Good hotel

I was supposed to stay a week and then had to stay another week. A good hotel in a good neighborhood of Bamako, with a coffee shop in walking distance and safe at all times. I liked the room, area and the restaurant. I would stay there again.

A small alternative to Azalai

Very happy. I actually was supposed to be in another hotel, but upon arrival found that hotels.com had rented out a hotel that ceased to exist and they never saw it. I immediately booked into a bord de l'eau.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel it self has a very nice design . Downfall is the kitchen , which is very expensive , without any taste and has very little to no choice . 15 000 for a so called brunch is a ripoff , I won’t talk about the towels , closer to brown than white 😫. But the vue was nice …..

Top in Bamako

Loved the place, the food, the vibe, the front desk and all the staff. The pool is clean, room comfy and great, the atmosphere is quite for either business meetings or for relax time. Price is great for what you get. Also, the view is nice, just in front of the river, bar is nice too with good music selection. I tried other 4 places during my stay in Mali and I rate Au Bord De l'Eau #1. Will be back here when I will come back to Mali.

Bel hôtel avec personnel adorable !

Excellent accueil, personnel agréable, avenant et serviable ! Le petit bémol, c’est cette musique jouée par un orchestre jusqu’à très très tard le soir, et ce, dès ma première nuit ! J’ai eu peur que cela dure à chaque nuit !! Mais finalement, les autres soirs il s’agissait d’une sono moins bruyante … Autre bémol, notamment par rapport à la situation de l’hôtel, il est dommage de traverser toute une misère pour accéder à l’établissement : une très longue allée semée d’embûches et de personne parfois mendiant !
