurprisingly, have more space and light than the rooms. Some of the suites are in fact duplexes, with two double rooms and a separate seating area – perfect for families. There’s a cosy seventh floor restaurant with fantastic city views. A café by the entrance downstairs is also a handy, if somewhat pricey, source of drinks and snacks. Those looking to stay for a while can negotiate a monthly rate. Its prices make it one of the only mid-priced options in Accra full stop.
