New Akan Hotel

Clearly when this hotel was new, it was a fabulous place. However, the property is now extremely dated, with 80s style decor throughout, and most seriously, poorly-maintained rooms containing worn and damaged furniture. The bathroom fittings have their original chrome scrubbed away. The towels were provided in multiple colours. The staff were very helpful, and were not at fault at all. The onsen facilities, while dated and in need of a refresh, were good. Although staying for two nights, we were unfortunately unable to sample the rooftop pool as it was closed due to high winds, when the wind was certainly not a problem on one day. The saving grace was the breakfast, which was plentiful and provided lots of choice. If you are aware that you're going to stay at a place possibly not refreshed since the 1980s, it's ok, but otherwise you may prefer to pay a little more and be sure of reaching a reasonable minimum standard.

We had some noisy neighbours but the staff very kindly moved us to a quieter room.

Nice place to stay.

Hotel is a little run down. In need of a make over.

It should be renamed the Old Akan Hotel, as the rooms are probably 1960s in style and amenity. It was definitely overpriced, given the small bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom was so small, there was not even space to put bottles of shampoo and body soap. These were provided in sachets. The hotel seems to have had a facelift on the outside and in the lobby and restaurant areas, but the rooms were ordinary. Not worth the money charged.
