In a video shared by The State News, the foreign tourist, described as a white male, expressed his appreciation for the accommodation he booked. The facility, which he described as a hostel, cost £15 per night, equivalent to GH₵217.63.
The room featured a two-storey bunk bed, with curtains attached to each bunk to provide some level of privacy.
According to the video, there were four bunk beds in the room, meaning eight occupants shared the space.
The room also contained a standing fan and an air-conditioner, although it was unclear whether both functioned simultaneously.
In addition, all eight occupants shared a single washroom and toilet, sparking further debate among netizens.
Despite the tourist’s satisfied tone, many Ghanaians argued the price did not match the quality he received, especially within Accra, where alternatives exist at similar or slightly higher rates.
Others, however, insisted that hostels in major cities worldwide often charge even more for similar or worse conditions.
The internet became heavily divided, with opinions falling sharply across both sides.
