Dakar hotellia

Plussat: Centrally located with easy access for taxi and business district.

Miinukset: Slow check in and checkout

Plussat: Nice view from the terrace on Dakar bay

Miinukset: Terribly poor renovation... 2 lifts out of 3 out of service for hundreds rooms Food (fish) at the restaurant was very bad (how to make bad fish in Dakar?)

Plussat: Perfect location and truly the best resort in Dakar. Near the Markets, ferry to Gorée island and statues etc...food good lots to do.

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: The friendly staff, the restaurant and the swimming pool.

Miinukset: The room temperature, it would have been nice to have a bit of fresh air.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Sound from staff quarters can be heard in the rooms in the morning.

Plussat: The rooms were spacious when compared to hotel rooms. The reception staff were very warm and accommodating.

Miinukset: One of the breakfast waitresses wasn’t the most friendly.

Plussat: Lovely property and facilities; great staff. Perfect location. Deck off of the room! And three cats on the property... lucky me! Will hope to return!

Plussat: Nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Pool could be better cared for.

Plussat: Convenient location

Miinukset: Mosquitos in the rooms

Plussat: The area felt safe. The hotel and gardens were nice. The staff were helpful. We had a couple of meals there which were OK. The bedroom was big and the bed was comfortable. There were some nice comfy seats outside. There were always taxis at the end of the road. There were several nice restaurants only a few minutes walk away.

Miinukset: The plug in the shower didn't drain very well at all, there was generally a smell of drains from the bathroom. The cleaning staff (a very lovely lady) always tried to get in the bedroom whilst we were still in bed - if the door was locked and our key was in the door she was still able to open it. There wasn't much time in between the knock and her unlocking it, to give us chance to answer. There are no signposts at the end of any of the roads, wasn't helpful for taxi drivers!

Miinukset: Shower was clogged. Informed staff right away and they did nothing. The water even overflowed from the shower onto the bathroom floors. No offer of discount.

Plussat: Location. Decor. Breakfast

Miinukset: Nice boutique hotel near the sea.

Plussat: An elegant welcoming hotel with very helpful lovely staff

Miinukset: the breakfast lacks variety and boring. We stopped eating it on the 2nd day

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: All

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Room not clean .Smelly in the room

Miinukset: Thanks Nothing

Plussat: Location is relatively good

Miinukset: The staff behaviors were very unprofessional. The restaurants were below average. The room was below average it terms of facilities and cleanliness

Plussat: The hotel was clean and modern

Miinukset: They had more security personals than service personnel

Plussat: The Hotel was amazing and I enjoyed my brief stay there.

Miinukset: Room service for both dinner and breakfast was a disappointment because items were missing that were requested and even after repeated phone calls nothing happened to fix the issue. Additionally, had I booked the same room, for the same night at the same price on the Radisson Hotels website I would have had a free breakfast. Instead I paid for it.

Plussat: The hotel is brand new. It's very clean, the service is great and the breakfast buffet is wonderful.

Miinukset: Location is great since it's close to a major road but there were some traffic in the morning and it was hard to get a cab in the morning (they were all occupied).

Plussat: Friendly and professional staff. Hotel is just few steps away from the main road.

Miinukset: Not many nearby restaurants.

Plussat: The staffs are very friendly

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: very clean, helpful & friendly staff

Miinukset: evening restaurant food wasnt great. focus on fewer dishes but do them better.

Plussat: Great hotel

Plussat: Superbly clean. Super nice and helpful staff. Felt I had my own chauffeur with their airport and taxi arrangement service which I was happy to pay the little extra for. Slept (in fact overslept) in the comfy bed. Clean, clean, clean including the toilet/bathroom.

Miinukset: Location ...

Plussat: This place is amazing, it is very clean and comfortable and European luxury at it's best. You can not get a better hotel even at twice the rate. I recommend to all go and check it out you won't be disappointed

Miinukset: Bar was a little expensive, thought you will love the roof top location

Plussat: excellent breakfast, great espresso

Miinukset: my view

Plussat: Brand new, well designed and with very friendly helpful staff

Miinukset: It is in the middle of nowhere but convenient for the airport

Plussat: The Breakfast was awesome and the bed felt like home!

Miinukset: I have zero complaints.

Plussat: The bed was comfy. I did'nt take the breakfast

Miinukset: I did'nt like that, when I arrived at the aeroport ? the bus was"nt there , and and also when I arrived at the hotel reception they told me that I had no reservation. It was not good because I had received from you the confirmation of my reservation. I had to wait a long time . On the other hand my VIsa Card did'nt work at the hotel. Fortunately I had some money with me. And finaly, I did'nt like being contacted during the trip warning that the hotel had informed thay I had not attended the hotel 29-30 september.

