Location: Bakau, Atlantic Rd., close to the coastal fish market Rooms: Double En-suite ✔ Fan ✔ Bar & Restaurant ✔ Review: The Romana Afram is not an ideal tourist hotel as it is on a busy main road, near the fish landing jetty and the Bakau general market. As a result there are car fumes, fishy smells and other undesirable odours emanating from the immediate environment. However, if you can withstand these smells and the hustle and bustle of being next to a real African urban environment, and just want a reasonably priced place to stay then this small hotel could be just right for you. The nearby beach is narrow, rocky and is a working beach of fishermen landing their catches and various utility buildings such as cold stores. There are plenty of taxis passing by regularly and many nearby amenities such as a mini-market, shops, bars, restaurants, banks and bureau de change. Each bedroom has a small front patio, double bed, en-suite bathroom, flushing toilet and ceiling fan. Each room is cleaned daily and there is a laundry service and a nice bar and diner serving European, African and Chinese dishes. |
