Jamm

We stayed here 3 nights. it is an oasis of calm and beauty in what could be a chaotic town. The owner, Yves, speaks English, but he is French. he is what makes the place so good. there are only 4 rooms, and breakfast is taken on a great long table in the courtyard. excellent fresh baguette croissants, fruit juices, a big cheese platter, yogurt... at 19.00 Yves invités the guests to a pre dinner apéro. this is very nice, though optional of couse. you can stay for 1/2 hour and get tips of what to do with your time in Saint Louis. everything here is walkable. there are horse carriage tours that take you to every part of the island and to the fishing village next to it. an eye opening and recommended experience. also there are shops and galleries. The Jamm Maison d'hôtes or guesthouse is truly that. guests feel welcome. the building dates to about 1850 and has been lovingly restored by the owner and decorated with African art throughout. Could not recommend it more warmly.

This is the best place to stay in Saint Louis! The inn has been beautifully restored and has all the comforts you need including wifi and an excellent air conditioner. The owner, Yves, is the most gracious host, offering a delicious breakfast and a lovely evening drink with snacks. The location is also very central. You can easily book tours of the city or the nearby nature areas at the local tourism office when you arrive in St Louis . I highly recommend Jamm!

We spent 4 nights here. The hotel is well situated, comfortable, and has a lot of character. Filled with interesting books and arts. What really makes this a great place is the host Yves. We have lived in Africa for many years and are well traveled in Asia and Latin America as well. Yves is one of the very best hosts we have ever had. Pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and interacts with his guests each evening. Superb.