Plussat: The main advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the airport. It makes it so practical especially as sometimes traffic jams are a concern. Having said that, the hotel was clean, comfortable and quiet; I guess a bit too quiet

Miinukset: GIven the location of the hotel, there isn't anything really that was of any concern or bother.

Plussat: The staff are very welcoming, very good service in both the restaurant and the bar.

Miinukset: Room service could be improved.

Plussat: Hyvä aamupala ja erinomainen sijainti lentokentälle lyhyt matka.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff. Good location. Airport pick up available (new Dakar international airport is 50km from Dakar).

Plussat: I had the best time staying here. Great place with the most friendly and helpful staff. Truly recommend!

Plussat: Amazing ocean view, hospitable staff, French breakfast

Miinukset: Flies are so annoying when you have breakfast. But this is a common issue for Dakar.

Plussat: Perfect location, beautiful sunsets and super helpful staff

Miinukset: The pets shed a lot of hair which remains on the chairs at the lounge/ bar area

Plussat: Location location location

Miinukset: No mosquito nets, dark bathroom with poor lighing

Plussat: Congratulations, professional staff, cleanliness, hospitality, I recommend

Miinukset: Unreservedly

Plussat: I stayed at the Pullman before right down the street the first week and I loved the view from the roof. It was centrally located and I was able to walk through the market easily.

Plussat: It was just a great place to stay and ease of access to the market area.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: It is is the heart of the plateau and within walking distance to most landmarks

Miinukset: Cannot pin down

Plussat: Local people run the place .

Miinukset: Rudeness of one particular member of staff- a lady at reception.

Plussat: The bed sheet

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The roof top terrace offers spectacular views of Dakar. Staff were very helpful with calling taxis for us and negotiating the fee beforehand.

Miinukset: The place needs a revamp, especially the terrace which has florescent lighting at night and dated furniture.

Plussat: staff esp manager , responded to our need to have two separate beds in a room. our specs for the room/bed requirement when we booked was not met when we arrived. but they listened to us and gave what we wanted.

Plussat: The hosts were very nice people. The terrace was great for breakfast and evening chats. Great food in the restaurant.

Plussat: You cannot find a lot of hostels in Senegal unfortunately,which is a shame as it is a great way to meet other travelers,especially if you travel alone. It is also in a quite area,near the beach The omelet for breakfast was great.

Plussat: Awesome hosts, really nice yard, spacious and clean rooms. And they have the cutest children! :)

Plussat: despite the near the beach Location thanks to off-season special price I could go to the beach easily I was able to see Kitesurf for the first time　 It was a pity I couldn't watch djembe performances and dances at a nearby restaurant that it was not the top season I was happy to drink delicious espresso！

Miinukset: It would be better if the shower drain was running

Plussat: Very polite staff: Fabio and Fatima can give you many advices about Dakar and the test of Senegal too

Miinukset: A little bit expensive the breakfast and the food, but they supports a little NGO so it could be ok

Plussat: It was a quiet space in a chaotic city. Good facilities (it’s a nice house with a rooftop with a view of the ocean). The hostel was owned by a great couple with their family and it was located next to a nice beach filled with locals.

Miinukset: I preferred the location away from the full on center of Dakar, but getting transport away from this area cost a bit more. I think it was still worth being here however.

Plussat: Nice house close to the beach in a really calm area far from the crazy city! Comfortable beds

Miinukset: It is 3 hours walking from the city center. The beach is almost imposible to swim... so big waves perfect for surf :)

Plussat: The location, a good price for this place

Miinukset: Only one shower in the entire property

Plussat: Hotel location was ok, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Rooms are getting old and a little damp. Got a sea-view which only gave me a partial view. Booking through Kayak/Getaroom included breakfast but hotel charged me for it.

Plussat: The staff was awesome specially madame Comba front desk manager or supervisor. She made our anniversary great Thanks Comba

Miinukset: Wifi was not working

Plussat: Huge hotel. Very kind staff.

Miinukset: Old rooms. Smells bad

Plussat: Clea common area. Food and personal are good.

Miinukset: Rooms are old and not really fresh, the carpet was definitely a bad idea. I don't know what they did with the closet but it felt like they kept cats in there as it smells like cat piss. There is no real beach because it is small and quite dirty, and the ocean is not attractive.

