King Fahd Palace

I spent one night at the hotel in late August 2018 to attend business meetings. I arrived late at night and they provided me with the most serious upgrade I have ever received due to lack of other room options -- an enormous suite with its own dining room and living space, 2 bathrooms, and a 2 separate balconies. Way too much space for one person but it was a lovely room and I was lucky to get it. The only issue I had was that I contacted the hotel multiple times before arrival to request shuttle transportation from the airport to the hotel and they did not respond to any of my inquiries. Two colleagues traveling from different locations on different flights had the same experience -- emails were not acknowledged and we ended up finding our own transport to the hotel. THe hotel did offer a complementary transfer in their minivan back to the airport upon departure.

Views are nice, but rooms and grounds are outdated. The beach looks like from afar, but all the trash and rocks are not inviting. Buffet is decent if included in your room rate, otherwise outrageously priced. Not a 5 star hotel by US or more developed countries like India standards, but comfortable enough. Walking distance to some good seafood restaurants.

The best employees. Food is good and little overpriced.The promenade is so relaxing and the view from my room was greathe. I give it 5 stars for the hotel and would like to recommend the personnel for the highest prize for its highest quality.

It amazes me why people make such negative about hotels, such as those that appear on Trip Advisor. This hotel is very suitable for most trips whether business or pleasure. Yes it needs some refreshing in some areas but don't we all at a certain age! The staff were excellent and always friendly. Excellent location and quieter than other hotels down the coast line which sit directly in the flight path to the airport. One negative is there is only one restaurant option in the evening but food was very good.

Business Trip. Great beachfront view. Need stronger/stable WIFI connection. Shower leaked on the floor. Bathroom needs repairs/remodeling.

AMAZING cleaning personnel. Hysterical concierge who raised her voice at me and was extremely uncooperative. Rooms are old and moldy. Food isn't great, skip breakfast and any other meals -- just eat outside. Extremely overpriced for the conditions offered. Stay at Radisson Blue.

Outdated

I have been to Dakar on multiple occasions and normally stayed at $60 to $70 hotels around the airport which includes breakfast and have more comfortable and cleaner rooms than the one we stayed in King Fahad. I come from the Gambia and a $173 hotel in the Gambia will provide you a very decent living in a 5 star.

Ideally situated 10 mins. from Yoff airport, in a glorious setting with glorious view out to the Atlantic, not to mention the wonderfully accommodative staff made my two transit stops (of 36 and 48 hrs, respectively), an absolute delight.

The hotel is a business style one, with a run.down appeal. is indeed clean and definitely safe, with useful amenities. But staff ain't great and it's not worth the price, you got better option in town. Good if you have to hold a biz meeting. if on vacation look elsewhere, the whole feeling is to be in a great hotel but a little bit run-down and pricey. they made a lot of trouble for Expedia traveller, did not care about Expedia Gold Membership and not willing to help
