The best youth hostels Saint-Louis

Between river and ocean, and close to downtown, this hostel offers both dormitories and rooms, all well maintained. The setting is very nice and the welcome is warm. One can have a drink or breakfast on the roof terrace with a breathtaking view of the small arm of the river and the Langue de Barbarie fishermen's canoes. The rooms are simple, clean with mosquito net and fan. It is also possible to taste Senegalese dishes, on order. Very good value for money.

Right in the city centre, this small, clean and friendly hostel offers dormitory beds and a few air-conditioned and ventilated rooms, with or without indoor bathroom. The terrace on the first floor is a peaceful place to have breakfast or to relax during the day. The staff is pleasant and available, and the hostel is well secured. It is a good starting point to visit the city, but also the surroundings, as you can organize your various excursions from here. Good value for money.
