Reviews of Tamarin Hôtel Cotonou

Break fast was good, but needs enhancement with more varieties, especially fresh fruits and more tea and juice varieties.

The food. More varieties are needed to cater for diversity of cultures.

Style people very nice

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly charming, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. We did have a small issue with the bathroom, but it was handled quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was delicious, with a good variety of options, and the setting of the hotel is beautiful and relaxing. We would definitely come back — thank you for the great hospitality!

This is a really great boutique hotel. In particular, the interior design and furnishing is great (slightly bohemian but not exactly). Rooms are quite spacious and there were no issues with noise. I do not think I have ever commented on a hotel room's shower but the shower was amazing. I met the owner during check in and he was very nice and made sure that I am comfortable with my stay

The hotel's restaurant closes on Sunday but you can easily order food to be delivered (or ask the staff to do it for you) and if you are concerned about the quality of the food, the owner has some great suggestions

very private secluded close to the center of town walking distance

Small and cost hotel well located close to main government and international orgs buildings. Staff very kind, very comfy bed and a pleasant pool. Breakfast complete with local Tastes.

All was nice.

nice and clean hotel, cozy and spacious rooms, mosquito net on every window. separate bathroom with sophisticated shower, very good mattress, very friendly staff at front desk, tasty breakfast

I booked the hotel due to the close administrations I needed to visit. No photos on booking.com on the environment. Location close to the port, close and shabby neighbouring houses, no real nice view out of the windows, power cuts every day, no siphon under bathroom sink, thus, stinking quickly if you don´t close the sink and fill it with water. Toilette water tank didn´t close correctly, thus very often running water in the toilette. restaurant staff very slowly and not flexible. More than 20min to prepare and deliver small breakfast although I already ordered before taking my shower. After returning (15min) it regularly took another 10-15min. Breakfast is good bot no variations possible (always yoghurt, fruit salad, omelette, small bread with 2 slices of cheese, juice, coffee). You may order tomatoes, onions, etc. but you won`t get it. Restaurant and hotel very expensive for the region and in relation to the offer.

The women

Nothing

The staff is exceptional

Cleanliness Comfortable bed Good wash room, shower

Shuttle service was delayed No people at reception when we arrived at 5am Keys were locked in a drawer by last receptionist so they had to break open drawer No lift No safe in room No telephone in room Breakfast was not buffet, a bit complicated, plate with specific food, had to argue with waitress for 2 glasses of juice instead of 1 glass Receptionist argued with me that I did not settle total invoice; it turned out to be I WAS RIGHT

Staff is definitely the highlight of the place . Always smiling and ready to help . Your personnel is really rare i hope you take great care of them .

Price of the rooms equals to at least a 4 stars hotel back in france but the amenities were not up to par at all : the lavatories were shaky , the flush wasn't working well all the time . I made a reservation breakfast included to be informed later on that it's only one breakfast per roll which doesn't makes sense. First time ever did i do an hotel reservation with this policy . It is not even about the money but about respect of the customer . I will not come back again because for this price i am pretty sure i can get way better options . I think people coming back are only doing so thanks to the staff .

Very gentle and helpful staff, huge rooms, very clean, with a lovely terrace where to have breakfast

Quite area, spacious rooms, great swimming pool and beautiful decoration !

Nothing

As a recently open hotel there is more work that needs to be done. The staff need to clean the room daily and if services such as the shuttle attract a fee it should be stated. I must admit management made up for any slips ups during the stay. The restaurant should be open after 3pm on Mondays, I do not understand why it was closed.

Rooms wasn't cleaned daily Unsure whether using the shuttle for short trips was attached to a fee Restaurant at facility closes on Monday at 3pm (unclear where guests should eat)

I don't even know where to start. The owner was an amazing host - we got to meet him upon arrival. I loved the room and how spacious it was. It was great for my family and two young kids. The breakfasts and lunches were delicious as well. I also loved how carefully curated the art was. Everything was beautiful and I will stay there each time. We honestly never wanted to leave the little oasis in Cotonou.
