Hotel Elik Melen

Rio Muni


Not a lot works at this hotel: bedside lights, room fridge, restaurant. But staff are friendly and so desperate for guests that you'll immediately be offered discounts on accommodation and food (if they are serving it). It's well located in the centre of town. Rooms are spacious and stylish, some with balconies, though a few cockroaches might join the party.

There's a pleasant bar and terrace with sea view.
