ViaVia Senegal Dakar - Hostel
1.5 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (25)
"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.

7.4 out of 10, Good, (3)
"The TV did not work, there were no WiFi and the toilet tank kept running non stop. The morning we were supposed to vacate the premises, they ran after us thinking that we were leaving and not paying the $7 fee, but we were just running errands at around 7 am.

Mind you the room had been paid in full the whole time. "
