Casa Mara Dakar

"The restaurant is very good, although a bit expensive. The hotel is very clean. The staff wasn't helpful at all and were very slow. Don't change money there because the exchange rate is very poor."

La Villa 126 Dakar

"I really liked this hotel. I stayed here three times, I used Dakar as a base for about three months of travel in West Africa. It's a comfortable hotel, not really a Western style chain hotel in style but with everything you need, large rooms, a comfortable bed, air conditioning and a common area that was very nice. The location is safe, with a lot of residences in the area but there isn't much to do in the immediate area, a nice supermarket nearby, some small restaurants and boulangerie, not much else. The hotel itself has a nice restaurant, I didn't try it until my last stay but wish I had earlier. Awa, who runs things, was very easy to deal with. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It's a lot like staying in someone's house, in a good way. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Dakar. The prices here are much better than some of the other Western style box hotels I have stayed at in Dakar and other Weest African countries, but it is still very comfortable and the service really sets the hotel apart. Only two things. One, I had a slight booking problem, it wasn't really the hotel's fault, they told me there were no rooms available when I tried to change the dates on one stay, but ******* accepted the reservation anyway. All I can say is that perhaps you should avoid ******* to reserve a room here. *********** worked just fine, as did contacting the hotel directly. The last thing was the internet. It was quite unpredictable in the room. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not. I suspect it had to do with the router, as more people were online, it slowed down quite a bit. Since I work on the road, I usually have both an unlimited data sim card, which worked fine (4 bars of LTE through Holafly) and Starlink (which I didn't have to use). On the main floor, in the lobby/sitting room, it always worked and had no speed limitations. I did a couple of Zoom meetings no problem."
