We stayed in a lovely typical West African "case"-red clay wallets, thatched roof, gorgeous artwork, old and new, from the bedroom walls to the toilet paper holder. Lush garden, works by multiple contemporary Burkinabe artists, very helpful staff, lovely location, helpful friendly owners, aLl at very good prices.

The latest art exhibition is stunning,... More

The Karite Bleu is a very nice hotel decorated with African art and a beautiful garden; it’s in a very quiet environment. I was here on a business trip, and this hotel is a good alternative if you don’t like big hotels with no soul. Staff is very friendly and committed. There are, however, some inconveniences to this hotel. For... More

For Ougadougou, this place is a retreat... More
