The best accommodations Bangui

Christened the name of the original village of its founder (on the road to Mobaye), located away from the bustle of Boganda Avenue, this hotel does not attract attention, but it offers a spacious, comfortable interior. An excellent service provided by an efficient and helpful staff adds a simple and aesthetic environment: the huge white walls are decorated with contemporary African paintings with shimmering colours, ebony statues are scattered in every corner… the building of a floor offers an intimate atmosphere and unexplained lights, where the stairs follow the long corridors striated by the rays of the sun which filter through the blinds. The comfortable, air-conditioned rooms, but of modest volume, each have a tiny balcony. The furniture of painted wood and flowery sheets give them a tropical warmth. Bathroom with bathtub and satellite TV in all rooms. 

A true institution in Bangui, the Centre's hotel is the point of fall for all travellers on mission and other businessmen. Its central location and ease of access, just a few feet from KP 0, make its strategic position. Its 72 rooms, spread over two floors, surround a beautiful oval swimming pool in the middle of a lush tropical garden. The rooms are correct, but the carpet and bathrooms are getting older. The service, professional, dedicated and available, makes it possible to feel comfortable in this aging structure, but clean and always comfortable. All rooms have air conditioning, satellite TV and international telephone. Sometimes available in the lobby, close to the restaurant (breakfast from 6 am to 10 pm) and bar. The reception changes the euro without commission.

A long fleuron of the banguissoise hotel, this huge 13-storey gross building enjoys a dominant position on the corniche, thus offering breathtaking views over the Oubangui and neighbouring Congo. However, since 1985, the group has dissociated itself from the Accor group, because of the obsolescence of the rooms and the lack of dynamism in management. Today, its ideal swimming pool, with octagonal shape and pretending to fly above the river, is often empty. To preserve its luxury status, many work is under way and still not finished during our passage in June 2012, including the creation of a left wing and new services. New paillottes, spread over the rocky progress, overlook the river since 2009 and offer one of the most beautiful views to enjoy the currents. The suites on the 13 ^th floor, which enjoy an amazing view on the river, have been renovated: The carpets are in good condition and, despite the cramoisis curtains, the clinquante decoration and the ceremonious jours, all the pieces are comfortable enough. The tiny balcony with each room provides a full panorama of the panorama and the bathrooms are spacious and functional. The Bamara restaurant, next to the all-singing mirror bar, is one of the best surprises. Quality international and African cuisine, served in a beautiful bright room with a breathtaking view of the river. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The state-of-the-art hotel in Bangui offers new rooms with beautiful furniture. Wi-Fi is available and free of charge, which is still extremely rare in Bangui. Breakfast is not included in the room price. Therefore, count 6 000 extra FCFA per person. 

A labyrinth oasis on a busy street, the National Hotel is certainly an original testimony of the style of the 1970 s. Surprisingly, a maze of stairs connects the rooms to the reception via an external flat platform. Behind a new yellow and white façade, its 30 rooms have been renovated. A little bit of young people who adds the quality of this hotel. Reception at the reception is courteous and dedicated.
