The hotel is wonderfully helpful and unexpectedly provided a smoking room. It may not be large, but it is really well fitted. The staff were very kind and even arranged for breakfast to go as we left early. They were also extremely helpful during our transit stay, assisting with pick-up, taxis, and ferry, making our trip stress-free. The location is really good, perfectly suited for our overnight stay, though a bit cramped with buildings close to the window. The dining experience was OK with limited options. Overall, a great spot with exceptional service, perfect for a short stay.

The hotel went out of their way to accommodate us, even allowing us to stay 2 hours longer after check-out time. However, the room, albeit clean, was small, and with just 2 opened suitcases, the whole floor was covered. On the bright side, the bathroom is spacious and immaculately clean.

The hotel rooms were spacious and suited our needs, with great amenities giving a spa feeling, but unfortunately lacked any view. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel considered and valued throughout our stay. The location was convenient for visiting key sites in Mali but could be challenging for cars to reach the hotel entrance easily. The dining experience was adequate with plenty of options but fell short of expectations in some aspects. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and great amenities.
