It’s right on top of the locals working and poverty.
When we arrived the Whole hotel lights were off.

Right across from the slave castle
Comfortable for one night, but my room was pretty basic and the AC was a bit weak. Breakfast is basic but welcomed and free. Amazing location right across from the slave castle, and right on the waterfront / fishing boat harbour. The smell of the water is stinky, but what can you do? Cheap beer and refreshments. They should probably renovate the rooms to make them a bit more plush (I killed some tiny cockroaches) but apart from the rooms it’s a pretty good place

I didn't think the property remarkable at all. It was adverage
at best. I only stayed one night and would probably not stay there again. I cannot compare this property to the others as I am unfamiliar with them.

Not recommended.
We stayed there two nights. First night the aircondition was not working, and they where unable to find us a room with one working.
Next night we stayed in a much smaller (and
cheaper listed ) room with an Air-conditioning that barely was working (27°c probably).
On checkout we asked to get back the difference in price for the last nights room, but got a no as an answer.
Not acceptable.

Top Lage, alles andere nur Durchschnitt. Ok.
Top Lage mitten im Dorf, direkt neben Castle und Fischerhafen. Bei Nachfrage kümmerte sich das Personal. Frühstück nur Omelette und Kaffee. Insgesamt in die Jahre gekommenes Haus.

Beautiful grounds, sloppy service, food so-so
You have to be in Ghana to appreciate that although the hotel was a bit decrepit, service slow and spotty, food mediocre, still the warmth of people and the wonderful grounds made for a good overall stay.
GOOD points: 1) Grounds are very green, peaceful and clean 2) Staff is very polite and pleasant 3) Beach is wonderful, even if you cannot get into the water (too dangerous) 4) Swimming pool was clean and well serviced
BAD points (for USD$175 per room): 1) we had to try 4 rooms before getting two where the AC worked 2) some rooms had towels, others not; some rooms had water and amenities, others not; some rooms had windows that closed, others not 3) Food service was very slow - but that is often the case in Ghana 4) Food was mediocre, breakfast buffet was OK, but far from international standards 5) Entertainment music at night was atrocious, except for a special show put on for American visitors ("Year of Return") 6) Lighting in the eating area is depressing (mostly neon white, and insufficient in other places) Why not put some candles on the tables? Inexpensive and atmospheric 7) No lounge chairs or any sort of chair to be taken to the beach 8) Rooms are very old, tired; no beds for couples (we got two singles stuck together with two solid wood pieces separating us); windows and doors were not very good, so lots of energy loss; no phones 9) When asked at check out, we politely told the receptionist about problems, she nodded pleasantly, but took no notes...

Budget Hotel
Budget hotel. Very noisy location. Very basic. Loved the cook. She was amazing and should be a manager. She was the only redeeming part of our stay.
No elevator. No hot water.

Would stay here again
I stayed here for one night and had a good nights sleep and a nice breakfast. The staff at Coconut Grove Bridgehouse were really friendly especially Stella who ensured that I was happy and told me of the things to do locally.

Great location. Great view from my room(#10) of the castle. Large room and bathroom. Staff was outstanding. The food was plentiful, tasty, and fresh.
The air conditionner was quite loud so I was fine with the fan on at night. It was a shame that the terrace was not available for eating or drinking.

It's an attractive old house, right in the heart of Elmina next to the port and with views across to the castle. The staff a very helpful and friendly. We had a comfortable and spacious room. Breakfast was very good.

Rooms are old; location is wonderful
Can't beat the location. The castle is a 3 minute walk across the bridge that gives you a great view of the fascinating fishing harbor.
The hotel building is old and attractively made of stone. The inside was a little old too. The first night I was there the water pressure on was a trickle although that was remedied the next day.
Staff was friendly and helpful although not always around.
Meals were good. Breakfast cane with generous sliced fruit. The dinner menu included Ghanaian dishes. I favored the Black Star over the red red
Somewhat of a PIA was a hustler/guide in the lobby. Why do they let him be there?
None of the liabilities were significant enough to outweigh the advantage of the location. This will be even more so when the upgraded deck is completed.

Not bad for a night or two...
Hotel is in s great location to the slave trade castle literally next door to it. It’s an older building so definitely some renovations are needed. Room was decent no hot water or shower curtain in our bathroom but we manage with the bucket that was provided. It gets really load in the mornings due to the locals coming out and setting up shop and going out on the river to fish. Overall it was nice. I will say this we over paid... the walk-in price is way cheaper in their currency.

A great hotel
Easily THE best place to stay in Elmina. The location is perfect, the staff are friendly and helpful, the food is excellent and the rooms are spacious, well appointed and clean. What more do you want? We just got back home an hour ago and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

This hotel didn’t feel safe. It was hard to get inside the hotel due to locals hassling us to buy things and wanting money. Also had to take a rusted metal bridge with large holes from the parking lot to front door. Signs posted inside hotel stating they are not responsible for items stolen from hotel rooms. We stayed about 30 minutes and found another hotel.

Hotel in spectacular location
This old hotel has a spectacular location overlooking the castle and the fishing harbour. The rooms, beds and bathrooms are large and cocmfortabale with good views, air conditioning and water heating are good. Breakfast has toast, egg, fruit juice and tea coffee. the evening meal menu is a bit limited.. Hotel guests can also use for free the facilities of the nearby Coconut Grove beack resort with pool and beach (about 3km away). Bridge House is a great value Hotel in a perfect location .

Nice place to stay
This hotel is conveniently located next to Elmina castle and a short drive to Cape Coast. The parking is across an old bridge which has the potential for stepping hazards at night if you don't have a cell phone light. The staff is extremely hospitable and took care of all of our needs. The restaurant food was excellent. There wasn't any wifi connection which would make a business trip unproductive but it was oh kay; my family spent more time communicating with each other. Also, there wasn't a shower curtain but I don't know if this is standard in Ghana as another hotel we stayed in didn't have one either. We took the opportunity to visit the sister hotels beach & pool for free and it was a nice day excursion. Thank you to all the wonderful staff we met at CGBH, they helped make our stay pleasant.
