This is our choice for the best hotel in town, combining a great location just back from the riverbank, large and pleasant rooms, and great service. There's also something to suit all budgets and the dorms are as close as you'll come to luxury if you're a dorm aficionado.
Here you'll find an over-riding ambience which weds European quality with an air of African tranquillity. The restaurant is outstanding, serving a range of African and European specialties, and it merges into a classy bar. Saturday is pizza night so make sure you book ahead as the delightful 1st-floor terrace groans under the weight of everyone from local aid workers to Peace Corps volunteers. From here you can also catch a glimpse of the bewitching and almost somnambulant tree-lined centre of Ségou. For some the lack of a swimming pool may be a drawback, but every room has satellite TV and every staff member wears a welcoming smile.
