    I didn’t like that they gave to me one room was not the one I chose on booking, it was twice smaller and without private balcony as mentioned, and the guy at reception once I arrived he told me that there is not “luxury room” because all the rooms are same to not make me notice the difference from the room I booked. But the rooms were different each other and they were having different prices as you can see on booking, above all the room I booked existed, I saw it in person and they just gave to someone else, which is okay for me if you don’t have available or u dont give to me for any type of reason but just say the truth, be honest ad above all it was correct to give to me the difference of price due to fact the one I chose was not the same price of the one they gave to me. Be careful drinks are not included in the breakfast price. And pay attention if the room they gave to you is the same you booked.

    The position was perfect and room pretty clean

    Nothing - this place met my expectations perfectly.

    Location in a nice area just off main road. Relatively quick walk to the beach and boats to Ngor Island which was lovely. Staff helpful and friendly. Wifi was excellent.

    The shower wouldn’t drain (and for some reason there is no other drain hole in shower/toilet so often the bathroom would be flooded and water creep into the bedroom and have to contain it somehow.

    VERY COMFORTABLE DOUBLE Bed & Pilows, cold aircon, spacious rooms with lounge & fridge, English/French speaking receptionist with many good reccomendations for what to see and do in Dakar, good restaraunts around the hotel and the beach 15min walk, microwave and kitchen that you can use to reheat food, The owner has many local connections also, so that helped us to book tours etc. Would def stay again.

    The location is a little far from the main road and it’s difficult for Taxis to find the location some times. The towels provided are not the best, very hard and rough. We had to get our own towels.

    The staff is very friendly and treat you like family. They really took good care of us and made sure we were okay. The A/C and hot water were amazing!

    -On my first night, the room I was given had just been vacated and had a strong smell of cigarettes. I asked them to clean it and open up the windows for a while which they did but the pillows and duvet were not clean and still had a strong smell of perfume/BO. It was late at this point and the staff had left so I was forced to sleep without the pillows and duvet (thankfully it wasn't cold). The next day I was moved to a different room and my stay was pleasant from then on. -The rooms could use a fresh coat of paint as they are not quite as per the pictures -A nice piece of artwork to liven up the rooms would be great!

    -Very nice and friendly staff who went out of their way to assist whenever they could. Especially the lady who works in the morning. We don't speak French well and she was very patient while we used Translate to help us get around and direct drivers to the property. -Great conversations with the hotel manager over drinks in the evening -The rooms are very spacious and clean for the most part (see below about my one bad experience). -Great WiFi.

    We had issues with the bathroom but Pape fixed it immediately.

    The hotel manager Pape was helpful and accommodating. My cousin and I traveled between Senegal & Gambia and Pape helped guide us with restaurants recommendations, the local cost for taxis and more. He even communicated with us when we were making arrangement to return to Dakar from Banjul. He arranged a taxi driver to pick me up from the airport after midnight. Waited for me at the hotel to check in. I felt safe and comfortable at the hotel thanks to Pape. We were in constant communication via text/WhatsApp. He allowed me to check out late as my flight back home was at 10 on ish. .

    The billing system should be standardized for international travelers.

    Excellent behavior of owner and staff and very supportive attitude. Needs proper direction boards as the hotel is located on a subway.
