This
review
is
primarily
aimed
at
the
guests
of
tour
companies.
I
stayed
at
this
hotel
for
3
nights
while
on
a
tour
and
at
least
1
other
company
stayed
in
this
hotel
so
it
appears
to
be
common
for
tours
to
stay
here..
Bottom
line,
ask
your
tour
company
to
choose
a
different
hotel.
Let
me
list
the
reasons.
1.
The
"restaurant"
did
not
have
90%
of
the
food
on
the
menu.
This
is
not
due
to
shortages
in
Nouakchot
as
there
is
plenty
in
the
stores.
One
meal
they
claimed
only
to
have
chicken
and
rice
and
chiken
tacos
of
their
4
page
menu.
2.
When
they
do
have
food
the
quality
is
very
erratic.
Their
"chicken
taco",
something
they
consistently
had,
appears
to
be
any
leftovers
they
have
lying
around,
but
it
was
primarily
french
fries
in
side
a
wrap
with
a
little
chicken
on
the
edge
when
I
had
it.
For
breakfast
you
can
order
eggs
to
go
with
the
basic
other
food
they
give
you,
but
only
how
they
want
to
make
them.
One
day
it
was
a
plain
omlet,
the
next
it
was
a
boiled
egg.
You
had
no
choice
in
the
matter
3.
The
food
takes
a
long
time.
It
took
over
1
hour
for
lunch
and
we
were
the
only
table
of
6
3.
They
charge
western
prices.
Washing
was
$25USD
for
3
t
shirts
and
1
travel
pants
and
they
managed
to
lose
an
item
in
the
process
and
claimed
I
must
have
lost
it
and
were
not
willing
to
reimburse
me.
4.
The
rooms
are
very
inconsistent.
1
of
3
rooms
was
actually
decent
while
the
other
2
were
not
great,
terrible
AC
(blew
hot
air
only),
bad
beds.
So
if
you
do
stay
here
and
there
is
an
issue,
complain.
The
shower
was
good
in
1
of
3
rooms.
All
3
rooms
were
decent
size.
5.
The
location
is
terrible.
It's
in
the
middle
of
dozens
of
cell
phone
stores.
Convenience
stores
and
restaurants
are
not
close
by.
and
at
least
15
min
walk
or
taxi
6.
They
have
the
audacity
to
charge
$15
for
water
in
the
room
when
a
store
costs
<
$1.
On
that
matter
the
rooms
are
meant
to
come
with
2
bottle
of
water,
they
never
did
you
always
had
to
go
to
reception
and
then
they
would
send
it
to
yoru
room.
Sometimes
they
gave
250ml
bottles
and
other
times
750ml,
Again
it
was
random.
6.
The
staff
say
they
will
do
something
and
then
promptly
do
nothing
7.
While
we
were
waiting
for
our
food
it
appeared
that
a
staff
member
was
watching
adult
content
on
his
phone
(accidentally
he
had
the
sound
on
full
volume
when
it
started
to
stream).
On
the
positive
side.
There
was
a
gym
that
had
good
AC
and
you
could
get
a
work
out,
the
view
was
interesting,
walking
around
the
area
once
you
got
past
the
cell
phones
was
vibrant
(but
interesting
for
1
night
not
3)
Now
before
you
think
this
is
Nouakchott
give
it
a
break,
think
again.
A
mere
2-3
Km
away
on
the
main
road
towards
the
airport
there
are
lots
of
great
looking
restaurants
and
convienece
stores
with
nearby
hotels.
If
you
are
here
to
see
and
experience
"Mauritania",
trust
me
you
will
get
that
when
you
travel
to
the
desert.
This
hotel
is
overpriced,
under
serviced
and
the
last
thing
you
need
before
or
after
your
adventure
to
the
desert.
Ask
your
tour
operator
for
a
different
hotel
before
you
even
arrive
the
price
difference,
if
any,
will
be
negliable
when
added
to
the
totla
tour
price.
