Voyageuse seule, lieu idéal pour se déconnecter

Je me suis sentie chez moi, et c’était très agréable

L’accueille un peu distant de prime abord et le manque d’explications lors de mon arrivée. Mais la suite fut familière et très heureuse !

Auberge que je recommande les yeux fermés

Auberge très chouette avec plusieurs terrasses et un rooftop. Personnel arrangeant et trés pro. Plage à proximité.

Lit un peu inconfortable

good for a night, but could use a cleaning and renovation.

safe parking for the motorcycle, friendly staff, 1st floor looked good.

the room we had (without airco) had a lot of Dead Mosquito's against the wall, all in their own puddle of blood (blood they got from other people). the walls where dirty, paint was missing, and there where big moisture stains. so it wasn't cleaned in a long time. the fan was not installed correctly, so it made a lot of notice and movement when it's on the highest setting. strange was that the bed and floor was perfectly clean.

Un'oasi di tranquillità

Camera ampia con aria condizionata (a pagamento), acqua calda (e non è cosa da poco a Dakar), letti comodi e pulizia generale ottima. Buona anche la semplice colazione. La vicinanza alla spiaggia è sicuramente un punto a favore.

La valutazione non al massimo tiene conto degli standard internazionali a cui i viaggiatori sono abituati. La vasca da bagno e le perdite nel bagno abbassano la valutazione, ma sicuramente uno dei posti più belli che potete trovare al prezzo proposto.

Solid place at an affordable rate.

A nice and simple place to stay. Great if you are looking for an authentic room and quiet place. Wifi worked decently well. Nice view and easy walk to the beach - although note that the beach has a fair bit of plastic on it. Beautiful sunrise though and good swimming. Staff were nice and usually helpful. Breakfasts were good and extras were inexpensive. If you don't mind staying a bit further away from downtown and taking cheap cabs, you will feel like you get your own space/sanctuary and add some commute time every day, while savings a fair bit of money.

Note that English is not really spoken here also that AC costs extra. There are no real restaurants around the property but if you download Yango you can easily take a cab for $3 to several places.

Auberge bien mais ennuyeux

Ensroit très bien, calme et proche la mer,

Personnel ne savent pas sourire mais ces sont gentils, maison un peu sombre...restaurant ne propose pas? Toujours resté fermé ? J'ai voulu mange le soir mais il n'avait personne ni un mouche?

Nice little hotel

Great and helpful stuff. When I was a bit sceptical how to travel as a solo female, Ruth took the time to explain to me where to travel and how. Everybody of the stuff was very nice. Great location, 300m from the beach. Enclosed quarter, so it's safe. Restaurants close by.

Far away from the city center and the other sights (up to one hour by taxi).

Close to beach but not the best place to stay.

Close to the beach, but a very run down and old property. The AC wasn’t working and staff wasn’t that friendly.

A very run down place. Def needs some upgrades.

I love the staff they are nice and sweet. only take the bathroom private as shared bathroom is literally unpleasant.

I like the place as you hear the waves from the ocean.

It was horrible and terrible attitude of an old woman who’s never been happy with her life or Just she hates me because I am asian 😏😣🤧 Rude character for an old one😬🙄

Loved the location, it's next to the beach in Yoff, possible to go and eat some delicious grilled Fish in just 5 mins. Breakfast was very nice with great variety of jam Owner and staff helps in anything

Bathroom (water didn't drain in the shower) Price (expensive for 1 person compared to the value,, but unfortunately that is what I experienced all over Senegal if I compared prices with East and South African countries)

A gem by the beach in Yoff

Staff and owner were incredibly welcoming, friendly and had great recommendations. Ruth got us in touch with an amazing guide. Yoff is a great area, away from the busyness of downtown but nonetheless accessible. Transfers, bus tickets were organised. Ground coffee and baguettes with butter and jams was a simple but great breakfast.

