Somewhere nice features

Somewhere nice is the newest member of the Bohemian Hostels and Hotels family. We pride ourselves in being environmentally friendly and strive for a cleaner, more environmentally-aware Ghana. We do this through recycling and upcycling old wood, metal, tires, etc. to make unique furniture and other nice installations. We are proud that, wherever possible, we use Ghanaian goods and Ghanaian craftsmanship. Somewhere nice offers private ensuite rooms (double, double deluxe, twin and triple), 8-bed mixed dorms, 7-bed female dorms, loft (4 bed) and studio (5 bed) rooms which are great for families or small groups traveling together.

We have got much more to offer at somewhere nice besides a place to call home.

If you pay with card, your bank or card provider may charge you fees for payments in foreign currency and will set their own exchange rates. In exceptional case​s, we may accept payment in cash with US Dollars or Euros, however the price total will be recalculated using an in-house exchange rate.

Some final but important points to remember!

On occasion, due to the nature of hostels, it can happen that guests need to move rooms during their stay despite our best efforts to limit and avoid such cases.

All bookings must be paid for on arrival or at the time of extension.

We do not allow check out and check in of rooms on the same day, unless there is no other option available. i.e. no bed/room hopping!
We reserve the right to ask anyone to leave if we feel they are disturbing the general operation of the hostel, other guests or our staff.

We kindly ask guests for understanding.
