Sandanga lies roughly midway on Plateau center in Dakar and is the biggest of Dakar`s markets. If you are not familiar with African markets is worth a visit, but be careful with your valuables and do not be fooled to follow strangers. Sandanga is a mix of flea market and tourist market. It is fussy and chaotic and sellers are ongoing. Try to visit Sandanga early in the morning. It is less crowded at that time of day and fruits and vegetables are fresh and look attractive.

The hotel is nice and well-located. Facilities are also good. However, I noticed that some of the rooms need to be updated. Also, when I arrived, there were nontowels in my room. I had to call the lobby to get towels.
