I will start with the fact that the Saint Louis is rather popular and visited by tourists the city of Senegal. And this is not surprising, since it was founded in the middle of the seventeenth century, in the midst of the slave trade and for a long time was the capital of this colony (until 1902). In addition, it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. And since this city attracts tourists, it is necessary to say hotels in Saint-Louis, for every taste.
The feature of the location of the city is such that the big territory is located in the Delta of the Senegal River, even more correctly, in the river islands, connected by bridges. But tourists prefer the western part of the city, which is an island in the form of an elongated rectangle and the sandy braid next to it on the Atlantic coast. Therefore, I will talk about a couple of hotels in these areas of Saint-Louis.
Quite not bad can be called Hotel La Residence 3 *,
which is located almost in the central part of the West Island, on the street Blaise Diagne 159. . The building is a well-preserved architecture of the colonial period. And about this reminds not only its appearance, but also internal decoration. This creates a feeling that you are in the epoch when the city flourished from the incomes from the slave trade and the goods produced in this part of the "black" continent. The rooms are not so chic, but decorated with taste (I mean furniture, pictures on the walls, the situation itself), and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. In particular, they are equipped with air conditioning and fans, so you yourself can choose what you are more suitable.
There is a TV with satellite channels, and a DVD player. There is a fridge in a small kitchen, and there is an electric kettle for cooking or coffee. The minibar room is filled with various soft drinks. The bathroom has a bathroom with a shower, a bidet, a washbasin, appointed with bath accessories and hairdryer. Works wired internet. Rooms on the upper floors have balconies, more accurately like loggias. Cleaning is made daily and easily change clothes.
Breakfast is included in the price, but in the hotel itself there is a good restaurant, which is not only the guests of La Residence, but also tourists from other hotels and accommodations. The menu is quite diverse, and quite acceptable by price. In addition, in the bar located here, you can quench thirst and try local or imported drinks. And for those who are going to hold a solemn event, with the participation of a larger number of people, there is a banquet and conference room.
I will tell you a little about what the hotel has more and what additional services are provided for guests. As for tourists who came with children. For convenience during the power, the restaurant serves a special children's chair. In the room you can install an additional crib. If necessary, for an additional fee, you can use the nanny service. Also in the hotel itself there is a games room and a children's mini club. But the only disadvantage in this situation may be the fact that the staff speaks only in French and English (mass visits to Senegal and in particular Saint-Louis, there are no tourists from Russia yet, therefore the Russian-speaking staff is absent). To exchange currency, search in the district of the bank, there is no need, since the reception can be changed the necessary amount. Yes, and the ATM is located near, so you will not have any problems with the financial issue.
For a wider view of the surroundings and the city itself, you can use bicycle and scooter rental, and if you need a car, the hotel staff will help them in this matter.
This is the overall picture of this hotel, about other trifles, for example, as a safe or storage and other camera, I did not write. Let it be a small surprise for those who decide to settle in Hotel La Residence 3 *. I just say that for such a category and prices (about forty euros per person), quite a suitable option.
Now I will tell you another hotel, which is located on the sandy spit, almost on the beach Saint Louis Beach.,
which is washed by the water of the Atlantic Ocean. Speech will go about threehow Hotel Mermoz..
It is not even similar to the hotel, in our habitual sense, since its forty-four rooms are located in one-story buildings scattered through the territory resembling bungalows covered with thick vegetation and flowers.
Despite its, at first glance, the unructive outdoor, the rooms are pretty comfortable and comfortable.
All are equipped with air conditioning, televisions with satellite channels, not chic, but a decent shower room.
The territory is drowning in the greenery, which is radically changing the idea of hot and desert Africa.
There are several types of numbers, both in comfort and the number of living. Windows, depending on the location of buildings, overlook the ocean or garden.
The food is carried out in a restaurant running at the hotel, and the bar has a large selection of drinks, both soft and alcoholic, local and imported production. It should be added that the morning breakfast is included in the price.
On the territory there is a beautiful pool around which lounge chairs and umbrellas are placed for a comfortable stay.
We arrived with the children, for an additional fee, can provide a nanny that will give you the opportunity for some time to rest carelessly with alone, or visit the wellness spa, which offers a full range of services of a cosmetology and recreation character.
As for the cost of living, it is even lower than in the previously described (if we talk about the standard room).
For sports or extreme lovers, various events are organized. For example horse riding,
Traveling on sand dunes on quadciccles,
as well as a variety of water sports. So it will not have to miss anyone, anyone will find a lesson for himself. And do not forget that Saint Louis attracts not only a beach holiday, and the sights surrounding it for which the main mass of tourists from different parts of the world come to this city.
As I said at the very beginning of this story, the choice of hotels in St. Louis is quite large and varied, but in any of them you will need at least elementary knowledge of foreign languages (French or English). Square your attention only on these two hotels described above should not, there are more attractive options. The essence of the said is that you approximately receive an idea of which accommodation options can be at this resort. And then you can guide your preferences and financial capabilities.
You can choose and book a hotel on one of numerous sites, at the moment it is not completely difficult. And I can only wish you a happy path and a pleasant stay.
