Niamey

Four-star hotel - great view, older but decent conveniences hot water, semi-functional central air-con. Don't walk near the ravine that runs near there to the center of town - renown for banditry. Great swimming pool and high speed internet.

4 star hotel with Swimming pool and a central location.

A small homey place near the Grand Hotel. They even have dorms for budget travelers. 5000F or less per night. The owner Natalie is French/Canadian and is very nice. The rooms vary in price depending if you want A/C or a private room, but all are very affordable.

Villa Chinois

Very cheap government lodging that is open to guests as long as the government is not using it for a training

Hotel Les Roniers

Traditional cottages with thatched roofs, though a great deal more upscale than the locals residences set in a pretty garden, with a good restaurant and a hip pool with loads of atmosphere during the evening.

Air conditioned rooms with showers, and several bungalows right on the river, with great views. Some rooms have been renovated recently. It's not the safest of neighbourhoods though.

Hotel Masaki

Nice rooms, good music some nights, and great bar food. Run by a French guy and his Nigerien wife. Attached gallery also has some interesting art on occasion

Hotel Maourey

Centrally located at Rond Point Maourey, this hotel has aircon, running water a nice terrace a worn down look and prostitutes lingering in the lobby, Still one of the better mid-range options.
