Accra a Ripoff?
wrote:
What's the real story on cost of lodging in Accra? Rest of Ghana? I see alot of very high prices for rooms for a 3rd world country on the web. Yet the Lonely Planet says they're cheap,$10-20. Hoteliers are complaining to the government that they're prices are too high due to Gov. taxes; fees. Is it difficult to find cheap rooms in Accra or rest of Country. Bad enough the airfare there is around a grand, to wind up paying $50 a night or more for a room. Cheap rooms are easy to find, and Lonely Planet's prices are pretty close to reality. But if you try to book from overseas - especially on the web! - you're going to get screwed. Cheap places don't have the wherewithal to deal with hotel brokers; only the ripoff joints and fancy upscale hotels can make that worthwhile. Just deal with it when you get there. miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |
