It’s a great place to stay. The owner Sebastian is knowledgeable and helpful. Mamadou is in charge of security. He is always in the hostel, and will help you. The set up of the rooms are quite simple, bathrooms clean. There a plenty of grocery stores nearby.

I think it’s the only hostel in the city (owned by a French person). I like it. The receptionist (a Mauritanian) who lives there sleeps on a bench in the garden. If I were the owner, I would give him proper accommodation and a decent bed. Overall, the rooms are fine and appreciate the mosquito net. The bathrooms are clean and with hot water. As an Italian, I really appreciated the Nutella for breakfast
