While a ways of out town, the Hotel du Phare was a great find. We spent 10 days there and got a good sense of the place during that time.

For black Americans the situation will probably even worse. Any one from the West is seen as a walking money tree and... more

Mid-priced acommodation was difficult to find in advance, but I was able to get a reservation at this quaint botique... more

I needed a hotel close to the airport as my plane arrived at 2am. This hotel is a 10 minute taxi ride from the airport, in Ouakam, a quiet suburb near to the sea. It was easy to make the booking by email and they sent a car to collect me from the airport. The hotel is very clean and... more
