Bir Anzarane - Dakhla = a road, should be completely sealed by now (was at least 75% in 2013)
Bir Anzarane - Awsard = an easy to follow piste.
Don't know the distances by heart but it should be a bit nearer to go to Dakhla direction.
Consult the Gandini guide on the area, an excellent resource for pistes, distances and POI.
Bir Anzarane is a reliable well with potable water. We drank it many times, it can taste a little salty if the season is dry, but always drinkable.
Cafe-hotel - haven't spotted such a thing, than again I was just passing the site a few times in spring 2014. Definitely no such thing in 2013 when I stayed in the base for a few days. Wouldn't count on it, have seen cafes and even small markets in other bases that were happily opened on one occasion but after two months when I passed by again there was no trace of them left.
But as I said, things are changing, sometimes rapidly, and it would be beneficial for all the overlanding community if you report on your findings and situation when you come back.
