Finding cheap hotels in Benin: FAQs

Yes. Party hostels and youth hostels with 20-person dorms do still exist in most cities, but so do ultra-modern boutique hostels with plenty of private rooms, cosy bars, and even swimming pools. These kinds of hostels are popular with solo travellers over 30.
Since you’ll be surrounded by other likeminded travellers, hostels are always the safest (and most sociable!) places to stay in Benin. You’ll meet new friends to go out with, share tips and advice on how to get around and find out if there are any unsafe places to avoid. Most major Benin hostels even have female-only dorms. And if you’re worried about your belongings, don’t be — you can lock them away in a padlocked locker or safe while you’re out exploring.
