Hotel staff has given a different room not the same room as shown at the time of booking. When we asked him to change they asked us to pay more for the room. Another issue is, they have not given room tariff bill for the booking.

Disappointing stay

I found new cockroaches every day in my room. The service cleaning the room was very lackluster. Some days I didn’t receive new towels until the evening (but they took the dirty towels in the morning). Tissues and toilet paper weren’t replaced / replenished until 2 days later sometimes.

À éviter.

Chambre abimée et pas hyper propre (il ne faut pas mettre un tapis s'il n'est jamais nettoyé comme il faut). Mauvaise odeur dans la douche, vitre très sale, pas d'attention aux détails. Stock épuisé de pratiquement tous pendant notre séjour (pratiquement pas de boissons, même pas des infusions), pareil pour les sandwiches, les desserts etc. Pas de carte, seulement des suggestions du Chef, avec deux plats. Pendant trois jours on me dit qu'on m'emmènera un fer à repasser, pour finalement avouer qu'il n'y en a pas. On m'a dit que c'était impossible d'aller au marché à 200 m pour acheter des citrons... Un séjour un peu surréaliste et très décevant pour un hôtel se disant 4 étoiles avec des tarifs correspondants. Un retour n'est pas prévu.

I only chose this property for the Azalai name & reputation and the hotel’s free airport shuttle. Since all flights seem to leave Nouakchott in the middle of the night, it was sickening to be told on checking on that there was no shuttle available and any taxi would be at my own expense. Also, tissue box was empty in room and there were no towels whatsoever.

By any standard, this is an awesome hotel. From the moment you enter the hotel the staff do everything they can to be helpful, even pamper you. The food at the restaurant is absolutely delicious and the free airport shuttle is greatly appreciated.
