Before you check in to MINOUNGOU’S FAMILY, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the service entrance or the lift, as they may be noisier due to foot traffic.

🪟

Best views

😴

Quietest floors

The 3rd floor and above are likely to be quieter.

🔊 Noise notes

Street noise is a consideration due to the hotel's location in the city. However, the floors with a lift and the inner courtyard may help mitigate this issue.

Insider tips

Getting Around

🚕
Shared Taxi (Woro-Woro) 150 CFA per person per trip

Hotel Zamdogo → Centre-ville (city centre)

10 min · Constant - flag down on main roads · Roughly 06:00 to 21:00, scarce after dark

💡 These are the blue-and-white collective taxis along Avenue Kwame Nkrumah. Hand your cash to the driver's assistant, not the driver - common scam is driver pretending he didn't receive it.

🚌
Ouaga Bus (SOTRACO) 200 CFA

Hotel Zamdogo (stop near Hôtel de Ville) → Gare Routière (main bus station)

25 min · Every 30 minutes on weekdays, less frequent weekends · 06:00 - 19:30

💡 Buses are overcrowded and have no AC. Try boarding at the terminus (near the Grand Marché) for a seat. SOTRACO route 1 runs closest to Hotel Zamdogo.

🚕
Airport Taxi 3500 CFA (reliable fixed rate)

Ouagadougou International Airport (OUA) → Hotel Zamdogo (Avenue Kwame Nkrumah)

15 min · On arrival - taxis wait outside arrivals · 24 hours with negotiable night surcharge

💡 Agree the price before getting in. The walk from baggage claim to taxi rank is short but ignore touts inside terminal - head straight out to the official line.

🚕
Hotel Zamdogo's Private Transfer 5000 CFA per hour

Hotel Zamdogo → Any city destination (pre-arranged)

💡 Use this for early airport departures - the hotel driver will wait inside while you check out. Saves haggling and the car is reliable. Tips not required but 500 CFA is polite.
