Incredible hotel. Amazing interior. Amazing restaurant overlooking the bay and beach. Very nice staff. One of the most amazing hotels I have been to.

Pool and deck area looking over the ocean is very beautiful

Fabulous, uniquely designed hotel, the product of one woman's 6 years of hard work sculpting the place by hand. The walls, furniture, rooms are all designed in an architectural style that's hard to define - Neo-tropical? Beaux-Arts Moroccan? I don't know, but it's all fabulous. The manager Isabelle is a wonderful host, the Cap-Verdean barmen Jean-Marc (I think that was his name) makes his own Bissap and Bouye, the views from the terrace and pool area are stunning. Unless you want some faceless corporate hotel, this is the best place to stay in Dakar.

Terrific building woth a unique qierky design. Stinning lounge and communal areas. Great coastal location and view from the bar/terrace. The antithesis of the boring standard character-free corporate hotel.

The design was unique. The pool was very big. The staff were well dressed

Interesting architecture, great location, friendly staff, WiFi was spotty at best.

Hotel Sokhamon was hands-down the worst value for the money Ive spent on a hotel. It had many great aspects, though! STAY FOR: The hotel is walking distance to Dakar center and has beautiful, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean to Dakars west. Its bar/restaurant was always lively before sunset. The design and architecture were the most unique Ive seen in a hotel. The staff was very friendly. DONT STAY FOR: It was nearly impossible to get an internet/WiFi connection inside or outside, and was slow when successful. The hotel is dusty, unkept, and empty; there were two other guests during our stay. After being harassed by mosquitoes for two nights, we asked for a mosquito net for the third night, which a friend had in his room - didnt happen. Theres no concierge - the hotels.com page is inaccurate - and youll have to find your own good time (without WiFi) and ask to use the hotels phone. The hotels.com profile says that the airport shuttle is 10.000 CFA per person; we three paid 35.000 CFA. We booked a return with a taxi for 21.000 CFA. The hotel restaurant ran out of breakfast the first morning we stayed - we asked why our earlier arriving friend received a larger breakfast, were reluctantly served more items after our query, and noted that a later arriving couple left angrily because no breakfast remained for them. OVERALL: At nearly $200/night for a sea view room, we unreservedly recommend looking elsewhere for your accommodations in Dakar.

Their information regarding accommodation, pillow menu, prices of rooms and so on were different when we arrived. when I informed the concierge about that my order on Hotels.com and what I got was different he said that it was an issue between me and Hotels.com. They were not interested in correcting anything without additional payment.. The only good thing with this stay was the restaurant just beside the hotel, good food and an infinity pool

This is the most original and beautifully designed hotel and I have ever been in over many years of traveling.

I stay at the Sokhamon every time I go to Dakar. Other hotels may be more luxurious or modern (eg Terrou-Bi) but the unique architecture, beautiful seaside location, and wonderful sitting areas keep me coming back. There's no better place to enjoy a drink outside as the sun sets over the ocean.

Good area, hotel could use attentiveness to its clients. Poor breakfast selection

For the business traveller this hotel is not at all suitable. Very pore Internet, terrible lighting in the rooms. Laundry service takes two days. Service at Resturant is friendly but extremely slow. Breakfast sometimes not ready until 0730. bathrooms in serious need of updating.

A beautiful location, right on the beach and walking distance from the center of Dakar.

Explendid Oasis of wellness and arquitecture amidst the energy of Dacar

What an incredible view of the water. Totally relaxing

Sokhamon is oddly and quite nicely hippy, great location but lacks any finese what so ever. It is clean and friendly but thats about it. Breakfast is terrible, dinner was expensive but good quality. Please dont book an inside (patio view) room, they are so so dark.
