Grand Hôtel de France

The best budget option in the city, this colonial-era hotel next to the Marché Centrale has welcoming, English-speaking staff and a faded but endearing 1930s elegance. Rooms are airy, high-ceilinged and light; the best overlook the leafy and tranquil inner courtyard. The cheapest single-room rate doesn't include air-con, breakfast or showers (2DT); the cheapest double rate is without air-con.
