Hotels In Gabon

Gabon has a relatively sophisticated hospitality infrastructure with a wide selection of hotels, resorts, guesthouses and Auberge across the price spectrum.

Libreville has several high-end brand name hotels with the Laico Okoume Palace Hotel dominating skyline at an nightly rate of over US$200 per night. Next in line is the Novotel Libreville Rapontchomb at US$140 per night.

Fear not, however, there is a good selection of more affordable options in the capital with room with showers under US$20 a night. Also available are long term leases on apartments, guesthouses and a number of smaller Auberges.

Outside the capital the selection is similarly wide, although options at the very cheap end are quite limited. Most national parks cater poorly for backpackers with no camping facilities available. Quite a few of the local Catholic Missions will provide basic but clean accommodation.

Don’t look too hard for hostels, campsites or backpackers lodges. They are very sparse on the ground, and on the whole budget accommodation is to be found only in cheap hotels.