Plussat: It was clean, staff friendly and helpful and food was very good.

Miinukset: The internet reception was abysmal, barely could view any graphics or photos, forget video. The carpet and furniture need replacing. Some of the lawns around the facility needed attention. My closet smelled musty, toilet ran constantly. The room doors need replacing too as they slam when closing them, very noisy. Back in it's day this must have been awesome.

Plussat: The staff was exceptional from reception, to the concierge, to the people in the restaurant. I just happened to be there at the perfect time and got to go to a Youssou N'Dour concert on the property. Tickets were only $50USD for VIP seats. The pool area was lovely as well, but I didn't get to partake. The food at the restaurant was delicious.

Miinukset: The facilities and decorations in the room are old. There were rust stains in the toilet and sometimes I had to let the water run so that the brown water would pass first. The wifi was ok...sometimes it went out for patches of time.

Miinukset: Not good value for money. Does not help with airport transfers, pick ups. No upgraded for accor members

Miinukset: Maybe a lesser quality maintenance than a few years ago

Plussat: Location is great. Hotel is comfortable

Miinukset: The toilet seat and the showers are not in the same area in the room. The toilet seat is in a small room you feel like you are sitting inside a closet. Also I think it was a bit over priced.

Plussat: Nice hotel with view of the water. Friendly staff and good food.

Miinukset: I being Anglo Western, I would like few more English channels on the television

Plussat: The restaurant was good, and the iftar formula excellent for Ramadan.

Miinukset: The air conditioner was just limit. I changed room to experience more or less the same experience.

Plussat: Location is good

Miinukset: Old and unwelcoming, standard rooms feels claustrophobic and cleanliness is questionable. Wifi is poor, hair dryer is 50 years old, minibar empty. Stayed only one night and glad I did. Will never go back, same price as the Pullman but not comparable at all.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Rude staff No WiFi Poor services Out dated decor Old hotel poor maintenance

Plussat: The hotel is beautiful, with a huge pool in a nice setting. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, always happy to help with your quiery. Overall I would highly recomment this hotel. The food and cocktails were also of excellent quality.

Miinukset: The only negative comment I would have is that it got really busy at the pool area on a Sunday, given that people from outside come to use the pool for the day.

Plussat: The location could not be better

Miinukset: The hotel is desperately in need of renovation . The staff desperately need training. The breakfast buffet is desperately boring. Don’t bother to order the airport shuttle: it will not be there and the reception staff will not care.

Plussat: Allasalue

Miinukset: Vähän huonokuntoinen hotelli Sijainti vähän sivussa

Plussat: Location and personel

Miinukset: Inside, the room are getting older and dirtier. Need a fresh paint.

Plussat: Great location and garden

Miinukset: Room and restaurant are pretty old

Plussat: Wifi was strong all over the premises

Plussat: Despite my bad experience I can say There was a great view, helpful staff, decent wifi

Miinukset: Hot water didn't work! Also, it seems like they need to invest in some updates, things were outdated and my phone or hair dryer didn't work also. I was given a small discount because I complained a lot about the water, but I think this hotel is overpriced and you can find something both cheaper and much nicer

Plussat: The staff are so lovely and such a high service level. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Dakar.

Plussat: The environment.

Miinukset: One of my guests (Mr. Olumuyiwa Omisakin) misplaced his mobile phone in the taxi that took them from the airport in the early hours of Monday, September 23, 2019 as assigned by A. DEME. Efforts to retrieve the phone didn't yield any success and I am yet to get the expected feedback till date. Very unsatisfactory.

Plussat: Location and Pool

Miinukset: Room. Never fixed the toilet or internet

Plussat: The staff are great. The breakfast is very good. The location is outstanding.

Miinukset: Nothing I didn't like. The property is aging and will need to be refurbished.

Plussat: Room is good , clean

Miinukset: Breakfast is no variety

Plussat: I liked the restaurant and the staff were all good and professional. I made friends with one of the staff at the restaurant called Sheikh (nice guy) I also like the internet (wifi) was very good. The ladies at the reception are also very friendly and willing to help even to get taxis for clients Good hotel which i will stay again and again when i visit Dakar next time.

Miinukset: I did not like the breakfast. The breakfast for accommodated guests was very limited and they only serve croissants and tea. There is no variety to select from. They should consider setting buffet breakfast.

Plussat: I had some slight issues with checking in, which was very excellently handled and resolved with no discomfort by the front desk. Bravo!

Plussat: It is a great and friendly hotel! Very central and easily reachable!

