Hotel Petit Brussel

One of the best places in Lome in my book. Calm, clean, excellent service and not too far from the city. A hotel i recommend. If you need a place to relax with family, this is it and the cuisine is very nice too as they have a healthy breakfast. The view is also soothing as we have a splendid capture of the sea.

Rundown, virtually empty, 40 mins from Lome, the only redeeming quality of this awful hotel is the view from the rooms which overlook the sea. If you don’t speak French then don’t even go near this place as you will be treated with even more disgust. The place is falling apart outside, the chairs dirty and broken, the beach full of rubbish with a dangerous undertow and no swimming. The food is on par with New York city prices in a place like Togo, and the selection is very limited. There is a supermarket 6 mins walk from the hotel, and a pizza place 2 mins walk so save paying their inflated prices. Breakfast selection is very limited and the food area was swarming with ants and bugs all over the wall. The rooms are spacious but with no soundproofing; the beds are quite comfortable but you are only allowed one key card per room which also controls the relatively weak air conditioning. You have to beg for towels (and replacement toilet paper)- we were given 2 bath towels and one hand towel for our stay and told they would not be changed as they were not dirty. You get one teabag in the room! On a Saturday we had the balcony above our room fixed, hammered and re plastered for 5 hours; we had an air conditioning unit opposite our room replaced; and the entire hotel had to listen to the noise of 2 chaps smashing down one area by reception with hammers. No amount of complaining to various members of staff and management did any good – they just snigger at you and say “we are doing our best”. They just don’t care – in travelling to over 100 countries we have never met more rude, surly and useless staff. Only 2 staff members that tried to help are David and Anna, the rest are a total disgrace to any place trying to call itself a hotel. Do yourself a favour and avoid this place like Covid.

We were there for 8 days. I booked this hotel as it was by the beach and away from Lomé but not too far about 20 mins to the town center. It was a nice experience as we also mixed with local people rather being with only tourists. It was a nice and big room facing the sea. The hotel was pleasant with a nice architecture. They kept the African spirit in this hotel. That's what I like the most. The food was good and they changed the menu regularly. The staffs were second to none, very smiling, always there to help, genuine don't change anything! Hopefully see you again next year. Michael
