Hotel Aurore Lome

The room was comfortable, with a mosquito net and good air conditioning. WiFi didn't reach my room, but it worked well in the shared area, enough to catch up with family, post on social media, and FaceTime. It's a great option for a budget traveler, about as close as you'll get to backpacking in Togo. The price is fair, and you get a spa, places to sit and meet other travelers, plus food and drinks at good prices. The staff were friendly and spoke with me in English even though my French is limited. The location's great, just two streets back from the beach, with plenty of moto taxis around if you need one.

The rooms aren't very tasteful and could use more ventilation, along with some attention to the walls and bedding. There's no swimming pool, but the bush bar makes up for that. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, though there's no visible parking area or wheelchair-accessible parking. It's a low-budget, family-style Afrocentric hotel with a very warm welcome on arrival. The service and hospitality were top notch, and the restaurant serves a very good mix of local and continental dishes. It's off the road but not far from it, and the road there is quite motorable.

We were passing through Lome, Togo, and this was the only hotel we could find within our budget. It has a serene feel, but the rooms aren't standard.

The rooms are average but okay, and the staff were helpful. The grounds are lovely, with good food served at the restaurant, bar, and terrace. It's good value for the whole experience, and the location on Lomé plage is handy, near a boulangerie and restaurants.
