The room was neither too big nor too small, the window could not be opened and was also very small, which made the room very damp, and the bed was a bit soft. The wash basin and the desk were together, which made it easy to get the things on the desk dirty, but it was a very cost-effective hotel in Dakar.
Chambre la moins chère sans fenêtres, un peu sombre
Propreté correcte mais une seule salle de bain avec parfois de l'attente...
Beau rooftop amenagé avec nombreuses plantes et fresques murales , c'est le gros point positif
The staff's generosity and location are excellent, but the cleanliness of the accommodations and the restaurant's food are subpar. Staff may enter the rooms at any time to clean them. It's a good idea to keep the doors locked during your stay.
Overall, my satisfaction was average. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd want to come back again.
I like the tranquility of this place and especially the hospitality of the owner. I was expecting the bathroom in my room and the room on the higher floor, but as on this floor only I had, the experience was all pleasant.
Booked a room for two people for 5 nights.
Room looked neat: clean, AC, TV and safe worked fine
The left window could be closed but not locked
Bathroom:
- However, there was a lot of mold in the joints of the tiles in the shower room
- the sink was virtually clogged
- There was a tear in the shower 'curtain' that had been patched.
Service: was bizarre
People at the reception were extremely friendly and helpful
Problem: it was booked for two people, but only one bath towel, one cup and one glass were provided (with kettle)
I later received the t****e bath towel after asking at reception. Unfortunately, the first three days I went back to reception 8 (!) times to get a t****th cup and t****th glass.
It was always promised that we would get them. There was also a call in my presence to come through and bring a cup and glass. I put a note next to one cup asking for a second cup and a second glass.
It's not a disaster, but you shouldn't pretend to be a 4-star hotel with such service! The room, bathroom and service are more consistent with a 2 or 3 star hotel.
The buffet breakfast (over 12 euros per person) was appropriate for a 4 star hotel and was excellent.
Upon arrival we were told breakfast was included. When I asked them the next day if they wanted to check this again, so that I wouldn't suddenly have to pay an extra 120 Euro at the end, they could no longer find my booking. They would search further. The next morning I received a call that breakfast was not included after all!
(We had received the trip as a gift and didn't know if breakfast was included)
All in all, great location, friendly, helpful people at reception, but apart from a good breakfast, it is at most a 3-star room that needs maintenance
Ibis is much better than the local hotel at the same price, sharing a small courtyard and a garden with Novotel. Can choose the sea view room, very quiet, recommended.
I had a problem with my visa when arriving at the airport so I was not able to left the customs/airport and I informed the hotel, and they refused to help me to cancel the reservation which was just for 1 night due to connecting flights. Then no support for the customers so will not consider this hotel for other occassiobs
Very Good

WWJElondonA nice spot of paradise among the chaos of dakars hustle and bustle. Amongst the higher end experiences price wise it is somewhere worth visiting alone for the comfort and accommodation of the team at Boma lifestyle hotel and attached YouYou restaurant. Fantastic atmosphere on weekends which are great for a cocktail as well as great food options that accommodate somewhat towards a European pallet for those not looking to stray to far from home. My girlfriend who is from cameroon recommends the Mafe for more traditional flavours where, I had the Yassa Poulet which would suit many visitors with is rich onion base. For those looking for a comforting European touch any of the pizza options will suit alongside a cold pint of gazelle. Utilise this hotel as a resting place to visit such sites as Ngor, goree island, the African renaissance monument, the pink lake, sandaga, and nearby visit the surfers paradise at hotel virag for some chilled entertainment of local and foreign surfers alike. For a nice meal that touches several west and central African pallets head to maison B. Exceptional hospitality alongside fantastic food, cocktails and shisha all at an affordable budget. For pastries head to Graines d'or a five minute walk from the hotel. And also head to happy Happy Hour & Degustation across from Jgo and maison B and see what cameroonian meals are on offer alongside some drinks an socialising with their owner. The petrol station next door provides a variety of snacks and beverages including cheap alcohol and a cash machine.

GGuest UserThe location overlooking the lake is of course fantastic. On-site restaurant and bar are lovely, three pools to choose from (all operational when I was there). If you want to swim in the lake it's a bit of a climb down a wall to get there, or you walk through the bushes behind the small building at the far end of the pool area.
Staff was nice even if maybe a bit uninterested, but can't blame them, there were barely any guests and they essentially kept the restaurant and bar open just for a tiny group. Everything friendly and nice. Rooms are a bit dated but everything works fine, so it's alright. WiFi was actually very decent.
NNTDialloExcellent stay at this brand new establishment!
. The rooms were wonderful and spacious offering a Cozy bed was also a huge plus!!
. The staff was highly efficient, accommodating and true examples of exceptional service.
. The food was ok. We didn't experience the breakfast buffet since there were very few guest, so this was totally understandable.
They didn't miss ANYTHING on this one and spared not one amenity. From energy efficiency, luxury accommodations and beautiful decor. I recommend Sama for your visit to Almadies Dakar.
GGuest UserModern location right in the heart of Dakar with an excellent breakfast and outdoor pool make Novotel Dakar a strong choice for both business and leisure stays. The staff are generally warm and helpful, and amenities like free WiFi and parking add convenience. However, some rooms feel dated and the check-in process is occasionally slow, so it may take a little patience to get full value.

AAizal JulkreeDakar is the place i’ve known only when i play video game in my Play Station. The game ‘ Dakar 97’ is my first knowledge about Dakar. Which is the rally racing in year 1997. It is quite an amazing video game and now i’m here in Dakar.
RReneReneThis is the second time staying at this hotel , it’s a good clean place to stay with a certain charm . I think it’s run by a French family. Convenient location and a nice restaurant on the roof for dinners, I highly recommend this place
