Super lovely, peaceful and clean. The location is perfect - calm but also very close to some sights and beach areas. The staff is very kind and helpful - they can helps arrange taxis, buses (to Saint Louis for example) and cash exchanges. The rooftop space is amazing for relaxing and some nights has fun stuff going on life movie night.

The location ended up being perfect and felt safe, quiet, and comfortable. There was an issue with the water while I was there, and for most of my stay, there was only water about 30% of the time due to the maintenance of the neighborhood's water tower. The staff was very hands off but easy to get ahold of and very accommodating. The hotel rooftop is also a gem, and a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. Even with the issue of the water I would stay here again when I return to Dakar. I was concerned about the location but it ended up being a great jumping point and was close to many points of interest and easy to catch a taxi from. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen Jun 19, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### More of a hostel than hotel Without the sweet receptionist this place would be too uncomfortable Rooms - very basic food - meh hotel manager brusque to the point of hostility location quiet and safe. Backpacker hostel not hotel ##### Karen Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Gerard Jan 11, 2019 Liked: Staff & service ##### Gerard Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Sep 21, 2018 #### Value for location and cost We had a conference nearby, hotel du phare was a backup hotel. The accommodations were satisfactory. The restaurant on the roof served excellent pizza. I work globally and stay in many hotels like this: clean, quick service, friendly and a working air conditioning. Sadly it lacked hot coffee in the morning, a slight inconvenience for some- for me a big issue. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Zed Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Hotel-Zed-Kelowna.h15450697.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Aluna Tulum by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Kimpton-Tulum.h61573622.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites St. Petersburg - Madeira Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-St-Petersburg-Madeira-Beach.h16714701.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Salmon Arm](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmon-Arm-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d6138741-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Walt Disney World Swan Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Swan-Reserve.h63988543.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Longview](https://www.expedia.ca/Longview-Hotels.d8553.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Secrets-Playa-Mujeres-Golf-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h7874912.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lac-Superieur](https://www.expedia.ca/Lac-Superieur-Hotels.d6155034.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5000 Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-5000-Motel.h7242289.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Tobago](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Tobago-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602308-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hyatt Place Austin Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Austin-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Austin-Downtown.h5437747.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d178286-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels near Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maldives-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d109-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Dublin (DUB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/dub/calgary-to-dublin) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Fuzhou (FOC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/foc/toronto-to-fuzhou) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Konya (KYA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/kya/toronto-to-konya) > > [Flights from Vienna (VIE) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/vie/yvr/vienna-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/yyz/mumbai-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Bangor (BGR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/bgr/halifax-to-bangor) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/yow/miami-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yow/edmonton-to-ottawa) ### Activities > [Things to do in The Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-The-Blue-Mountains.d6129678.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Tapachula Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Tapachula.d3367.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Seville Cathedral](https://www.expedia.ca/Seville-Cathedral-Historical-Center.d502758.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Downtown Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Downtown-Fort-Lauderdale.dx800035)
