Pros:

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

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay for our first visit to Mauritania. The hotel staff was very helpful prior to and after arrival to arrange airport transportation and to help us navigate to required COVID tests for departure (PCR free of charge by government and provided results the same afternoon). Hotel does not have a shuttle, and breakfast price is much less (10x) than shown in info page. Hotel has a lovely pool to cool down in or relax by. Fast Internet. We would stay here again.

Pros:

Bien situé près d autres restaurants. Mais de gros problèmes d organisation. Pas la a mon arrivée avec la navette et loupé au départ... et ils veulent la faire payer 25 usd alors que sur le site elle est gratuite
Restaurant ok..piscine agréable. Chambre propre mais vielle surtout la salle de bain.
Bref relativement cher pour le produit.. à renover rapidement

passez votre chemin pour un hôtel digne de ce nom
Pros:

hotel à rénover entièrement - manque de confort - meubles et lit bon marché et inconfortables - mauvais wifi et personnel peu accueillant. Bref le dernier hotel où aller à Nouakchott

pas loin , il y a un bien meilleur hôtel
Pros:

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

Pros:

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.
