Hotel in zona Place Van Vollen Hoven, Dakar

The worst experience!!! Don’t go here. I love had traveling all over the world. I just finished speaking with reception who In the most condescending manner. On my first day they couldn’t find my reservation and put me in a room that I woke up in 2am with bugs all over my bed floor EVERYWHERE! I had bites on my face and body. Including very big cockroaches. They couldn’t even manage to give me that evening as an apology not even a very apology that day. Then after the third room. I’ll add more later with pictures and comments on that. The manager was very nice then only to offer two meals $15 or so. They couldn’t even offer a free shuttle to airport. Which would have made it better instead the receptionist was rude ignoring me while I stood in front of him. Pictures and video coming.

Struttura bellissima, personale gentilissimo, cibo super buono. Lo consiglio a tutte le persone che vogliono il massimo a parità di prezzo. Super felicissimo per essermi rivolto a loro. Pieno centro di Dakar.

Very nice location but one hour from the airport and best to make sure you book a taxi to meet you on arrival. The amenities in the bathroom are excellent. No need to take shampoo soap or lotion, hotel supplies very good quality. I had a Seaview room which was nice, but the rooms dare dark. Buffet breakfast is excellent with the next station doing omelettes and crêpes. Live music on Saturday evening which was excellent also I recommend this hotel

This place is truly awful. I travel Africa for a living so I have experienced many lovely hotels across the continent. This is not one of them. The place is palatial - I would describe it as ”faded decadence, a relic from the past”. The rooms are perpetually damp and uncomfortable, with A/C that cannot be shut off so I spent much of my time freezing in my room. The WIFI is terrible, works intermittently in rooms and not at all in conference areas. The grounds are far too spread out with the conference facilities a 5-10 minute walk from the main building - making it unwieldy to return to your room midday. The food at the restaurant is barely passable. Worse yet, I put a ”do not disturb” sign on my door permanently for the 5 days and nights I was there as I did not want my room cleaned and didn't want anyone entering without me there. Despite that, on at least two occasions, staff tried or did enter my room (once while I was sleeping, which felt a bit creepy). But the worst of all is that somebody entered my room and stole $200 (leaving another $250 behind with the hopes it would not be detected, I am guessing?). At first, the hotel management ”appeared” to take this seriously. They interviewed me not once but twice in their management offices, taking copious notes and asking about lots of detail with lots of pomp and decorum. They said they had cameras and card readers that could identify who the culprit was and promised to take rapid action and get back to me soon. You know how this story ends - I never heard back from them, despite assurances that they would email me the next Monday upon my return to the US. It struck me that they wanted to put up a pretense of ”looking into it”, but the minute they realized I would not make a public fuss about the incident, they fell into inaction. So in conclusion, I would say the hotel is not very safe and management doesn't truly care about security issues. Go somewhere else. Dakar is filled with many wonderful hotels so you won't lack for choice.

Hotel molto ben situato, nel centro di Dakar, nella zona di Plateau Anche se sono stato diverse volte, mi è sembrata una scelta interessante nel centro. Camere spaziose e soprattutto molto pulite, con un buon isolamento termico e acustico. Nel mio caso mi hanno assegnato una camera - suite, con una buona disposizione. La ricezione pecca di essere troppo semplice e la sostituiscono con una buona attenzione e dedizione. Abbiamo fatto il check-in molto veloce nonostante arrivare tardi. La Wi-Fi funziona molto bene in tutti i piani. La colazione è continentale ma molto abbondante, con tortilla, frutta, succo, tostapane, caffè, ecc. , a un prezzo molto piacevole nel ristorante situato accanto all'hotel. In questo stesso cibo si prende e la qualità è molto buona a un prezzo accettabile e con un personale molto attento.
