"No microwave for guests"

"High ratings from reviews made me pick this place, but upon arrival at 3 am, I felt like it was a hostel. The bed was tiny, the bedding itchy, and noise began at 6 am, as it’s on a very busy street, with car horns and alarms. I went to the meager breakfast across the street at their somewhat swanky restaurant and was only able to eat fast, as my tour began early. I was about to leave with a banana to go, and was told by 4 waiters, that I could not bring food from breakfast. That was the banana that broke my back and even after he agreed to give me a bigger room and bed, I jumped ship and went to a much nicer hotel by the sea. Dakar is a zoo of traffic and noise, and if you seek some comfort as a 65 year old like me, this was not the place. Perhaps, I’m a princess, but for $100 more a night, the difference was huge! "

"friendly staff, they have a private pool"

"Breakfast goes until 10:00 a.m. At 9:00 a.m., the only food left was bread. The fitness center does not have any equipment that actually works. Things were broken in the room. Not worth staying here."

"Our Family Room could use a little refreshing, but aside from that, our stay was absolutely perfect. The breakfast and lunch kitchen teams were exceptionally kind and attentive, and the reception staff were equally welcoming and professional. I also needed to work during my stay, and the internet connection was excellent — fast, stable, and very reliable, which made a real difference. Food was also diverse and very good. I have stayed in many Novotel properties, particularly across Europe, and this one truly stands out as the best experience I’ve had so far. A special thank you to Ousmane, Safietou, and the lovely lady welcoming guests at the restaurant entrance for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. We will gladly return."

"Perfect location, excellent food, hospitable and helpful staff. Walkable to local markets and the beach. Only negative is it's not for light sleepers unless you can do ear plugs or headphones because the walls are thin. Would recommend."

"The buffet was. from the Novotel hotel.. Ibis styles does not have breakfast or anything to eat."

"Don’t do it. Was excited about the stay after eating at the restaurant on my last trip to Dakar. The two experiences were not the same. Massively dated hotel with fridges not working, furishings falling apart, no amenities, and a room and bathroom full of mosquitoes. Luck it was one night. Just don’t. "

"staff, amenities room cleaning every thing was perfect. I recommand rooms and suites in front of the sea. "
