    outdoor pool
    friendly vibe
    family atmosphere
    lack of kids' play area

    The outdoor swimming pool was a hit with the kids, and the fitness center was perfect for a quick workout. The overall vibe of the hotel was friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home during our stay.

    In my kids' opinion, a kids' play area would be great.

    evening concerts
    outdoor pool
    weak air conditioning

    I had a lovely three-night stay and really enjoyed the vibrant evening concerts on the terrace and the relaxation by the outdoor pool. The atmosphere was perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring, though I did find the air conditioning in the room could have worked a bit better. I’d definitely recommend checking out the live music if you get a chance! 🎶

    good food
    pleasant breakfast
    spacious room
    mold issue
    service inconsistency
    chaotic lobby

    I stayed in a Standard Double Room with City View for three nights. The location is fantastic, right next to the seaside. The outdoor area is nice, making it a pleasant spot to relax. The room was spacious and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed. The food, particularly breakfast, offered some good options, especially the fresh fruits. However, there were a few noticeable issues. The room had a distinct smell of mold, which was quite uncomfortable. The air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool even after adjusting the settings. Service was hit or miss. often, breakfast items, like bread and tea, ran low. Staff were seen prioritizing their own meals over attending to guests' needs, which seemed unprofessional. Cleaning equipment cluttered the lobby, making it look chaotic. On my first night, there was no food option available late, as room service was limited. When I ordered a pizza, it took over three hours to arrive, and they messed up the order completely. These inconsistencies made my stay less enjoyable than expected.

    peaceful pool

    It was just a balanced option for a cursory stop in Dakar with high value for money. The pool area was peaceful, making it a nice escape from the busier parts of the hotel. Make sure to check the room service options before your stay.

    exceptional service
    clean room
    convenient location
    vehicle access
    minor delays

    The hotel staff provided exceptional service, particularly at the reception, making me feel welcome from the start. The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with instant hot water, which was essential after a long day of meetings. The breakfast was varied and included fresh fruits and pastries, catering perfectly to my business needs. The workspace was efficient, and the ATM and supermarket nearby added convenience for my stay.

    Minor delays in vehicle access to the hotel can be frustrating.

    good experience but needs better service

    The location offered excellent city views, making our mornings delightful. The outdoor area was beautifully landscaped with a garden that felt peaceful and inviting! Dining was a highlight. the quality of food surpassed our expectations.

    Service could be faster during peak hours.

    fresh fruits

    local eats
    excessive security
    cleaning disruptions

    Enjoyed some delightful fresh fruits for breakfast and the lively nearby eateries are a culinary treasure. The cheerful staff added a warm touch to my stay, making everything feel like home.

    Plus, they're misplacing items—definitely a buzzkill.

    comfortable bed
    decent view
    cozy vibe
    small tv
    dated decor

    The room had a decent view of the city, and the bed was pretty comfortable. It wasn't super modern but did have a cozy vibe. The TV was kind of small and placed far from the bed, so watching from there was a bit tricky. Overall, it was okay for a short stay.

    I was deeply impressed by the welcoming atmosphere throughout Novotel Dakar. The outdoor terrace offered stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, perfect for relaxing. The staff were attentive, ensuring I had everything I needed during my stay.
