Hotels near Porte Du Non Retour (Gate of No Return), Ouidah

Our stay at MGA Residence in Ouidah had its positives but also a few challenges. The rooms were spacious and very clean, though slightly dark due to limited natural light from smaller windows. Set within a mall complex, the property has a cozy feel, though the surrounding structure gives the plot a more enclosed atmosphere. Dining at MGA Residence is a notable experience, as the hotel has been praised for its food. The bar and restaurant are the only outdoor seating areas available, offering a relaxing atmosphere, although we did encounter some differences in the menu expectations. For example, the "grilled fillet" arrived as meat sliced on skewers and cooked differently than anticipated. The fish, however, was fresh and well-prepared, a nice highlight for seafood lovers. The breakfast setup is worth mentioning, as it’s included for only one person per room. The basic breakfast offering consists of small pieces of bread, jam, tea, and instant coffee—simple but sufficient. A key inconvenience we encountered was that the hotel did not accept credit card payments, as the machine was reportedly out for repairs. Fortunately, they accepted cash in U.S. dollars. Finally, the staff was friendly and accommodating, eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Overall, I would recommend MGA Residence as a comfortable option in Ouidah.

Great staff. Great location. Very clean and comfortable.

This was the best value accommodation we've had in west Africa. Layo is an excellent host. He gave us lots of information. It was a short walk to the Basilica, the python temple and some art galleries. The area is quiet. The room was nicely decorated and very comfortable.
