Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
They had to change me rooms several times, #1, the electricity was not working, #2 was way too small (I had paid for an upgrade) and barely any water, #3 was decent, yet door was difficult to lock. Even though the property is quaint, it's really run down, breakfast is bad (don't waste the 6000cfa for it). The worse part of it all is lack of security. I never felt safe. The night before i left, I noticed my car was damaged significantly, through no fault of the guard (per him). I have never had an accident nor has anyone hit me while here in Senegal, yet the guard insisted I was a liar and that nothing happened to my car and that I arrived with this (a lie of course, it was at the garage for routine maintenance 5 hours before I arrived). My car will take a lot of money to fix, but this hotel refused to do anything, instead, insisted I was a liar, I was yelled at and I was told I could afford it. This was the worse stay I ever had. Stay clear of this place!!

Good hotel
This is a nice hotel and the best option if you want access to a pool in SL. The pool was closed when we were there…I would have stayed at Siki (where I have been many times in the past) if I had known. All of the staff were kind of lovely. The hotel is tired but has a fascinating history and a nice interior courtyard. The location is convenient but also a target for dudes trying to sell you stuff.

Hotel de la Poste is full of history and charm. The rooms, however, are not: they are simply old and tired. It was great to be right next to the historic Pont Federhbe, though this also means a lot of noise. It's a trade-off. Keep in mind that to access the (also very tired) pool, one has to walk down the street. The food and rooms at this hotel are highly overpriced for what is offered. On a positive note: the staff are very welcoming and friendly, and seem constantly to be cleaning!

Perfect St Louis Hotel
Awesome hotel in the historic part of St Louis. It's conveniently located near the bridge and is walkable to the whole island. The decor is all from the days of the French West African mail routes and you can definitely feel the history. There's a good restaurant and bar plus a pool owned by the hotel situated across the street on a prominad overlooking the river. Highly recommend!

Terrible hotel, staff lied about why we couldn't have the room requested and confirmed, terrible hotel environment, with the constant, aggressive harassment by men right outside the hotel and in the restaurant. Parking was right in front, and people were sitting on and looking into my car windows. 'Security' and staff didn't care, especially about the constant, aggressive harassment- men demanding money for 'washing' my car or watching over it day after day, when I told them to stay away and stop messing with it. Ironic that my car was scratched after telling the guy to stop harassing me constantly. Super stressful stay and dangerous environment, ruined weekend.

Hotel de la Poste charming and friendly
The Hotel de la Poste is a charming hotel famous as the hangout of the first transatlantic aviators of the 1930s. It is well located at the foot of historic Faidherbe Bridge in Saint-Louis of Senegal. The room was clean and comfortable, with A/C, but brong your own shampoo as they didn't provide any. We did not eat their breakfast. The restaurant was closed and they used a related one on the river across the street, where the locale (and the hotel's pool) was great but the service was disappointing. Saint Louis is charming with New Orleans style architecture though much of it is crumbling, and there are a number of good places to eat. Fresh fish thanks to the teeming fishing town just across from the isle, also worth visiting. There is an active nightlife, but shows start late.

Pretty, good location
A pretty hotel in a very good location to explore the island part of Saint Louis. The hot water did not work in our room, but staff eventually moved us to a different room where the hot water worked. The bar is expensive and poorly stocked, so maybe take a walk to one of many other restaurants close by instead. The history of the hotel itself and the aeropostale pilots who give it its name are interesting.

Lovely hotel with a strong French theme. Beautiful atrium inside the hotel with plants and trees. Very friendly staff. We arrived early and were given the next available room. However, as this was facing the road (and quite noisy) we asked to move. The hotel staff quickly moved us to a very quiet and peaceful room with a great view of the river Senegal. Good location directly in the centre of St Louis (please note there are poor children in the town).

Ok hotel, a little outdated.
Hotel was nice, room had AC, nice bathroom, but overall hotel is outdated. Breakfast was somewhat expensive for the area. The area is not what it used to be either. Some people wait outside for you to come out and ask you to buy things. Walk too far and it's depressing with trash everywhere and the area.
