Far enough from the city centre to feel like you're getting away from it all, and close enough to feel the heat, this comfortable, friendly place on the coast is great value. You can get a large,…

This is excellent value for money - a place exuding luxury and comfort for more than reasonable rates. There are plenty of activities on offer, both for adults and children.

The scrubbed white facade with its black-iron balcony and the wood-panelled lobby promise historical charm. The rooms don't quite live up to this charm, but are still good value.

This place is pretty good, but the air-con is not always up to cooling the large rooms. All rooms have a bathroom. The nautically flavoured bar is the focal point of well-to-do St-Louisian nightl…

This pretty auberge west of town was worryingly empty when we visited - despite its good-value rooms, very clean shared toilets and a mango-tree garden with ready hammocks.

This basic auberge near Relais de Santhiaba has spartan rooms set in a leafy garden. Several comfy chill-out spaces (including a sofa-TV combination) make it sure to appeal to young travellers, a…

An unspectacular place in the heart of the city, this isn't too bad for the price you pay, though it would be better if it were a touch cleaner.

What started as a restaurant has expanded into this auberge (small hotel). Rooms in the historic building are enormous, but suffer slightly from neglect. The patio is a fine place to relax.

In Senegal, auberge often refers to something extremely basic. Though not exactly a glossy address, this one is nicer than many of its namesakes. Rooms have TV and hot water, and there's free Int…

This small but colourfully decorated place near the north end of the island has a real family feel and it is way off the tourist path. The rooms are basic, with shared bathrooms.

This place is ageing a little but still retains some of its lustre. Ask for room 103 - the only one with a terrace. The bar, restaurant and disco downstairs offer plenty of nightlife within minim…
