Radisson Blu Hotel, Bamako

It was COVID time so for sure you will not see the best reviews but here is mine . At time of arrival , we were a group of 6 people. Not a lot of staff to help us but it was fine. Elevators are very tiny so we could only get in 2 or 3 people at a time. We made it to our room . The rooms were nice but could certainly get some update. Rooms were clean ( I said clean not extraordinary clean). Staff were present but not sure what they were doing as we don't really see them except for front desk . Staff were not always in uniform so security wise we did not know who was who . When cleaning the room it was done quickly not effectively. Hot water was not constant. The lobby was nice . There was a restaurant but very empty . Food was very good but you would have to wait a very long time before you could eat. It was almost faster to order out . Then again keep in mind that it was covid time and services were low quality. Pool area was well maintained but not the best . Gym was out of service and nothing was being done to fix that. Parking area was very small for a big Hotel like that . Lots of security which was very awesome ( keep in mind there was a terrorist attack a few years back so they pumped up the security ) . The staff members were very nice and courteous , same for security. Stayed there for 10 days . We went to the store near by and bring everything to our room. Overall it was a good quiet stay but the hotel definitely needs an upgrade and does not compare to the other Radisson Blu Hotels in Africa. Hope this helps .
