The 2015 AFCON is
well underway, and while the matches have been thrilling there have been quite
a number of accommodation situations faced by the qualifying teams. Apparently,
while Equatorial Guinea was very gallant in volunteering to host the tournament
this year, there were questions as to whether the country would be ready to
host on time.
Recently we told you about the four beautiful cities hosting the tournament in Equatorial Guinea. If you’re thinking of going to see a game or two and wondering what a West African country like Equatorial Guinea might have in store for you. Great weather and a good game of football of course!

You may have heard
talks about how hard it is to find a good hotel in Equatorial Guinea but some team parties like Ghana and South Africa were
able to find suitable enough accommodation. The African Cup of Nations was carefully planned to accommodate
teams of football champions from across Africa. Here are the top hotels in
Equatorial Guinea where you are most likely to find your favourite football
stars. The hotels are fit for superstars and superfans alike so look around and
take your pick. You can book the best hotels in Equatorial Guinea on Jovago.com, Africa’s largest online
booking portal.
You wouldn’t be
surprised to see an enormous hotel planted right in the centre of Equatorial
Guinea’s capital city, Malabo but more than one thing sets the Ibis Malabo
hotel apart. It is conveniently located in the Business District of Malabo and
every one of its 130 rooms comes fully equipped with an inviting double bed that
ignites a cosy, luxury experience.
The modern design of
the hotel highlights the famous Ibis name and ensures that travellers get the
very best. If that’s not enough to draw you in to take a peek, Ibis Malabo
offers an all-you-can-eat buffet every day from 6.30 to 10 am, providing guests
with locally accessible continental and traditional dishes.
As the name suggests,
the Sofitel Malabo Presidential Palace is a 5 star hotel designed for the
high-fliers and those who want to get a taste of what it might feel like to be
a king or president. Every inch of the Sofitel Malabo screams luxury, as it has
long hosted several African Presidents and VIPs. The historic building has been
transformed from a military training camp to one of the best hotels in the
country. One can have a gourmet meal at the beautiful El Basile Restaurant with
a terrace that overlooks the pool or catch a breathtaking view of the Malabo
Cathedral while sipping tea after a day’s game.
The newly built city
of Sipopo has a gem in its midst. The Sofitel Malabo Sipopo Le Golff building
is a magnificent piece of African architecture. Built on a golf course that
overlooks Mount Cameroon, it draws attention to the quiet Guinean charm with a view
of the surrounding city and countryside.
This hotel comes
complete with its own private beach, tennis court and swimming pool overlooking
the sea. You can also whet your appetite with exclusive French delicacies
served in this mini-city. Book these luxury hotels at the lowest prices on Jovago.com
Considering the matches were being held at the stadiums in
Mongomo and Ebebiyin, it makes sense that the players were lodged around this
area. Teams found accommodation in small, unnamed lodges around the towns,
granting them easy access to training fields and the match location. Now that
the quarter final matches are being moved to Bata and Malabo, and considering
the teams moving on to the quarter finals are much less than the 16 that
qualified, accommodation should no longer be a problem, regardless of how many
people they have in their parties.
