“Cheap place to stay. No A/C. but a high mountain climb into/out of hotel on a high hill.”
+The room was cheap.
−First of all, The entrance to the hotel was a dark ally, (literally NO lights) 3 feet wide. You had to climb up a steep hill. There were no rails to hold on. Then I had to climb up to the second floor to my room. The room had no A/C. I had to shower from a bucket of water. The toilet was flushed from the same bucket of water (toilet didn't work). One dim light in bathroom. One dim white light and one dim red light in the bedroom (against the wall not on the ceiling). Advertisement stated ocean view. NO. I could see the ocean from the second floor probably 2 to 3 miles away over some houses. That view was not even from my room. The view from my room was to a wooded field and the roof of some residential housing.

“Good value for money. Could be shined up a bit and would be super cool!”
+Location was good- walking distance to market, fishing harbor and Elmina center. Terrace was nice. Simple furniture. Great view and spacious. Super helpful staff, friendly and relaxed.
−There was no water in pipes but there was a big bucket of clean water and bucket for shower. Power went out at night but that happened everywhere. One room we stayed in smelled bad. Maybe a deep clean would help.

“Disappointing”
+Cheap price, good location
−Many accessories listed on the page were incorrect. For example no running water, no sofabed in the double room, no free breakfast. For the price it is still acceptable but their information on the website has to be updated

“This place should close down their business”
+Sängen var helt ok
−If you consider staying at IS Guest House, just don’t! This is a really crappy place. The smell of urine was distinctive in the bath room. Water was always turned off and you have to go to reception to turn it on and if you don’t go quickly you will stand with soap in your face running around with a towel looking for someone to turn on the water again. I asked for breakfast to specific time which was no problem the morning after they had not even started with it. One hour later waiting the pancakes are done. Next day same story, I went down for the water thing and at the same time asked if breakfast will be ready. Yes he said. Half hour later. No breakfast no chef. He calls the guy who clearly just woke up, and the reception says that he is in the car. It will be ready soon. I just checked out. The said they have WiFi, they don’t. The sheets are probably clean but the blanket is the type they probably are not washing. It probably just goes to the floor and up again.

“Nothing to say”
+We tried several time to have the host for direction and they did not pick up. We were obliged to find another place.

“Lovely host, lovely breakfast, basic room”
+Very friendly hosts who helped us when we couldn't find the place and made us a delicious vegan breakfast of Ghana pancakes and bananas with fresh juice.
−The lighting in the room is very neon and difficult to have on in the evening. Overall room is very basic indeed with dated beds and no decor, and the bathroom is set up so you have to arrange in advance if you want to use the shower, otherwise you use a bucket. We were fine to use the bucket for one night but any longer we would have asked to set up the shower.
