I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and spacious rooms and a friendly staff. The location was convenient for exploring Dakar, but it did get a bit noisy at night. The dining options were quite limited and the breakfast was a bit bland. Overall, it's a decent value for money, but could use some improvement in the dining department.

I had a pretty good stay overall. The hotel's location is vibrant and puts you right in the heart of Dakar with easy access to restaurants and markets. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, making my stay comfortable. However, I found the dining options to be quite bland and repetitive. Plus, while the service was friendly, there was a bit of a push for larger tips from a bellhop, which felt a bit off. The price seemed reasonable for what I got, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
