Would lodge here again. Staff was attentive, friendly and very helpful. Communications were prompt and effective. Asked for late check-out and it was done without any hastle. Free Shuttle too/from airport with clear directives were a plus. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Special thanks to the breakfast crew, guards, and reception staff. Djabi cafe next door was consistently good and the ladies were extra friendly and serviced customers with personal care. Mr Gerard was on top with all aspects of customer service from airport arrival through departure. Hotel is Conveniently located. Thank you

Absolutely excellent. Great staff everywhere. The local employees from Cotonou were the very best in courtesy, willingness to assist and offer information. Only one white woman who apparently is “boss” was rude by speaking rudely to an employee that was helping me when she interrupted us and gave him her keys and ordered him to go bring things from a car… employee was very professional and finished his assistance to me before moving on. Staff went above and beyond making me and my son have the best experience ever. Food was amazing. Restaurant staff were amazing. Pool and all surrounding were in great condition. Security was professional and welcoming. My new favorite hotel. And I used to go to the Sheraton that became the Sofitel… the GOLDEN TULIP LE DIPLOMATE exceeded all my expectations. My son and I will go there again on our next trip.

Its walking distance to the Dahomey statue and Heritage Wall. The U.S. embassy is directly across the street and other ministry offices. My only dislike about the franchise of the hotel is their very firm beds.
