"Pros: The view from the restaurant was beautiful, and the food was delicious. The staff were very kind and welcoming. I would be happy to stay here again. Cons: I heard loud music from a nearby village the night before a public holiday, but that’s quite common in Benin, and it wasn’t so loud that I couldn’t sleep. The shower only had cold water, but since it was hot, it wasn't a problem." ~Sarasara

"Pros: The rooms on the water are rustic but delightful. It was lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the water lapping underneath and the frogs croacking. Cons: Getting food was a bit of a struggle. We had to go to a different property (only about 300 meters away), and the food took some time to be delivered." ~Sandra

"Pros: Our stay at MGA Residence in Ouidah had its positives but also a few challenges. The rooms were spacious and very clean, though slightly dark due to limited natural light from smaller windows. Set within a mall complex, the property has a cozy feel, though the surrounding structure gives the plot a more enclosed atmosphere. Dining at MGA Residence is a notable experience, as the hotel has been praised for its food. The bar and restaurant are the only outdoor seating areas available, offering a relaxing atmosphere, although we did encounter some differences in the menu expectations. For example, the "grilled fillet" arrived as meat sliced on skewers and cooked differently than anticipated. The fish, however, was fresh and well-prepared, a nice highlight for seafood lovers. The breakfast setup is worth mentioning, as it’s included for only one person per room. The basic breakfast offering consists of small pieces of bread, jam, tea, and instant coffee—simple but sufficient. A key inconvenience we encountered was that the hotel did not accept credit card payments, as the machine was reportedly out for repairs. Fortunately, they accepted cash in U.S. dollars. Finally, the staff was friendly and accommodating, eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Overall, I would recommend MGA Residence as a comfortable option in Ouidah. Cons: However, guests should clarify menu expectations and bring cash to avoid payment issues." ~Linda
