Das Eigentum — Anna
The Hotel Anna is a no-frills three-star in the centre of Ouagadougou, with a small courtyard pool and a terrace bar that catches the evening breeze. Rooms are basic but clean, and the staff are pragmatic rather than polished — expect a key from reception and a quiet night. It suits budget-conscious travellers or stopover visitors who want a central base without pretending to be on safari. Standing in the lobby feels like a functional crossroads: garish sofas, ceiling fan turning, and the reliable hum of a city hostelry that serves its purpose without fuss.
Chroniken von Ouagadougou
Ouagadougou grew from a 15th-century Mossi village into the seat of the Mossi emperors by the 18th century. French colonial administration rebuilt the centre with wide boulevards and low-rise administrative blocks after 1919, but the city retains its grid of dusty laterite streets. Independence in 1960 brought grand state buildings along Avenue Kwame Nkrumah, though the skyline remains dominated by the Great Mosque and the National Museum. Today it’s a cultural hub best known for the biennial Panafrican Film and Television Festival (FESPACO) and a relaxed urban pulse that blends French patisseries with grilled brochettes sold in the evening.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Ouagadougou-Guide →Die besten Monate
November and February: dry season with daytime highs around 32°C and cool nights, plus low humidity. These months avoid the dust and heat of March–May and the rains of July–August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the heart of the wet season, not a tourist peak. The only notable crowd driver is the FESPACO festival (odd-numbered years in late February/early March) which fills hotels and doubles rates. For July 2026, expect low occupancy and negotiable prices.
Budget Schulter Saison
May and October: May has extreme heat (40°C+) but very low rates; October offers humidity dropping off, sporadic showers, and empty hotels with 30–40% off dry-season prices.
Wetter & Verpackung
Ouagadougou’s climate is tropical wet-and-dry: July afternoons often bring sudden heavy thunderstorms that flood unpaved roads. Pack a lightweight rain jacket and waterproof footwear, plus a headlamp for power cuts during storms.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Ouagadougou
- The city has been extending its bus rapid transit (BRT) line along Boulevard Charles de Gaulle, with partial road closures and rerouting of taxis expected through mid-2026 — allow extra time for transfers.
- Ouagadougou International Airport completed a new terminal in 2024, handling more direct flights from Paris and Casablanca; check for recent flight schedule changes.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anna, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor at the back of the building (courtyard side) to avoid street noise and get better air circulation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor facing the street – they pick up dust, exhaust fumes, and noise from motorbikes and late-night street activity.
Best views
Rooms at the back overlook the courtyard or neighbouring compound walls – not a scenic view, but quieter and more private.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 are generally quietest because they sit above the ground-floor lobby and any street-level commotion.
🔊 Noise notes
Street-facing rooms catch the sound of mopeds, radios, and occasional street vendors. The property is in an urban area of Ouagadougou, so expect some ambient city noise.
Insider tips
1. Arrive early in the day (before 2pm) to request a back-facing room; the front desk may be flexible. 2. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper – the hotel doesn't have double-glazing, and early morning call-to-prayer can be heard.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
