Hotel in zona N'Kids, Dakar

For the price, I expected average. This hotel is amazing. Gym, restaurant, cityscape view, and 5-star service. It’ in the center of the city so easy access to everything. Highly recommend if you’ll be doing lots of touring. Would definitely stay here again.

Ho fatto l'errore di permettere al mio tour operator di prenotare due notti all'Onomo Hotel a Dakar. Se vuoi una stanza... che non ha tè, zucchero, tazza, vetro, una caldaia elettrica sporca che è nera alla base e fora specchi neri, prenota il tuo soggiorno qui. - dove fai 6 viaggi al Front Desk per cercare di risolvere un a/c rotto, prenota il tuo soggiorno qui. -che ha un a/c rotto e 6 agenti ti dicono che non è rotto, prenota il tuo soggiorno qui. Se vuoi vedere le roccia che correno in fondo al piano in marcia, prenota il tuo soggiorno qui. Se vuoi che un agente dell'hotel ti dica che per riscaldare la tua stanza, apri la finestra di notte quando è più freddo fuori della tua stanza, prenota il tuo soggiorno qui. Solo uno dei 6 agenti dell'hotel ha finalmente spiegato che ci sono tre opzioni di temperatura nella stanza Fan, Calore, Cold. I numeri sul termostato sono senza senso. Tutti gli altri 5 agenti dell'hotel hanno fatto il numero sul termostato come se fosse un vero termostato. In camera mia, il termostato era bloccato a Cold. Nessuno dei 5 agenti aveva idea di come sparare un termostato rotto. Ho consigliato all'agente di front desk Yanique a 5.30pm, 7.30pm, 8.30pm e 9pm che avevo bisogno di tè, zucchero, una tazza. È arrivato a 9.53pm, mi ha svegliato per consegnarli. Non ha offerto scusa. L'agente dell'hotel mi ha offerto una nuova stanza. Dopo aver dormito per due notti, perché la stanza era così fredda, ho accettato l’offerta e ho sbattuto nel pensiero di imballare le mie cose alle 4 della notte, e ha controllato il computer, scrivendo numerose. Ha poi colpito due porte e si sveglia a 4.45am! Stai fuori di qui se vuoi un buon sonno!

We were blown away by how nice this place was – a veritable oasis in a busy, noisy city. Very trendy and modern with a laid back vibe and African feel. The location in Ngor is great, close to many points of interest, with lots of restaurants and convenience stores located within about 5-minutes walk. The hotel staff were all great, very friendly and welcoming with good English. The rooms are all individual chalets with private courtyards set in African gardens – plenty of privacy. Our room was spacious and modern with all the amenities you’d expect – AC, coffee maker, fridge, TV, hairdryer, etc. The Wifi internet was super fast and we enjoyed the complimentary nuts and coconut cakes. Great bathroom/shower, plenty of space. Everything was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We were surprised to find a relatively well-equipped gym on site, complete with 3 good-quality cardio machines (elliptical, bike, & treadmill), a small selection of dumbbells, and a plate-loaded multigym/safety rack. Also a few benches and other odds and ends. We had some great workouts here. The pool and restaurant are very attractive and trendy. We enjoyed our excellent daily poolside a la carte breakfasts, and ate an evening meal here as well – excellent burgers! There are a few friendly felines roaming the property as well. Overall we had an amazing stay and can’t really find anything negative to say. We would love to stay here again and recommend it to other travelers.

La struttura interna della stanza è stretta, la sensazione è la piastra, non molto isolata, così non ci sono molte persone che soggiornano durante le elezioni generali. Le finestre sono chiuse, non possono essere aperte, la colazione è buona, ma il stile della colazione è in pratica lo stesso ogni giorno

Hotels are supposed to be your home away from home, and in the 10 years I have been traveling, mostly Africa, 34 African countries, and counting, this has been true until King Fahd. My stay in each country is an average of 3 weeks. I get to know the staff and begin to feel welcome and comfortable; there are always small things, but they generally work out with the help of a willing and able staff. This hotel is convenient to work, and as its website boasts, caters to the business clientele, and has WI-FI, if I come back to Senegal, I will stay somewhere else and make do with the traffic. The housekeeping staff at King Fahd will try to accommodate you, and they do as well as possible, given the rules, but the rooms don’t get much of deep cleaning. The view can also be grand, but you have to ask specifically for a room with a view. Ms Khady Diatta at the front desk is always warm and welcoming very professional and made any front desk transaction seamless. Sadly she is but one. King Fahd is uncomfortable from the beginning, you get some help but not without having to beg for help/service from 3-4 different people. They are the most untrained “hospitality” staff I have encountered, and they will tell you what they think you want to hear, not the truth. Zero communication amongst staff. The WI-FI will not work for hours to days, but they will be surprised when you tell them it is not working if you complain to enough people; in my case, 5 people in one day. They sent two people in the AM to confirm the trouble with WI-FI, but they were not IT, and nothing came of it. I Spoke 2 times to the manager (Fatou Naiaye), 2 hours apart, and she told me they had hotspots available. I have never been more uncomfortable after interacting with a manager than with this manager, who became angry, just short of yelling at me after I tried to explain my frustration with the many things promised but unavailable in this hotel. The restaurant for breakfast is a whole other YUCK; the same wet sponge is used to “clean” the table and mat, swipe the mat, but there is a layer of forearm sweat lingering on the tables that, even after I pointed out made the server giggle and made no more effort to clean. There is no spray disinfectant for cleaning. That said, if you show up to breakfast after 7:00 AM, on my first Sunday, they haven’t rid up the tables or reset them, so you have to go look for flatware and napkins as well as a spot to eat, and they literally ask you what you are looking for!! Same breakfast food every day for three weeks. This is when I decided I couldn’t eat in there just take bananas and yogurt; I tried to leave with two pieces of bread on a plate and yogurt with a spoon to my room but was chased down by Maître ď, who took my plate and spoon, now with two pieces of bread in fist and yogurt back to the room. Apparently, the restaurant manager will not allow flatware or plates/bowls to leave unless it is room service. The rooms are musty and damp, even th

Le camere sono pulite, il personale è molto amichevole, e il cibo è fantastico! Ci è una bella piscina con sedie e asciugamani. Ci è un fitness e spa di dimensioni decente. Offrono navi dall'aeroporto all'hotel su richiesta, quindi consiglio di inviare un'e-mail all'hotel per fornire le informazioni di volo prima dell'arrivo.
