A nice spot of paradise among the chaos of dakars hustle and bustle. Amongst the higher end experiences price wise it is somewhere worth visiting alone for the comfort and accommodation of the team at Boma lifestyle hotel and attached YouYou restaurant. Fantastic atmosphere on weekends which are great for a cocktail as well as great food options that accommodate somewhat towards a European pallet for those not looking to stray to far from home. My girlfriend who is from cameroon recommends the Mafe for more traditional flavours where, I had the Yassa Poulet which would suit many visitors with is rich onion base. For those looking for a comforting European touch any of the pizza options will suit alongside a cold pint of gazelle. Utilise this hotel as a resting place to visit such sites as Ngor, goree island, the African renaissance monument, the pink lake, sandaga, and nearby visit the surfers paradise at hotel virag for some chilled entertainment of local and foreign surfers alike. For a nice meal that touches several west and central African pallets head to maison B. Exceptional hospitality alongside fantastic food, cocktails and shisha all at an affordable budget. For pastries head to Graines d'or a five minute walk from the hotel. And also head to happy Happy Hour & Degustation across from Jgo and maison B and see what cameroonian meals are on offer alongside some drinks an socialising with their owner. The petrol station next door provides a variety of snacks and beverages including cheap alcohol and a cash machine.

This is the second time staying at this hotel , it’s a good clean place to stay with a certain charm . I think it’s run by a French family. Convenient location and a nice restaurant on the roof for dinners, I highly recommend this place

Guest UserBooked a room for two people for 5 nights.
Room looked neat: clean, AC, TV and safe worked fine
The left window could be closed but not locked
Bathroom:
- However, there was a lot of mold in the joints of the tiles in the shower room
- the sink was virtually clogged
- There was a tear in the shower 'curtain' that had been patched.
Service: was bizarre
People at the reception were extremely friendly and helpful
Problem: it was booked for two people, but only one bath towel, one cup and one glass were provided (with kettle)
I later received the t****e bath towel after asking at reception. Unfortunately, the first three days I went back to reception 8 (!) times to get a t****th cup and t****th glass.
It was always promised that we would get them. There was also a call in my presence to come through and bring a cup and glass. I put a note next to one cup asking for a second cup and a second glass.
It's not a disaster, but you shouldn't pretend to be a 4-star hotel with such service! The room, bathroom and service are more consistent with a 2 or 3 star hotel.
The buffet breakfast (over 12 euros per person) was appropriate for a 4 star hotel and was excellent.
Upon arrival we were told breakfast was included. When I asked them the next day if they wanted to check this again, so that I wouldn't suddenly have to pay an extra 120 Euro at the end, they could no longer find my booking. They would search further. The next morning I received a call that breakfast was not included after all!
(We had received the trip as a gift and didn't know if breakfast was included)
All in all, great location, friendly, helpful people at reception, but apart from a good breakfast, it is at most a 3-star room that needs maintenance

Modern location right in the heart of Dakar with an excellent breakfast and outdoor pool make Novotel Dakar a strong choice for both business and leisure stays. The staff are generally warm and helpful, and amenities like free WiFi and parking add convenience. However, some rooms feel dated and the check-in process is occasionally slow, so it may take a little patience to get full value.

Amazing hotel. Clean, big room size. Hotel staff was kind. Hotel is 15mins away from the proper down town area. Hotel should give more water, at check in only gave 1 bottle. And the next day didn’t put a new bottle.

Erik LeuthäuserReally loved my stay here. Super friendly and helpful staff. Amazing room with a nice balcony. AC was great. My favorite was the pool on the rooftop and the variety of the breakfast buffet. Can absolutely recommend staying here.

Guest UserIf you live downstairs, it will be a little bit tidal. The hotel's towels feel old and the room has a tidal taste. The biggest feature is that the sea is directly outside the balcony, and you can listen to the sound of the waves every day.
