The best accommodations Mid-West

Located in a quiet area at the entrance of the city, this hostel offers comfortable, clean and warm rooms with bathroom, ventilated or air-conditioned. Some of them are a little stuffy, without real windows facing the outside, ask to see several of them. The establishment is also known for its very good food. Belgian, French, and Senegalese specialties prepared mostly with local products. You can enjoy a roof terrace converted into a lounge under a thousand stars.

Located in the city center and above the eponymous Lebanese restaurant, Big Faim offers about 50 rooms as well as 2 modern and European-style equipped suites (air conditioning, satellite TV, wifi, fully equipped bathroom...), quite expensive, but mostly frequented by businessmen. One can cool off in the swimming pool in the inner courtyard overlooking the restaurant. Prefer shawarmas, Lebanese specialties and pastries to Senegalese dishes, without more. Friendly and available staff.

This hotel is about 3 km from the city center, at the entrance of Thies. A bit out of the way, but it has the advantage of being close to the bus station and the toll highway. We stay there in basic rooms, but comfortable and spacious. Certainly without much charm, the establishment is nevertheless clean and calm. About thirty kilometers from Blaise Diagne airport, it will nevertheless be perfect to spend a night if your flight lands at night and you have to go to Saint-Louis the next day. Pleasant staff and good food.

Located in the centre of Thiès, above the BHS agency, this residence offers rooms and apartments with simple but elegant decoration. Clean and bright, the accommodation is equipped with all modern conveniences: air conditioning, mini bar, flat-screen TV and private bathroom. Some rooms have a bathtub and a small balcony. The apartments are quite spacious and have a kitchenette with kettle, cupboards and fridge. The service is also impeccable. Good value for money.

Just a few steps away from the bus station of Louga, this hotel is very appreciated by business people for its cleanliness and quietness. The rooms and suites, all air-conditioned, are correct and comfortable, with private bathroom and equipped with mosquito nets, mini bar and TV. Some rooms have a balcony. It is also possible to eat on site, the menu offers Senegalese and European specialities. Professional and pleasant welcome. Undoubtedly the best value for money in the city.

Located in the old centre of Thies, near the Rex cinema, one of the city's first hotels has about 30 modest rooms, organised around a central patio. They are clean with shower (cold water) and toilet, and most are equipped with mosquito nets and TV. On the roof, a large terrace allows you to bask in the sun, while enjoying a panoramic view of the city. As for the meals, you can enjoy a good cuisine made of grilled meat and local dishes in a large patio dominated majestically by a hundred-year-old rubber tree.

This hotel, which is rather frequented by businessmen, has 37 air-conditioned rooms, which are slightly blurred but clean, in front of the Stade Lat Diop, on the new road of Saly. The decoration is very local with large furniture and sparkling tapestries. The hotel is very well equipped: Flowered patio to reach the swimming pool, terrace, wifi, satellite TV, fitness room, billiard room, everything in a pleasant setting. Beware, the boss is a man of conviction… he does not serve alcohol in the restaurant or in the bar!

In the heart of the desert, this ecolodge blends perfectly with the surrounding dune landscapes. Thirty-four Mauritanian tents are placed on the golden sand of the desert. They are spacious and well equipped. It is best not to arrive too late if you want to slide on the sand, ride a camel or go for a quad ride. The bar-restaurant offers a superb view of the dunes. We enjoy having a drink with our feet in the sand, dancing to the rhythm of the tam-tams, tasting hearty meals and laughing around the fire. It's magical!

Hotel located in the residential area of Louga. Simple, clean rooms, but which deserve a good rejuvenation. Some rooms have balconies with a pleasant view of the area. For those who wish to sunbathe, a large roof terrace has been created. This beautiful villa with its harmonious architecture also houses an Italian restaurant with a well-stocked menu (large choice of pastas and pizzas) and a small adjoining fast-food restaurant, a pretty swimming pool and a meeting room.

Air-conditioned, ventilated, but clean rooms in a huge complex once offered by the late President of Gabon to former President Abdou Diouf. It seems that it is more used for its conference room than for its rooms. It can be an alternative if you have no choice.