A wonderful 4 day stay in Sunny Dakar with great memories

all the staff at this hotel are very honest, helpful and friendly; always ready to help with a smile; another great aspect the desk was manned 24/7; very helpful. my morning breakfast was simple but very tasty and filling; my room was basic but it had everything i needed for my 4 nights stay; the internet worked well, as and when i needed it; this hotel is in a safe neighbourhood; so walking around and coming back before 10pm was not a concern at all; enough power sockets for all my electrical gadgets; this hotel does to and from airport transfer.

the choice of good restaurants was an issue for me; luckily one of the members of staff, Issa, knew of an excellent restaurant where i pretty much ate each day. very careful in planning transportation in Dakar; the traffic jams are horrendous; the taxis are expensive as Africa goes.

Pleasant

Good place to escape from the city. Can meet lots of interesting people. Small garden nice for breakfast. Sound of crashing waves really lovely. Let me stay a few extra hours in the room as I had a very late flight out. Lovely Amadou gave me the chance to try the local Senegalese tea- delicious. Ruth knows everything you could wish to know and can help with questions big or small. Lots of books here in French German and English mainly. Walking along the beach you can find tasty fish at different places. Lots of action on the beach as the guys do incredible fitness training in the evenings! I managed to get taxis into town for 2000 or 2500... just walk away if they ask a lot more. Btw, India Gate restaurants in town do good vegan food!

Got bitten by bedbugs...! They are so itchy.. staff were concerned and suggested Aloe Vera for the bites. They knew there had been some problem this season with this, suggested that tourists brought them in... maybe possible...yet 2 long nights in a 4 person cabin bunk bed = I didn't get a single bite!

Excellent reasonably priced and comfortable place near the sea.

Ruth and her team were so very helpful, nothing was too much trouble from arranging taxis to helping me change money. The guest house was very comfortable and extremely clean. THANK YOU RUTH AND STAFF🙏

Friendly & helpful.

The manager, Ruth was so helpful & friendly & speaks English & French. She was able to arrange airport transfer at a late hour, I felt very safe with her driver of choice, instead of a random taxi driver. Cost 25,000CFA for trip. Good location away from the city, fresh sea breezes to help combat the stifling heat & humidity. I should have paid extra for air-conditioning though. They cooked a lovely Senagalese meal for me. The beach at the back is covered in rubbish, but is still lovely to walk along. It is very secure behind gated walls.

For budget accommodation everything was excellent.

not recommended

next to the beach fairly easy to find place is clean at first owner is replying fairly fast and give accurate informations hot shower with good water pressure was a lot of books in French , German and English, not sure if we could book exchange, but great if we could but didn’t have the opportunity to ask sadly … mosquitoes net provided above each bed but didn’t need to use them lovely place for food about 5 mn walk (Lalla Beach )

was noisy as they were going some repairs on both days I was there way past 7pm so relaxing after a long day and before going for dinner wasn’t an option. breakfast was including however only selection of hot drinks and bread with jam was offered to me … no cereals available. so skipped breakfast main concern for me, I felt very I welcomed and actually left after 2 days. Owner was very arrogant and seemed not to value any feedback nor her client ( we are just money cows ) staff were equally not the most welcoming however one did try to redeem himself and was very helpful in finding me a taxi when I left payment is cash only ( may have missed this info but can’t recall seeing it anywhere ) a bit far from Almadies / ferry terminal / N’Gor ( not walkable distance ) bed are extremely soft I personally wouldn’t recommend nor would ever booked there again, however the attractive price is a good selling point as in Dakar very limited options available in this price range. Extremely disappointed in the attitude of the staff and owner. never felt that unwelcomed anywhere in my travels ( travelling at least 6 months a year every year for the past 8 years )

Best place in Senegal so far

Best place that I stayed in all of Senegal so far. The room was extremely clean and made so no mosquitos can get inside, we didn't even have to use the nets. The bathrooms had hot water, which is rare in Senegal. A lot of places to put our baggages, a beautiful porch area and roof top. Great location and best of all, great value for our money.

Nothing.
