A peaceful, small, boutique hotel. This is a really great place to stay in Bamako. It is right on the banks of the river, so the view is pretty great. The staff are extremely friendly. Although the location in Bamako itself is in a lovely area, there is also very good security - they check everyone before allowing entry e.g.... More

I stayed at Villa Soudan for work in July 2012, and while the room ran me about $100/night and you can easily spend $30 on a meal, the ambiance of the hotel, the attentiveness of the staff, and the quality of the rooms and facilities was very nice. There is laundry, a full bar and restaurant, several other restaurants within... More

Rooms are spacious with AC, ceiling fan and mosquito nets (even if... More

During an evening meal at this hotel during the third night of our visit, we were fortunate enough to find this gem of a hotel on the banks of the Niger river. Unfortunately, we were not able to move to this hotel for some time because of no vacancy. Eventually we able to finish our last week at this hotel... More

Super friendly staff, stunning view of the Niger, great pool to cool down after a day in the Malinese sun and a location that is nicely tugged away from the BKO buzz: The only drawback is that it's a bit far from the city center and it's hard to get a taxi in evenings. We'll recommend it to everyone visiting... More

A great little guest house on a fairly quiet road running alongside the far bank of the River Niger. I like the fact that it was extremely close to where I was working each day (a word to the wise: if there for business be sure to stay on the same side of the Niger as your work venue). Villa...

My colleagues and I had the pleasure of staying at the recently opened (3 months prior) Villa Soudan during a business trip to Mali. Having traveled to various parts of Mali during this trip I can honestly say that this 12-room hotel was a pleasure to return to following a busy day of navigating the overcrowded streets of Bamako.
