Reviews of Hôtel Amédzépé 2 stars

Excellent in every way

Friendly staff, good value, nice little pool. You can take crêpes and a fruit plate for breakfast which is great. There are also good dinner options.

There is no separate bathroom so there is a lack of privacy if you are traveling as a couple.

Best accommodation in town! Friendly staff, ice cold pool, charming rooms and garden.

The food was good. Manager was attentive to our needs.

Excellent staff, environment and breakfast

Nice food, just quality of meat in both meals was not great (quite tough)

We really liked decoration of the hotel, and interiors. And room design, it was compact but it’s enough for 2 persons. Also we liked tiny garden behind the room.

Hot water was very limited, but it was ok for our stay.

The staff is very friendly and hekpful. The private garden was amazing with hammock. Delicious food

The pool was a great feature, the staff were incredibly friendly and there was lots of choice for food all of which was delicious.

Good location, the "rooms" are actually small separate bungalows, strong ceiling fan, hot (!) showers, wifi ok, mosquito nets available > get one!

"Private kitchen in the room" was the biggest reason why I booked the place but it didn't exist, not even a kettle/fridge! What a scam! No single beds either > big double bed takes all the space. Stains on bed sheets. In "Jeanne" bungalow the wall holes make a chimney for the neighbour kitchen where the cooking starts 05am > fills up the bungalow with heavy smoke = not possible to rest + causing sore throat, itchy eyes, headache. The staff didn't react much, had a look around and agreed with me. No discount (I did suggest), only I was asked to leave a handwritten feedback on a piece of paper instead of this! Left the place sick and tired.

Very friendly staff who are happy to help organise a driver for the day. Rooms have a private garden where you can relax in your hammock. The pool is small but very refreshing!

After a bad experience clearing Togo customs, we arrived late only after stopping the car 100 meters short of the property because of impassable roads on the Google map route. Further compounding a bad night, there was a power outage and the hotel had no backup generator.

After this bad start, matters improved dramatically the next morning. Power was restored. It was a nice room (with a fan but no ac) with several nice outdoor spaces. The breakfast was satisfactory although nothing special and really should have been included in the room rate.

The desing of the hotel is just amazing. Beautiful decorated, clean, functional and cozy place with all the necessary facilities and super friendly personnel. You could feel the positive vibes. The pool and the small private garden/terasse with table and hommock were our highlights.

Some of the staff were super friendly (Maxim, for example.) When I couldn't withdraw cash from the ATM, staff escorted me to various banks, spoke to bank staff, and otherwise went above expectations. The owner was also very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the food and the convenience of ordering 7am to 10pm. The grounds were well kept. I found the hotel peaceful and quiet.

Some of the staff were a little cold and distant. There's no AC and the power goes out in Kpalime sometimes, so prepare yourself for such sleeping arrangements. The lodge is off a rough mud road, so prepare for brief bumpiness before arrival.

The property was amazing. Very well maintained, and the food was great. All the employees were super helpful and accommodating. Victor is fantastic and I highly recommend the eco tour.

Lovely and helpful staff. Extremely charming hotel with an instant holiday atmosphere. Also a great location to explore Kpalime and its surroundings.

Nothing we could say here

It’s very quaint and appealing. The chalets are set between the trees and the hotel has a terrace with a Mountain View and other lovely seating areas. There is a lot of bird life to hear and see. The decor and rooms are cute too. The staff is friendly and breakfast, especially the coffee, is good. The fans in the rooms are a godsend. It’s simple, with no frills, but clean and comfortable, which is all that matters. It’s popular so book it if there’s availability. It seems Amédzépé is the best Kpalimé can offer. I stayed at a modern hotel in Lomé which was far more expensive and pretty much the same quality.

1) It was quite hard to find using GPS. There are some well placed signs on the roads, but best ask for directions. The dirt roads are especially challenging for sedans and small cars, so take a 4x4. A big car will also serve you well for travelling to the waterfalls and other activities. 2) Small issue; the hot water heater is small so you’ll have to take quick showers! 3) The mattresses are firm (not an issue for me). It’s also not possible to have the bed/mattress separated in the rooms, only an additional twin mattress placed on the floor (for a charge).

All meals were very good. Attentive and helpful staff. Clean and well kept hotel.

There was not a big selection on the menu that was available when I ordered. I ended up having the same meal twice.

Hôtel Amédzépé is located near central Kpalime about a kilometer from the street where you'll find public transport to Lome and other areas of Togo. The hotel consists of several well-built huts that have ceiling fans (no A/C), a comfortable bed and a small outdoor seating area. There is a restaurant in the hotel and a swimming pool. My guess is that this hotel is as good as it gets in this price range in Kpalime.

The restaurant is decent, but the wait times for food are ridiculous. I waited an hour and a half for spaghetti with meat sauce. I didn't even know that it was possible to take that long to prepare such a simple meal.
