Le Meridien Chari, N'Djamena

If you are in Chad, and likely arriving in N'Djamena, you don't have too many options to look for a hotel. The best two, Novotel and La Meridien, are your only options. Just because you are in Africa, don't expect things to be cheap. Single night was $200, adn $400 for a suite. The quality was comparisable to high end LaQuinta or lower Marriot. Breakfest was not too bad, priced at 7000 CFA. Service very helpful, frindly. Don't hang out in a hotel bar unless you want to spend $50+ for two of you for few drinks. They have a nice pool, but not too many swimmers at the time. Most of the time it stays empty, surrouned by millions of bugs that are everywhere in Chad. Overall, overpriced, with good service, using monopolistic technique and decent location to get your money.

it's a fine, fine hotel whit a nice bar and the rooms are very large and the people are very friendly!! if you want to go there you most do it!! bye bye

We were taken to the hotel by Air France when a flight was cancelled. I would never pay these rates for such a place. The towels were scratchy and frayed. The door to the balcony rattled all night. The air conditioner threw handsful of water onto the floor and the furniture. The meals were very ordinary for the prices charged. Drinks prices were exorbitant. In short, an experience to be happily missed any time one is in N'Djamena...
