Well-signed on the road to Nouâdhibou. Dorms and rooms are plain, but func-
tional, and shared bathrooms are kept in good nick. Other pluses are the outdoor areas, a
kitchen for guests' use and a rooftop terrace.

A centrally located and perennially popular
haunt for backpackers and overlanders, the laidback Menata is a decent option. Good

Run by the same people as the Auberge Menata, this is a lovely
maison d'hôtes
(B&B). It's charmingly decorated and the garden has its own restaurant. Deservedly popu-
lar.

Al-
though it's on the main drag, this
auberge
(small hotel) is surprisingly peaceful and there's
a pleasant leafy garden at the front, ideal for breakfast - the front of the hotel has been
converted into the great (and fuschia-pink) Bla Bla Thé cafe. Rooms (all with bathrooms)
are good value for the price tag.
