Excellent place and wonderful staff!
I cannot rate this place highly enough. First of all the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. The room was great, good shower, nice size, fridge and kettle, both much appreciated. Perfectly located for the places I wanted to visit in Dakar. Loads of fresh produce at breakfast, including a very tasty bean dish. The pool area was a perfect oasis from the business of down town Dakar. Loved it!

Fiyat performans olarak iyi
Otel konumu çok iyi, oda boyutları normal. Temizlik normal. Elbiselerim için ütü istedim fakat ücret karşılığında kendileri ütülemek istediler, ütü vermediler odaya. Kahvaltısı zayıf, seçenek az, lezzeti iyi değil. Döviz bozdurmak istediğimizde yardımcı oldular.

Obligé de payer 2 fois pour le même séjour.
Le pré-paiement que j'ai effectué le 29/07 à Hotels.com n'a pas été pris en compte par l'hôtel (on disait ne pas avoir reçu de pré-paiement). J'ai dû payer une deuxième fois pour le même séjour. Il est impossible de trouver de l'aide ou un contact sur le site de Hotels.com afin d'obtenir un remboursement.

Except clean room, terrible breakfast
Cleaning the room and welcome services are very good. But the breakfast was terribly poor and, during breakfast, they were cleaning the near floor and swimming pool. All the more, breakfast time wasn't observed (30 minutes later) and the swimming pool cannot be used, due to the really terribly improperty.
