Smooth standards, good service, bland in character - it's a Novotel alright...
Dakar's most beautiful place, with stunning sea-view rooms in imaginative Arab-African design...
If you can bear the kitsch seafarer's decor, this is a great place to view the ocean from cabin-style ro...
It looks modest and half-hidden in a side street, but Hôtel Farid has some of the best-maintained rooms ...
This place is ageing a little but still retains some of its lustre. Ask for room 103 - the only one with a terrace. The bar, restaurant and disco downstairs offer plenty of nightlife within minimum staggering distance.
Behind a humble entrance hide some nicely maintained and neatly equipped apartments. This is a good-value option for self-caterers.
Overpriced hide-out for old-fashioned, armchair-lounging cigar smokers. The restaurant is excellent though, and renowned for its quality French cuisine.
North of Marché Kermel, this is a pleasant old-style place with spotless rooms and larger apartments. Rates are good value for Dakar. There's a relaxed bar-restaurant with a pretty courtyard offering a good menu du jour (menu of the day).
Far enough from the city centre to feel like you're getting away from it all, and close enough to feel the heat, this comfortable, friendly place on the coast is great value.
This place isn't too bad for a part-time brothel. Just make sure you get a room upstairs to avoid most of the noise.
If you want to relax in style, this ingenious construction overlooking the ocean is the place to go. For the real royal treatment, book yourself into one of their villas for a small briefcase of dollars.
In Senegal, auberge often refers to something extremely basic. Though not exactly a glossy address, this one is nicer than many of its namesakes. Rooms have TV and hot water, and there's free Internet access in the reception area.
With decent rooms and friendly staff, this is the best of the Dakar cheapies.
Some call it funky, some call it scruffy. It has great ambience, although a concerted renovating effort wouldn't be lost on this gaudily coloured place.
Never mind the sinister looking lobby, rooms are bright and tastefully decorated, all equipped with TV and telephone. The management is friendly and helpful, and the restaurant a popular place with tourists and locals.
This is a tailor-made, personalised hotel with tasteful rooms, bathrooms to enjoy a luxurious shower in, and one of Dakar's best restaurants to boot.
Set in a spacious garden and overlooking a pool, this calm place offers luxury at reasonable rates. Its clever layout makes the hotel feel larger than it is, and the garden setting exudes the right kind of quiet for a relaxing holiday.
Recently renovated, but still feels stuffy.
