Simply dreadful. Dirty, broken, poor food, insouciant staff. Spent one miserable night suffering the noise from a massive party around the pool which went on to past 4am. Moved to another hotel the following day which felt like paradise by comparison

My room was very comfortable, the A/Cwork well, the housekeeping staff was excellent and so responsive,especially Binte Traore, the supervisor and Mama Toure her assistant. The breakfast buffet offered a nice selection of delicious fresh fruit, locally baked bread and sweet rolls, etc, tasty omelets, etc. Security was excellent. The grounds were well maintained, including a lovely swimming pool. The hotel is well situated near the center of Nouakchott. I enjoyed my stay very much.

Bien situé près d autres restaurants. Mais de gros problèmes d organisation.

Chambre propre mais vielle surtout la salle de bain. Bref relativement cher pour le produit.. à renover rapidement

pas loin , il y a un bien meilleur hôtel

Horrible : déjà le personnel ne trouvait pas ma réservation et j'ai eu la chance (enfin c'est ce que je pensais car il aurait été mieux que je change d'hotel) qu'ils aient une chambre libre. Donc la gestion des réservations de cet hôtel laisse à désirer. Ensuite pas d'ascenceur, chambre basique, petit lit, salle de bains moche et complètement dépassée. Bref un hôtel vieillot, personnel peu efficace, petit déjeuner horrible et chambre à rénover de toute urgence . Pour un prix exhorbitant donc je ne recommande pas cet hôtel - il y a mieux pas loin
