    The hotel is just fine. Nothing too fancy or luxurious. The staff are somewhat sluggish, lacking oomph. Food is just okay too. The pool looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a week.

    Modern City Hotel 🏨 is one of the leading hospitality service provider in Tamale. Located at Gumani off the Airport Road. It's less than an hour drive from the airport. Very polite attendants, very beautiful swimming 🏊 pool. Very large conference halls. The ideal place to host your wedding receptions, Outdooring and Birthday parties. They have a very spacious packing lot, well tiled. And don'tget me started on the flowers, making the environment very peaceful. I had a ton of fun there. Hope to go back again. 😍 . See you on the next review...... Bye for now 😁😁😁

    The hotel is bigger than many of the hotels in the northern region. It has been one of the go-to places for conferences et al. However more professional service is required to keep the place in competition with new entrants. Service is quite below average at many levels; restaurant, conferencing, reception..etc. House keeping should take into consideration other important items like lotion, toothpaste and gel for visitors who might not have packed such items. Food is good. You get to have a taste of local dishes. But the lead time between order and delivery is long, and no one seem bothered. Management must take this seriously. A new establishment with similar size will give them a good run for their money.

    Worst hotel experience ever. Pool not clean, expensive, inattentive staff, door not opening and closing well and neighboring rooms under construction. Hospitality and costumer orientation unknown. Clearly cheaper and better hotels in direct surroundings

    Before I even tell you about this place, let me just say that I've added an insane number of pictures of this place cos I figured why not😀 actually just twenty- something... Ok, now to the main review, modern city hotel is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Tamale, it has been around for quite some time, it has come a long way and developed much overtime, it's a popular name in Tamale and I believe that tells you something, that they're better than good at what they offer. Look, I'm just going to say this flat, modern city is not cheap, if you're looking for a budget friendly place I don't think this is the place for you, however, if quality for money is what you hope for, this place is definitely worth considering. I don't want to detail too much of what they have and don't have, however, I am going to say that this hotel is a complete package. A few pointers though, Location I think is just right, gym, bar, pool, conference halls, in fact, this place perhaps is the most available place to hold variety of events, I can't count the number of times I've been here for one event or the other... Alright, that will be all for now, until my next review, peace

    It is a nice and a serine environment, with a swimming pool, restaurant, parking lot and many other things.

  • 3/5 Ahmed Z. 10 months ago on Google
    Per Tamale standard I must say it's ok. The rooms are very big.

  • 5/5 pesi N. 1 year ago on Google
    Is really cool here, the rooms are spacious and food is delicious. There is swimming pool to cool off one's head and the atmosphere only is welcoming. Is just like home and close to nature too

    Really disappointed with this place. We had to suffer staying here for 4 nights while “Best Lodge” didn’t have rooms but we returned to best lodge as soon as we could for their much better service and rooms. The window didn’t seal so mosquitoes could get in. I got about 30 bites while staying here for 4 days but the week before and after we best lodge I didn’t get any bites. I kept finding cockroaches in the room and even a dead one in the fridge. I had a room where there was a tin roof just under the window, 24hours a day there was an air conditioning unit above my room dripping on that roof making it very hard to relax. No mirror in the bathroom for some weird reason. Rooms are not very clean, felt like I didn’t want to touch anything or walk on the floor bare footed. My room was apparently above the kitchen so I could always smell the grease from chip frying etc. The staff are seriously apathetic and clearly didn’t want to be there either. If I’m back in Tamale I will choose to stay anywhere before Modern City hotel

    A very iconic hotel in Tamale with a big parking space for events. Staff are very friendly

  • 3/5 Samuel A. 6 months ago on Google
    Not the best of hotels. The AC in my room was not working. I wouldn't willingly stay here.

  • 3/5 Ebenezer Boakye A. 10 months ago on Google
    Good reception with normal comfortable rooms. Breakfast was nice with some variety. Staff reception is good, they just seem overwhelmed when the numbers are huge, hence, their response to request isn't prompt. Their internet connectivity should be worked on, it quite below the standard of the hotel.

    I can't really say much because I was there for 30 minutes to have breakfast. Breakfast was only rice porridge, coffee, vegetables, sausages, and fried egg. But in all, the hotel is spacious with a big swimming pool for your relaxation.

  • 5/5 Isaac Clifford A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice hotel. One of the best in the north but the sanitation situation at the entrance should be attended to. The gutter is dirty and rubbers all over the forest opposite the hotel. The immediate surroundings should be attractive just like the inside.

  • 4/5 Issah A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a meeting there but most of the workers there were looking clueless and didn't appear professional. More room for improvement.

