Great stay.
A clean and well-kept hotel with a very efficient and conscientious staff in every area. Rita is an exceptional person and extremely good resource for help in any area. I was well pleased with my 8-day stay. The breakfast was limited, but the meals are reasonable and very tasty.

The breakfast was very good, if you wanted hot addition to breakfast you would have to ask or you would not be told. Reception staff generally friendly and helpful. Other staff sometimes appeared to have attitude. The gym is not well equiped at all, 5 pieces of equipment only. The food from the bar was not really good. So avoided it in the end. Surrounding area was horrible not many eating places or places to see or explore, the area is very run down. Also was shocked that i had to pay additional tax on the hotel when i got there.

This hotel is a good no-frills place to stay in Dakar. It is a bit out of the way of most tourist spots, but easy to get taxis (heetch) to get to anywhere. The room was spacious with plenty of room to move around even with 3 people sharing. It is located on a very busy street, though, and the traffic noise can be loud but generally quiet enough overnight to be able to get sleep. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful and transfers to/from the airport are offered for a reasonable fee which can be added to your hotel bill. The breakfast is good with many options but it wasn't always refilled. The only thing is the coffee is instant, not brewed. The restaurant on the top floor offers many choices with reasonable prices and there is a restaurant next door for fast food options that is tasty and inexpensive. We spent 3 nights and were very happy with this hotel.

Great Accommodations in Dakar
We arrived about 8hrs later than planned due to over booking, however the staff was there to help us download the bags and help us to our rooms quickly. A light breakfast was provided in the morning and the staff on the 6th floor were so accommodating, I have a 2yr old that slept thru breakfast so I was collecting breakfast for him. Might I say the croissants were amazing, I ended getting up for breakfast every morning to eat 2 of them. We ventured up to the 7th floor and again the staff was so nice. Our rooms were clean, the ac was great and the beds were comfy. Excellent choice of hotels

Very nice hotel. Hotel hospitality exemplified by the man Mansour at the front desk. He was the only English speaking staff member there! I appreciated his service. Room was very comfortable. I tolerated warm water showers. Only downside was the restaurant. The restaurant staff were not very polite nor hospitable. The breakfast display and options leave so much more to be desired-not the greatest. Also those chairs in the lobby were better suited for a balcony not the reception area. All in all a relaxing stay but a higher price would be a tall order for this hotel

Good value for your money and very helpful staff.
I departed before the official breakfast time and got a nice food box, much appreciated!
Room and bathroom very spacious and clean, however the linen and pillow had disgusting stains. Wifi quality OK, sufficient for internet calls but sometimes you lose the connection.
Located next to very big and busy street but not much noise in the room. Good location to be in every district of Dakar quick by taxi, however not much to do or see nearby. Supermarket for all basic needs in direct neighborhood, not many restaurants close by. Overall I would stay again here, not much to complain and good European/Business standard.
