Tumi Hostel

The hostel has a very tranquil and calm atmosphere. It was lovely to sit down for breakfast and dinner and chat with the people we met at the hostel. The women in the workshop turned my batik into a very fetching T-shirt in no time at all. The only problem was that my family kept getting locked in the bathroom with no working handle!

I stayed at Tumi for 3 weeks while doing research in Kumasi and I could not recommend them enough! The rooms are kept very clean, the staff is very friendly, and they've cultivated a really nice community feel. There's also plenty of comfortable shared space to relax or work, and the hostel is overall very quiet in what is otherwise a very bustling city! The food at Tumi is also fantastic. There is a general menu which includes familiar items like a falafel wraps and burger, and there's a family style Ghanaian meal served every night which I can't recommend highly enough. In my 3 weeks there, I also did not have any stomach issues. I was staying in one of the double rooms, which did not have AC, but it did have two large fans and the room was on the shaded side of the building so it was always a comfortable temperature. I also had a large, hot shower with good water pressure which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I highly recommend Tumi if you're stopping through Kumasi and want a quiet but fun place to stay!

Wonderful accommodation and food in a great hostel run by a charitable foundation. The communal meals are a great way to meet other travellers. The staff were very friendlly. As an added bonus all profits go towards their Empowering Women charity

One of my favorite places so far. It’s a green and quite oasis in the heart of Kumasi. The staff is very friendly and all profits go into their own womenempowerment program. Everything is really clean, there are three strong fans in the dorm with comfy beds. Also they offer a communal dinner and generally great food.

I loved the overall vibe at Tumi. Everything is run by women, and the hostel is set up to support local women. There is a mix of both forms and private rooms. My room was large and clean, but there was no air conditioning. The breakfast and dinners are communal meals, which I enjoyed. They also have great vegetarian/vegan options.
