Hotel Bouctou and other Timbuktu, Mali Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

Timbuktu hasn't got a lot of hotels to choose, in spite of its legendary name amongst travellers. One of the best medium-range places is the Bouctou Hotel, in the limits of the desert. They have 2 buildings, well decorated tough simple including breakfast, and the staff is really friendly. They can organise trips with the touaregs and trips to the Niger river villages too.
About 20 euros for a room with fan.

This is one of the most popular medium range hotels here. Most groups come here and it's got a good reputation. Nevertheless, I didn't sleep here, and my only experience was at the restaurant. I tied to have lunch here once. Came in, it was empty, so I ordered a salade and a couscous. plus a water bottle. The waiter brought me the bottle of water and I kept waiting for the salade about 40-50 minuts. After that, I tried to look for a waiter to complain, but there was no sign of anyone in the restaurant. Fed up of this situation I went downstairs, paid my bottle of water in reception and moved to another restaurant, where I had a normal lunch.

Unique Qualities: There are 2 buildings, not far from one another, Colombe 1 and Colombe 2.
