We stayed 1 night in the bungalow and 2 nights in the triple room. Try the bungalow, very nice. The place itself wasn't easy to find, taxi driver asked 4-5times (it usually happens in Africa) until we finally made it there. The owner is very kind. I really respect genuine people who are doing what they like, and she is... More

As a matter of fact I realize now that there was not even a TV in the room! This place is completely different from everything I have seen in West-Africa. Usually hotels in this price range are equipped with a large TV with two channels, a heavily used mattress, and Chinese quality toilet, shower, everything. No, not in Comme Chez... More

Comme chez soi carries its name with full entitlement. The team makes you feel welcome, the rooms are very nicely decorated, the terrasse and garden are fabulous to relax from a day out in the heat and dust. Breakfast was delicious too. Highly recommended! I was in Bamako during the unfortunate March events, and cannot thank Coralie and the entire... More

A great place, a real Oasis, excellent management and staff. The location is excellent, close to a range of restaurants and night clubs. LOvely setting, with trees. Have to be careful about Mosquitoes in the room

I had the unfortunate experience of arriving in Bamako and after getting my visa at the airport, went out to meet my ride at 1 AM and he never showed up. Needless to say, I had no idea where I was supposed to stay or how to get there. I contacted a friend back home and asked her to look... More

I am a resident of Bamako right now but have friends who have stayed at CCS (as the Anglophones refer to it). I do often eat at the restaurant - the best brunch menu in town and an imaginative (as well as solid French standards) menu is what you'll find. Very peaceful surroundings and since it's rooftop dining there's no... More

I came to Bamako during the political stalemate, expecting the usual conflict area/absent tourism choices of extremely poor but seriously expensive places. In Comme Chez Soir, i got the total opposite. This is what I wrote in a note to the manager when I came back to Nairobi: "I now know where the best hotel in Africa is – In... More

I can only agree with majority opinion about this fine hotel. It is a small hotel, that may be initially hard to find but is well enough situated to get to some restaurants, internet cafes by foot. Its has only 6 rooms and a small bungalow that is separate from the main building. The rooms are spotless and well appointed,... More
