Tamana

Bamako

Hotel options at a decent price are few and far between in Bamako.  This one works.

The hotel is in the entertainment district with plenty of food and drink options within a few minutes walk.

Rooms are in a series of courtyards above the main restaurant/pool/reception courtyard in a secure location.  No grumbles at my arrival around 2am with a taxi from the airport sorted.

Basic rooms with nice firm beds, strong hot water, good WiFi and reasonable air conditioning.

The pool is nice on hot sunny days (most of them!).  Basic breakfast included.  I didn’t use the restaurant: prices looked reasonable.  Beers were half the price in the shop across the street.

About an hour’s walk or a 20 minute taxi into the centre of town.

Good option

The Tamana hotel, near the Hippodrome in Bamako, has been conceived with the intention of creating a whole-African atmosphere. The center piece of the hotel is a garden where the customers can enjoy the shadow of big trees, the freshness of a waterpool and the charm of well-chosen African-style furniture, art works and decorations. Nicholas, the courteous director of the hotel, is running the hotel very well. 
During my stay, from 10 to 19 March 2019, I often  made use of the restaurant of the hotel, not only for breakfast (comprised in the room price), but also for lunch and dinner. Mostly, too much personnel seemed at work for too little customers. In the evening, mosquitoes could be annoying companians. 
Tamana hotel is a bit far from the city center. However, restaurants, a bakery, an ice shop, bars and night clubs are at walking distance. Taxis can easily be halted (1,500 francs to the center) along the Bla Bla road.

A fairy tale with some  imperfections

Some colleagues opted to stay at the Hotel Tamana and it seems that the rooms are fine. However, I was booked elsewhere only joining them for lunch on three occasions. The food was okay, nothing special, served on a little terrace under a big tree next to a small pool. I ate "brochettes" and my colleagues enjoyed salads. We drank a tasty ginger concoction. Service was very slow.

Bamako seems safe place

Tamana, a few km away from the city center is in a residential area. That its located right next to main road means that there is a lot of vehicular traffic going by spoiling the serenity of the place.

Service is reasonable, rooms are specious and though lacking a few things, comfortable. The pros 1st: Comfortable bed, a very good AC, good water pressure and hot. The cons: There is no door to the bathroom, just a curtain and no lights. The AC, in room #18 is loud, but effective. No fan.

Its proximity to a couple of restaurants make it convenient if you don't have your own transport. Breakfast was good, looked very nice when served. Its proximity to Bamako night life means though that there is quite a bit of noise between 4 and 5am!

Would certainty use this again as a base.

Comfortable and convinient

This small hotel, was a pleasant surprise in Bamako, Mali.  It has the atmosphere of a boutique hotel, with a beautiful courtyard, swimming pool and a nice reception area/breakfast room.

Our room was generously large, with a nice bathroom.  The whole hotel seemed clean and well looked after.  The A/C worked well and the patio bar was a real treat.  The only drawback I can find is the swimming pool has no shallow area, it is all nearly 2m in depth, so probably not suitable for children unless they are closely supervised.

The included breakfast was French bread, jam & butter, coffee or tea; promptly served and no limits on the brewed coffee or baguettes.

There are several nice restaurants along the street.  Night clubs in the area are pretty noisy and seem to run practically all night, so a room on the back side away from the street is best.
