This northwestern African nation is a land of desolate beauty. Three quarters of the country is desert, contrasted by the North Atlantic Ocean to the west. Add to that a spectacular abundance of dunes and birdlife and you’ve got an authentic taste of African scenery. For the most stunning sights of the Sahara, head for the Adrar massif in the north. The rocky terrain and narrow canyons are ideal for a 4x4 excursion. Be sure to take in the millenia-old architecture of Chinguetti and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ouadane along the way. Home to millions of migrating birds, the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin can be found along much of the central coastline. The World Heritage-listed park is best explored by boat with a local guide. A wide range of accommodation types are available, with hotels found in the capital Nouakchott and other cities of Atar, Nouadhibou and Chinguetti.

Guest review
My four friends and I rode the iron ore train and wanted a place that was both comfortable and had good amenities. This place delivered on all fronts. The staff even upgraded me to a suite!! Which was very nice of them. The breakfast is awesome and the staff were very helpful in arranging transport back to Nouakchott. The hotel owner drove us to the bus station and made sure we got on the correct bus. Cant recommend this place enough!

Guest review
This is a very nice small hotel.
Everything was clean and tidy, very well taken care of.
Very good breakfast.
The staff was very helpful and flexible.
Thanx for the cleaner ladies to keep everything in good order.
So many channels in the TV - 700 or so!!
WiFi working very well reliably!
As my flight was quite late, they let me stay in the room longer for a small fee.
My number one choice, when visiting Nouakchott again!

HOTEL LE BON CHOIX features accommodation in Nouadhibou. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.
Guest review
This is probably the best option in Nouadhibou, where accommodation is quite expensive. It's centrally located on a nice broad street, next to a supermarket and lots of places to eat. The room was very clean and comfortable. Wifi, showers and breakfast are all good.
What made it really exceptional though was how incredibly helpful and nice the staff were. I arrived needing cash and a bus ticket, and the manager drove me around town to get both, without even being asked, as if it was no trouble at all. I would honestly have been lost without him!