  • 2/5 Obed A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very low value for your money. Had to call reception each day before my room was served with water and beverage services are poor

    Very friendly and security tight environment and rooms

  • 2/5 Hilda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are old, sockets need upgrading. For the price being charged they can improve customer experience and their breakfast

  • 4/5 Forster A. 1 year ago on Google
    A huge establishment but I think they need to improve on the room cleaning. The food at the restaurant too is too expensive and not really special. Breakfast was cool

  • 1/5 Mohamed El Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst hotel experience ever. Pool not clean, expensive, inattentive staff, cheaters, breakfast was not good and very limited, room service is the Worst.

  • 2/5 Christian T. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything about this hotel is sub-standard. From the reception to their rooms to their food. Very huge edifice but nothing to write home about. The place also need serious maintenance. Smh

    Worst Hotel experience ever! I really travel a lot because of my work and associations so I’ve been to many hotels & resorts across the country. I repeat this is the worst experience ever. From a mean and stern lady who seemed to be the “madam” of all the ladies at the reception to getting infected with malaria. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s a policy at “modern city” hotel for that stern and meanness to transcend to the very customers who give you their hard earned cash for at least the bare minimum of hotel hospitality. Yes, because she’s also mean and stern to her subordinates. When I arrived, I overhead an Asian man at the reception requesting for a room not on the 1st floor, because he had a horrible experience with mosquitoes. They gladly obliged and gave him a different room. He made his reservation the previous day. I had my reservation made almost 4 weeks to my arrival. I decided to engage them and also request for a room above the 1st floor. She explained with all meanness that the Asian people do not close their doors that’s why he had that experience. I thought it wasn’t a reason enough, because at least deal with the mosquito issue, but I tried to understand because from all indications she wasn’t going to budge to our request. Is it because I’m Ghanaian and the other man had a lighter skin complexion? Well it’s already documented the difference between how we treat foreigners and our own country man. “Modern city” hotel exhibits discrimination to Ghanaians. I accepted my room on the 1st floor went in and realized there was a gap in the washroom window which I tried to solve but couldn’t. I traveled to Tamale for an assignment, that was top of mind, so I decided, I will keep the room and try to keep the washroom door closed at all times during my stay. I left for my assignment which was at the UDS campus. The challenge was that anytime they came for room service after I leave, the left the washroom door opened. I’ll come back in the evening to meet that and be looking around for mosquitoes. You may ask why didn’t I request or buy an insecticide spray. When you pay hard earned cash to a hotel, you expect to earn the value for money. It’s the basic minimum. I didn’t travel from Accra to Tamale to be a part time “mosquito hunter”. The bathroom is leaks into the main room. There’s an awful smell from the bathroom that gave me sneezing bouts throughout my stay. I’m back in Accra currently dealing with a sickening bout of malaria. Thank you “modern city” for this. I heard the President Nana Addo, chooses this hotel anytime he is in Tamale. I’m sure they’ll give him the best of service, but Mr. President I advise you to look for another hotel. A hotel is described as a “big” hotel not just because of its structure. Your service to your customers is prime. Maybe they should change the name to Primitive city hotel. It’s a horrible hotel! Won’t recommend to anybody.

    I want here for a training programs and during our second day,we went for our lunch and we want either plain rice or joloff rice, but those who were serving us the food told us that we have to take a rice balls either we like it or not. I was not happy about it,so they have to backup.

    Good location, spacious rooms, conference facilities and swimming pool. Need to improve upon their client service

  • 5/5 Wumtea A. 2 years ago on Google
    It spacious. I found a swimming pool. There is a table tennis facility and each Saturday is open for a marathon table tennis exercise and competition.

  • 4/5 Michael T. 2 years ago on Google
    This hotel is located on the main Tamale Bolgatanga road. It is easy to explore the center and other places popular for nightlife from here. There is a pool in the hotel and everything in the room worked just fine. The rate as at my visit were god compared to other similar hotels.

  • 2/5 John A. 2 years ago on Google
    This hotel was recommended to me by a friend and I must say we didn’t get the best of service. There were two receptionists and one was quite rude. Our room wasn’t clean, yet we were asked to sleep there. The washroom also lacked some basic accessories. We requested to move to another room and the pillows didn’t have covers which they later had to change. The pool looked dirty. The first impression at the front desk lacked a sense of professionalism. I humbly request the owners should pay a little attention to the overall service quality. Thanks

    Excellent location for cozy cool off all year round. Great atmosphere for relaxation and a perfect hangout for recreational activities. If you are in luck, you may catch the table tennis gang and enjoy a pleasant time socialising

  • 2/5 Samuel Laari N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice conference room but their washrooms are poorly kept, smelly with wet floors, no tissue paper after washing hands, hand dryer not functional... very disappointing for a place like that

  • 5/5 Abdul Hakim Genius - P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Hotels in Tamale. Spacious rooms and conference halls. Multipurpose auditorium. Good food. Love their plain rice with vegetable source stew.
