    Too many flies in and around the restaurant. Impossible to eat if you don't accept them. Pool was too warm. Could be cooled a little Hard mattresses Old and dilapidated building.

    Location is great. Just next to the national assembly and main area in Nouaktchott

    For the price (roughly $145 per night) the quality is below that of for example Accor Group of hotels. The food quality and choice is limited. For example the hotel can once a week propose a different type of food: Chinese, Indian, Italian, Continental etc. Azalai is probably the best hotel in Nouakchott but I think it is below the standard of 3-star hotels like Novotel or City/Town Lodge in SA. For breakfast there is not enough variety of breads.

    The breakfast is good overall.

    Central hotel, great pool and comfy rooms.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Restaurant not as stylish as photos show, basic wooden chairs, all plants missing and lighting dim. The photos advertised are from some years ago when it first opened, as much is quite dated and changed now. On two nights only an expensive buffet available instead of advertised a la carte menu. Room was comfortable but with dated dark wood furniture. Big desk and handy sockets and good soundproofing though. No currency exchange here as advertised and hotel could not get card machine to work for my Mastercard so had to withdraw cash and incur large foreign cash fee to pay. The reason I booked was to pay everything by card. I've read since that this is a frequent issue. Expensive breakfast for a mediocre offering, many items run out way before breakfast finishes and are not replenished. 2 of the 3 coffee machines not working and had to ask for plates and cups etc. Only one receptionist speaks English so often had communication issues. No tours desk/concierge. There are limited decent hotel options in Nouakchott so this hotel may not be so bad a choice.

    Central location next to Parliament and major sightseeing places. Great air con, wifi and bed. High security is evident at entrance. Big, clean pool with plenty of sun loungers and nice atmosphere. Pleasant busy bar. Free shuttle was great as the new airport is a long, long way from the city. Aisha - a manager, was excellent at helping me and found a good driver to take me to Senegal, ask for her as she is great.

    Very slow check in. No towels in room on arrival. Over priced water and soft drinks. Staff that prefer to talk amongst themselves than cater for customers. A manager that asked us WHAT WE WANTED when calling him over because of lack of service and staff group chatting. One colleague who waited 30min for a coke was then told don’t have run out go and buy from reception as he was to lazy to go and get it himself. The rooms are run down and not what the pictures show. The price also is far to expensive for what you get. Overall an an experience I was happy to get away from. Avoid.

    there is no elevator, which is strange for a brand like Azalaï…especially as guests would have to climb with their luggage. The gym also had a lot of mosquitoes.
