Hotel Al Salam Resort

Drecksbude. Dreckiges Bett, kein Kühlschrank, Farbe fällt von den Wänden, Kellergeruch im Hotel, Schwimmbad kostet extra Gebühr, nichts anderes in der Nähe.

Do make sure you confirm your reservation with the hotel. I had to send to send a friend to the hotel to physically confirm my reservation before I arrived in Mauritania. Do expect check in to take anywhere from two to five hours. We waited an hour and a half for checkin because electricity was down. We found many families who have been waiting for hours for check in. Electricity and internet went down more than three times when we were at the hotel for a week’s stay. Do not expect good customer service, the staff are poorly trained and unprofessional. The hotel is on a beautiful beach, but the beach and the hotel’s own front yard are littered with plastic and garbage. The rooms are beautiful and clean, with massive closets and decent restrooms. However, the water sometimes goes off, there is hardly any hot water, and the water pressure is very weak. There are massive cockroaches and bugs that sometimes make their way into the hotel. The pool is sometimes filled with floating dead bugs and creatures. All in all, it’s a hotel with great potential. They have the facilities to be great. They just aren’t managed well.

Power was out

Hôtel juste correct pour le prix. Propre et calme. Satisfaisant pour 1 ou 2 nuitées.

I booked this hotel primarily for the pool, which from the algea growth hasn't functioned in weeks if not months. There is no spa as advertised. My rooms had a collection of interesting bugs in it, which was a delight. After breakfast the hotel last power, so no AC to running water no flushing toilets etc. I waited patiently for 8 hours for things to be fixed. I then had to leave due to sanitary concerns. I asked to be refunded one night and the hotel refused. The location is also very inconvenient.
