Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nicely decorated with old photos and pictures of postal planes, offering spacious rooms that provide satisfactory comfort. It can be noisy at night due to traffic but is quiet on Saturday nights, making for an overall pleasant stay.
The hotel exudes African simplicity and rawness, full of character, but don't expect a quiet Saturday night stay. The rooms overlook the bridge, maintaining cleanliness with a unique charm. Service is super-friendly and welcoming, except for a minor incident with a staff member. The location is excellently placed at the waterfront, offering easy access to all the city has to offer. The dining experience is a hit or miss, and the lack of towels and proper shower facilities could be improved.
The hotel has a charmingly decorated African simplicity with a certain upgrade. While it was quite noisy at night due to traffic passing by early in the morning, the old photos and pictures of postal planes add to its unique ambiance.
I couldn't have asked for a better location with stunning views, friendly staff, and cozy common areas. However, the room was a bit dark and lacked personality. The hotel is a great value for money overall.

Don't expect any room here or anywhere else in Saint Louis to be quiet on Saturday night over the Eiffel bridge swarming with Mauritanians in their boubous. The rooms have a certain upgrade but lack quietness.
