📍 Av. Abdoulaye Fadiga, Dakar

"A few days prior to my stay, I sent an email enquiring about airport transfers as my flight would arrive in the middle of the night. No reply. On my day of arrival, after having organized the transfer myself, I called the hotel to let them know I will be coming very late, and they did pick up the phone and spoke English. (And they finally replied to my email after I had checked in and stayed one night, only to let me know they do not organize transfers and referred me to Hertz...) The receptionists speak English and seem reasonably friendly. Check-in was quick, check-out not so. The room was very bare bones, cramped and ascetic, with a rather strong, musty smell hanging around. The floor was made of hard plastic and was filthy, don't wear white socks! There was no luggage rack, probably because there simply is no room for one. There was, however, a desk and chair, a safe and a bed that's great for one person but would be incredibly narrow for two. The pillows were worn out and lumpy. For a hotel built in 2011, I would expect power outlets by the bed, but that was not the case here. No fridge. A/C worked well enough for December, but won't probably be too helpful in summer. Wifi was free and unlimited, but spotty and slow. Don't plan on teleconferencing here. A 0.5 L water bottle was provided and replenished daily. The bathroom came with no bars of soap or shampoo. There was a wall-mounted liquid soap container on the wall, similar to the ones you can find in public toilets. It said, "hair, body and face wash". I guess you could wash your dog, clothes and car with it, too. There was a bath mat and two bath towels, no hand towels provided. Water in the handheld shower was warm and pressure was okay. The carpets in the hallways were in desparate need of deep cleaning. Buffet breakfast was served in the lobby from 6:30 to 10 and cost a reasonable 8000 CFA. It was your usual affair: nothing to get excited about, but it will give you a good start of the day. Some hot and cold items, juices, yoghurt. The fresh fruit was nice and the croissants excellent. The same compound has a Novotel hotel right next door, and their informal restaurant on the ground floor serves lunch and dinner. There is a buffet (dinner 17 000 CFA) as well as à la carte, including the famous chicken yassa. The pool is shared by the Novotel and the Ibis. While their homepage claims it is heated, this was not the case, and in December, nights are cool so the water was a bit cold, but bearable. It was open from 9 am to 7 pm. The pool attendant was a grumpy old man who wanted your room number but didn't understand English, not even numbers. Pool towels were left to dry in the sun and then reused without washing, which is absolutely disgusting. I suspected it at first and then got proof by seeing the attendant simply place used towels to dry on furniture on the pool deck, folding them nicely afterwards. And then checked my towel to see that it was both filthy and smelly. Wow. Th"

Novotel Dakar ★★★★

📍 Bp 2073, Av. Abdoulaye Fadiga, Dakar

"The environment is nice, with an outdoor swimming pool and an outdoor bar. Free WiFi is also available. It's a bit of a shame they didn't assign us a sea-view room. It's a 5-minute walk to a Chinese supermarket and wet market. Transportation is convenient."

King Fahd Palace Hotels in Dakar

King Fahd Palace

"Upon arrival one is met with a barricaded entrance and security people who yell at you that you must walk from the car park area. Doesn't matter how much luggage you have, the entrance cannot be entered and you must walk from the car park. By the way, the car park is dark and possibly not safe. When I asked at reception why they do this - it's for "security"... ??? Check in was as if they had never done it before. Rooms are OK, but coffee and water are not replenished. Toilet leaked. Food left me deathly ill. Meeting facilities are miles away. Gym is mostly closed - at least at times like early morning when someone would want to use it. Restaurant service was reasonably friendly but food was bad. Breakfast was completely inedible. No signage, so no idea how to get around the place. Banquet room had very little a/c. Overall the place and the staff are old and tired and clearly the management looks only at the cost and does nothing with customers or service in mind. It's a great location, but would need to be torn down and rebuilt and re-staffed before I'd consider staying again."

Casa Mara Dakar Hotels in Dakar

Casa Mara Dakar

"Liked · Oasis from Dakar in general. We were forced by cancelled flights to stay here another 2 nights, and were lucky enough to get a room. Great staff, always helping us. Breakfast was especially good. We like the room, really liked the bathroom. Rooftop restaraunt was great, food was good, the place had atmosphere also. Disliked · Nothing. Location was a bit meh, but no big deal"

Hotel l'Adresse Dakar Hotels in Dakar

Hotel l'Adresse Dakar

"I really loved my stay at L’Adresse. The entire staff was so friendly. Especially Thierry, the excellent server at the rooftop restaurant. That restaurant was so nice, you can sit in the sun and look out over the ocean. The airport shuttle was very nice. And the hotel is close to a mosque and the Embassy of Guinea for onward travel. The hotel is great!"

La Résidence Hotels in Dakar

La Résidence

"A truly wonderful accommodation experience! The environment and facilities were excellent, and the staff were incredibly helpful, attentive, and patient. There was also an adorable big cat! From check-in, Mr. Doudou was a huge help, reminding me of important things to be aware of, which is crucial for anyone visiting Senegal or even Africa for the first time! I also broke the customs lock on my suitcase, and the receptionist quickly resolved the issue. The security staff were also very responsible and helpful; I'm very grateful for their assistance. The hotel facilities were very comfortable; simply relaxing by the pool was pure bliss. Overall, it was an absolutely perfect experience, and I'm so grateful to have met such patient friends on my first trip to Africa. However, the Wi-Fi in the poolside rooms wasn't very good."

Boma LifeStyle Hotel Hotels in Dakar

Boma LifeStyle Hotel

"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."

Hôtel Fleur de Lys Point E Hotels in Dakar

Hôtel Fleur de Lys Point E

"Great location for exploring the local landscape off a quieter side street not far from the University campus. Dakar's open sewer is not a good idea; it pollutes the air, ruining your walking experience, and there were stagnant pools of water on the frontage, along with trash cans that have seen better days. The atmosphere is dead quiet in the rooms, a huge plus because the outside is busy and can get loud. I stayed on the 4th floor; the room was large. I love the high ceilings. The mattress was perfect, and sleep quality immaculate. The carpet had seen better days. Cleanliness was wanting; roaches were creeping in from the drain. A fumigation should be done — because the rooms are good. The carpet from the lift was not clean; it was damaged in spots. There was hair from the cleaner left on the floor of the bathroom. A big bonus is the rooftop pool; the temperature is right with 360 views. The gym has amazing potential because of the view of Dakar on 8th floor, but the windows are dirty and spoil the experience. Poolside cleanliness was also not good. Breakfast was adequate; coffee was below expectations. The food and drink are quite pricey. Fleur de Lys Point E is a mix of highs and lows."
