[QUOTE=Hesekiels]Hi Lukaszek:
Niagara hotel in Adabraka will certainly accept your visa card, but be prepared to pay about 2% more then. However, I do always prefer cash payments! Why?
Look at the following worst case scenario: just imagine that you accidentally made a local girl pregnant! Then she can easily trace your surname, home address etc. via the 'card details' you left somewhere (e.g. in the hotel), can't she!? So, better play safe! :) :) :)
Cheers

I have reason to think my credit card details were lifted when I used the card at the Niagara for room payment. Staff made a big deal of giving me the carbons to destroy but within a week the card was used for the usual scams. The card was shut down and I did not have a loss from the incident but did have the bother of getting a new card. I think careful use of a card at ATM's is somewhat safe but hotel staff anywhere in Ghana are tempted to sell card information. Visa offers prepaid cards for travelers and a handful of low value cards might serve better in a insecure environment.
Unless improvements have been made, the Niagara has some rooms with very poor A/C. It's owned by some Lebanese so no pork products on offer at breakfast or anytime. Great location. As always, a frendly staff. Good rooftop restaurant nearby. Small and empty hotel bar but this is not where you go to meet the ladies.
