Hotel in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Le Pavillon Vert
Budget hotel with green courtyard providing shade and pleasant outdoor space. Clean rooms with essential amenities at economical rates.
Le Pavillon Vert is a budget-category hotel situated on Avenue Kwame N'Krumah in central Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The property takes its name from the green courtyard that forms its centrepiece — a shaded outdoor space that provides welcome relief from the heat of the Sahelian capital and sets it apart from more basic budget alternatives in the immediate area.
Avenue Kwame N'Krumah is one of Ouagadougou's historically significant streets, named in honour of the pan-African leader and Ghanaian statesman Kwame Nkrumah. The avenue runs through the heart of the city, connecting the central commercial zones and placing the hotel within easy reach of the Marché de Rood Woko, government offices, and several cultural and religious landmarks. Proximity to public transport connections along this avenue facilitates movement around the city by moto-taxi and minibus.
Rooms at Le Pavillon Vert are straightforwardly furnished with the essentials: beds, air conditioning, and private or shared bathroom options depending on the room category. The price point is competitive for a centrally located property, making it a practical choice for budget travellers — backpackers, aid workers, and regional visitors — who need a clean and reliable base without extended amenity requirements.
Wi-Fi is available on the premises, and the hotel provides on-site parking. The green courtyard serves as the hotel's social hub, where guests gather under shade during the evening hours. While Le Pavillon Vert does not operate a formal restaurant, street food and local eateries are numerous on and around Avenue Kwame N'Krumah, with options ranging from brochette vendors to small Burkinabè canteens serving riz sauce and tô at local prices.
The property's location and price-to-quality ratio make it a frequently recommended option for cost-conscious visitors to Ouagadougou. Rates at Le Pavillon Vert typically range from 14,000 to 26,000 CFA francs (XOF) per night.

Tips
- The courtyard is the best place to spend evenings — it is cooler than the rooms and provides a social space shared with other guests.
- Avenue Kwame N'Krumah has some of Ouagadougou's best street-food stalls after dark; exploring east toward the Marché de Rood Woko offers the widest variety.
- Rooms facing the avenue can be noisy during the day; requesting a courtyard-facing room gives a quieter stay.
- Moto-taxis operating from the street outside the hotel are the fastest and cheapest way to move around central Ouagadougou — agree the fare before boarding.
- The dry harmattan season (November–February) brings dusty winds from the Sahara; packing a scarf or face covering is advisable for outdoor activity during this period.
