Amazing staff, wonderful panorama

Thanks to Mamadou and Omar and everyone else for a great stay

Nice terraces with a beautiful view of Ngor island. The beach is right next door. You hear the waves from your room even. At night there is a guard watching the door but still make sure to lock your door from the inside as well. The room is reasonably sized and overall acceptably clean and is cleaned on a daily. The bed is comfortable too. When it comes to the staff Omar is really nice and helpful. He went with me to buy a sim card on my first day and even lent me the money for it. They were honest about the place with the best conversion rate, which is within walking distance from the hotel, just on the main road. The staff did make sure I had a taxi waiting for me at the airport, as planned. They also made sure that I got one to take me all the way to Saly. They were overall nice. The walk from the taxi drop-off (place Ngor) to the hotel is not even a 2 minute walk. In the vicinity you have a few nice restaurants. You can even get a sandwich from one of the stands like the locals do. Trust me they are actually not that bad and cheap. Almedies area is not too far either. That is the busy area with lots of restaurants/lounges/bars. You can get taxis to pretty much anywhere in Dakar from Ngor (Plateau is about 35 minutes from there), just be careful to not get ripped off. Again take enough money with you!

A good view and access to the beach. Adequate room space. Good water system, good wifi. Friendly hotel staff.
