The hotel is small and makes you feel like your visiting friends. The rooms are a good size and clean. My room had a balcony, and the pool is always a welcome break from the heat of the day. They have a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There's a small bar for the evening cocktail 🍸. Most of the staff speaks English and French. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. 

Dakar, home away from home

Very nice place. The staff is polite and cleans well. They dont speak the best off English, but good enough. Very helpful no mather what you will need. 
Food ok, rooms very nice. Cleans well and nothing to complain about there.
Location is golden. Your close to everything. 
Recommended for a stay for some days.

Good hotel with nice location

Area is ok. Hotel is quite new. Room was big even if towels on the bed with big stains. The area of the breakfast was full of mosquitos. Staff in not enough motivated to make the difference. They follow the line.

So and so

They STEAL money, continously from your account. A month after my stay my account was charged for 4th time, same amount. No o e is interested in helping either. This is a scam operation. Stay anywhere else, please.

Scam hotel! BERWARE!

A lovely, clean, quiet and central residence. Staff were really nice and kind, with super useful tips. The residence is very close to restaurants and has a swimming pool too. Had a relaxing few days and would go back without a doubt if I were to return to Dakar. 

Quiet oasis in the city

Overall, great stay, nice pool, friendly staff, beautiful garden view, tasteful art in common areas, and flexible with services. Highly recommend for comfort and safety esp for solo women travellers. 

Solid good start when landing in Dakar

The room was kept very clean and comfortable. The staff was always polite and helpful. Nice kitchen for breakfast and light dinners. Very good location near many restaurants on the waterfront. Nice to have pool on premises.

Nice rooms, great staff, close to many restaurants

The area is good. Do yourself a favour though, and stay at Yaas Almadies where we stayed on our first night. It's two minutes walk away, on the main road, and not tucked away near a government residence like this one. When we stayed in February 2022, this hotel was quiet as anything, no buzz, no atmosphere. And the management was the worst I've ever encountered should the need arise to speak with them. I contacted them through Booking.com twice, and was basically called "dishonest" for stating the facts - cheers for that. I got my money back from Booking.com, after making a complaint.

I'd like to explain the reasons behind my review. Straight up I want to acknowledge that I booked a family room, but it seems that there was a mix up, and the booking was for 2 adults only which meant that I had to pay extra for my kids. Even though I didn't appreciate it this, this is not the reason for the bad review. The hotel will no doubt respond and tell me how wrong I am, but here is my factual account.
Customer service is appalling - in the last 48 hours I was called "dishonest" and was told that I could "leave a negative review if I want". On the day of check-in, I asked to speak with the manager but was denied this opportunity. I tried again on the second day - still not available for the customer. Not even on the day of check-out, when instead I had to speak to a rude and stand-offish supervisor who basically told me I was wrong. My customer service issue was that even if there was an error and confusion, there was no attempt on the part of the hotel to try and accommodate me. They also lied and said afterwards that they tried to help me find another hotel, believe me if they did I would have taken this chance. So that's the first point - awful management.

Secondly, don't have breakfast here. When my son and I arrived downstairs, the croissants were swarming in flies and mosquitos. When staff saw us arrive, they positioned a fan behind the food to blow the flies away. Who knows how long they had been running rife. I realise it's a hot African country, but this was something else. I was told afterwards that I still had the breakfast - no, we requested coffee with hot boiled water and washed the fruit and had that. Another attempt at the awful management to displace the blame.

Third, WiFi is intermittent, and is a different connection on each floor. It seemed good near the pool, but if you move to the reception you lose it.

Awful management service ... decent rooms, but can't recommend this at all.

For me this must be just about the best all round choice of hotel in Dakar. We started our Senegal tour with 3 nights here and loved it. It is very smart boutique hotel and represents excellent value for money. Rooms are pleasant and well furnished and spotlessly clean. The whole setting is very quiet and peaceful and there is a lovely garden and small pool area, an absolute oasis a manic city. Breakfast is a continental buffet with the option of eggs and was one of the better offerings we experienced. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The location is just 2 minutes walk from the beautiful Almadies coastline where there is a selection of bars and restaurants overlooking the water. A taxi is needed to get into downtown Dakar and these are readily available on the main road.

Excellent

The rooms are big and the hotel was quiet. Staff are very helpful and accommodating, they make sure you have all you need and when there’s an issue they are quick to resolve. The WiFi stopped working on two occasions, the staff were quick to try and resolve though. A pleasant stay overall