Plussat: Sijainti,jääkaappi.

Miinukset: Aamupala,suihku ja kylpyhuone yleisesti.

Plussat: The hotel is found in the centre of dakar. Many public institutions/business are around the corner.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Took my bank card pre authorization and cancel my reservation. I experienced this situation one time before in this hotel, so I sent late check in request to this hotel this time and they replied to me and accepted my request. But finally they did the same and cancel my booking with excuse of fully booked... No more stay in this hotel. No more.

Plussat: Pool was lovely. Great view of the ocean. Comfortable bed. Compact room with clean bathroom. Very secure complex. Internet works well. Good standard of breakfast.

Plussat: The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was comfortable, AC worked well, nice pool, continental breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: Food at hotel was quite pricey.

Plussat: The staff is very skilled and helpful specially; Tidiane and Lamine. The location is very good and room was very quite and housekeeping is very nice and flexible.

Miinukset: Room size is small and need some kind of renovation and the hotel has no Gym.

Plussat: The staff very helpful and the open space

Miinukset: No comments

Plussat: The hotel personal!!

Plussat: The staff is very gentle, the swimming pool pleasureful

Miinukset: #disabled facilities are poor, toilets lack the indispensable little shower close to lavatory

Plussat: The location and it proximity to the city center, the staff were really high skill and available, the rooms are clean and the view was amazing.

Miinukset: The absence of a restaurant, the poor diversity of TV channels , the price was very high which made the price-quality ratio unbalanced

Plussat: Okay

Miinukset: Extra fee by booking.com

Plussat: The hotel was towards the city centre with no view of the ocean. If Ocean view is important to you, i would suggest you book one closer to the ocean.

Miinukset: The views

Plussat: I like the cleanness of the hotel, parking space for car and the breakfast and lunch was superb

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Location is great, walking distance to anything in centre ville. Beautiful ocean front deck with good cocktails. Hospitable and helpful ataff

Miinukset: I stayed in one of the non ocean facing rooms, and it was just depressing. Tiny window, halogen lights and a foam mattress. Very loud when people were in the hall way. The location of the hotel is great but you don't feel it in the rooms. Other places are cheaper and similarly located in the ville. For this price the rooms aren't worth it.Wouldn't go again.

Plussat: Location was nice. View can't be beat

Miinukset: There are literally 112 steps to get into the hotel. Carrying luggage down that sucked! Also, the room was ok but not luxurious by any means. For the price, you could stay at a much better hotel closer to the city center. Also, they don't even leave the lights in the hallway on. Imagine carrying luggahe down 112 steps then taking an unairconditioned elevator to your room then stepping off into a dark hallway with no 2indows and lights off. Creepy! Each room had a tiny unit ac. Definitely not worth the price. We ended up checking out eau and moving to the pullman!

Plussat: Location is good. Sea view and fresh breeze.

Miinukset: The rooms are degraded and aircon and electricity is faulty. Needs renovation.

Plussat: It was a nice and pleasent stay. Compared to price it was one of the best choice in Dakar

Miinukset: Breakfast could be more richer

Plussat: The beach and the staff

Miinukset: Too cold weather

Plussat: The prize and location was very good.Friendly people.

Miinukset: Location off the hotel.

Plussat: Hotel du Phare is the ideal value for money choice to enjoy Dakar. Very convenient location in Mamelles, which makes it easy to reach both Les Almadies and Plateu. Great rooftop with good pizza and nice Thursday evening drinks!

Miinukset: The rooms were very basic and they haven't been cleaned for the three nights we were there.

Plussat: The location is good.

Miinukset: Value for money is lacking. Breakfast should at least be included for the price.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: The staff are friendly and helpful. The wifi was good.

Miinukset: For such prices, I expected more comfortable rooms. No bath soap or shower gel? Why is breakfast not included in such a high price. No value for money. They are way better hotels/lodges in Dakar for the same price range.

Plussat: It was quiet, the main areas & room were clean. It’s quite laid-back. Hostelly atmosphere. Nice roof area to relax in. I was not there on the nights they have entertainment. Pizzas make a nice change. Someone with a flair for style has lent a hand but it’s a bit ‘faded’. Main thing is that I felt safe and it was a short walk to the beach Les Mamelles where there is also a good restaurant and some cheaper ones. Extremely helpful staff.

Plussat: Small hotel with decent room and I don’t mind the shared bathroom down the hall. Breakfast was good. Roof deck is lovely.

Miinukset: Bathroom a little shabby.
