This was my 3rd trip to Niamey and on previous visits I have stayed in the Grand hotel which is a truly miserable experience, so I read the reviews on this hotel with a bit of trepidation. However I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel is a bit dated and worn, but the rooms and bedding are clean, the restaurant was... More

The Hotel Gaweye is a fire trap waiting to become a disaster. I observed an exit door chained and locked, a combustible ceiling covering in the restaurant, stairway doors open or missing, smoking allowed everywhere, no smoke or fire detection of any type, no fire alarms. In addition,the hotel is within the one part of Niamey that is off-limits to... More

stayed both at the Gaweye and the Grand this trip. Never had "hot" water. Usually warm was best. Never had to mix cold water to cool it down. Smokey meat was good and beer was cold. Carpets were worn and stained. Staff was friendly and professional. Toss up between here and the grand. Great internet access though.

I would not recommend the hotel, I stayed there for 5 nights and was barely satisfied. The hotel may have a problem with roaches. My first room had several small ones, I changed my room but found the same problem there. The interiors including the elevators, the walls and the carpets are old, smelly and moldy. It needs serious renovation... More

The Hotel Gaweye can only be rated 'Poor'. the Hotel is old, carpets torn - dirty - moldy. The doors to the rooms need to be pushed with your body to open. My door had obviously been kicked in previously. It took great effort to close and lock. The air conditioning just rattled, i could make the bed better than... More

Needs refurbishment, smelly (dangerous) elevators, dirty pillows, a part from that; good service, clean rooms, quite expensive for what you are getting but overall not bad.

Stayed there for one week. It's a decent hotel with friendly staff. Seems to have been the best in Niamey but now it's decaying. Rooms are nice and clean. Cannot say the same of the restaurante tables. There's not a lot of choice at the menu, instead I advise to go to the Grand hotel, specially at dinner, try the... More

Good hotel, very clean, but rather expensive for the service it really offers. Staff is friendly, as almost everywhere in Niger, but extra services as breakfast or dinner are not worth the money you pay for. As far as I know, better options are the Grand Hotel (yet rather expensive) and the Hotel Terminus. The Gaweye is OK if you... More
