Lonely Planet Review

The cheapest rooms have a dark, corridor vibe, but the better ones are spacious and relaxing and awash in woodcarvings and cushioned sofas that seem to grow out from the walls. The mosquito nets on the beds are also something you'll appreciate. Everything about this place is highly original; the overall aesthetic beautifully evokes the sense of being in the home of an African village chief, while showcasing the sophistication of West African high culture. The decorative flourishes overflow into the public areas. Le Djennés location is also an essential part of the experience, being one that is strongly rooted in local culture. The surrounding streets offer countless vignettes of African street life.
