Byblos Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a 4-star base in Zone 4 with a pool, gym and free airport shuttle listed, at well under the price of our Luxury pick. Skip it if you want to swim in the evening, since guests say the pool closes at 5 PM.

This is our Best Value pick in Abidjan. It suits business travellers and short-stay visitors who want facilities on site and shops and restaurants close by. Guests say Zone 4 puts them near shopping malls and places to eat.
The listing is generous: a gym, a pool, a restaurant, a garden, free parking and a free airport shuttle. Guests also describe the staff as friendly, professional and attentive.
If a late swim after a day of meetings is part of your plan, this is a poor fit. Guests find the 5 PM pool closing time inconvenient.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Marcory, at Rue Mercedes, Abidjan Zone 4. Guests rate the location 8.7 out of 10.
Straight-line walking estimates: Houphouët-Boigny Bridge is 4.4 km, about 55 minutes. St. Paul's Cathedral is 5.9 km, about 74 minutes. Both are far, so you will need a taxi or public transport.
The free airport shuttle is a real plus for arrival and departure. Confirm the times and how to book it before you travel.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 420 reviews, joint second of 8 eligible hotels in the sample.
Staff get the most praise, followed by the Zone 4 location close to malls and restaurants.
The complaint is specific: the pool is large and modern, but it closes at 5 PM. Guests who wanted an evening swim found that frustrating.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
For a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults), the reference price was €190.56 per night, about €381 in total. The sample median was €178.56, so it sits a little above the middle of the market. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Blawa, is 3 stars, scores 8.7 and came in at €70.97 per night. Our Luxury pick, La Maison Palmier Abidjan, a Member of Design Hotels, is 5 stars, scores 9.1 and was €285.08 per night.
Hotel Blawa has the same guest score for far less money, so if you only need a clean bed, it is worth a look. Byblos earns its place through what it adds: 4 stars, a pool, a gym and the airport shuttle, for about €94.52 a night less than the Luxury pick.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible hotels in Abidjan. The Best Value slot weighs guest score, the number of reviews and price; it is not the cheapest. Byblos combines an 8.7 score from 420 reviews with the widest set of practical facilities at a mid-range price.
