Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Great hostel in Nouakchott - Tristan is very nice hospitable host and he gave me loads of advice on how to proceed my travels in Mauritania. It is the ultimate place for some rest in Nouakchott. If you would like to meet up with other travellers, then I highly recommend this place. This has been my favourite stay in the whole of Mauritania - would 100% come back.
The place is pretty simple, it's your regular guest house - nice and clean, especially for Mauritania it's very good. But our experience was GREAT. Samba (the host) picked us up us from the airport, helped us buy a simcard and bus tickets to Nouadhibou. In general he was really helpful and welcoming and I'm sure our time in Nouakchott wouldn't have been as pleasant if it hadn't been for him.
So if it's your first time in the country, definitely stay here!
Samba is a wonderful host, and his place is nice, it's a guest house near the Nouakchott center. He helped us with transport from the bus station, and back to the station the next day, and also helped us to exchange our money. This is the place with a hearth and owners giving their best.
The location is quiet yet secure, easy to reach from the city centre. The staff was very helpful. Maleinine at the reception was great. When asked, he arranged a car with a knowledgeable driver, helped with luggage (I had a lot). The breakfast was good and nutritious, served promptly.
Every thing was perfect, you feel like in the desert while you are in the middle of the city, nice place to meet people and the food in the restaurant is grat... Sebastian is a great host, always willing to help...
We had a wonderful stay at Le Triskell, actually two stays - one before and one after our desert trip. The Auberge has a cheery athmosphere with a changing mixture of travellers, expats and business folks. Sebastien is a great host and a good source of information. Le Triskell is one of these places where you can spend days hanging out without getting anything done. Food is very good and you can get laundry done. The outdoor area is the heart of Le Triskell. Just loved sitting there and enjoying chilled fresh lemonade.
