Basic no-frills place near bus stations

Posted 7 Jan 2019 on Hotels
Accommodation in Dakar can be quite expensive and this place fulfills a niche that is rather lacking. It is located close to the major bus stations and is super convenient for those staying for the night between long-distance bus trips. It is located close enough to the sights in town that it might also be suitable as a base for exploring Dakar itself. The rooms are clean, the electricity and water work, the staff speak some English, wifi works in the common area, and there are a few decent restaurants in the neighborhood. All in all, a good budget option for a short stay.

This property is nice little oasis inside of the city of Dakar. The rooms are basic but clean except the cleaner does need to look up sometimes to clean the cobwebs that I saw in my bathroom by the mirror. Food was good & breakfast was okay.

Ok for one night.

Stayed in group room for one night. Bathroom area was less than desirable. Staff is very nice. Breakfast was ok, bread and spreads. Easy to get a taxi in the area.

Good

Posted 3 Oct 2017
Pros: the look and location- close to the airport/close to downtown.
Cons: If possible- air conditioning and hot water.
Location: There is the beach (a 5-minute walk), many buses travel to other parts of Dakar.
Good location- great transportation in the area. If you are a non-smoker do not sit in the courtyard too long- many people smoke. However, there is no smoking in the bedrooms which is great. Rooms sometimes get hot even with an oscillating fan. Flies during meals can be a nuisance, but the staff is very accommodating and the turtles are super friendly.

A great location and place

Posted 17 Jul 2017 on Orbitz
Location: Walk down to the beach of Yoff- this neighborhood is unlike anything I've ever seen. A trip to the downtown of Dakar is good as well.
I stayed here on a few day trip to Senegal. I was quite impressed with the entire place. The neighborhood of Yoff is a nice and special place, and it is not too far from the city center. The room was nice, and had western appliances. Additionally, there are mosquito nets and a good and working fan. The included breakfast is good.

Easy location, affordable and friendly

Posted 13 Jul 2017 on Hotels
Via is a good option for a budget traveler in Dakar, where lodging is rather expensive. Far from the center of town, it is is still easy to get a taxi right in front of the hotel at any time. They give you a nice breakfast and the courtyard area is a nice place to sit, although cushions are in need of an upgrade. The room was fine, slightly damp and humid but clean and with a bathroom in the room. Nothing fancy but a pleasant stay.

It is perfectly located in a great neighborhood.

I was looking around on hostel world for a good, cheap place to stay, but came across this hotel/hostel online. It is amazing. I can not recommend it enough. The staff was great and helped with organizing three great tours, I highly recommend them. They helped with airport pickup as well, and always negotiated a good taxi rate for me in the city as well.
