Hôtel La Résidence

La ubicación

Habitación muy antigua y pequeña.

I loved the character that the hotel has. The staff at breakfast were so sweet and kind. The late night receptionist who was an older gentleman had no customer service and we had to call to let them know we were checking in late and he was poor at communication. The room itself had an issue with the shower water going on the floor. So based on these it’s not value for money. Also the towel on the floor was dirty. Better off staying with locals or at an airbnb. The restaurant was cool though and staff the guys who served us there helped salvage the hotel. Also the cleaning ladies were super sweet!

Great stay and very atmospheric building. With an excellent breakfast.

Happy to be back in the heart and soul of Saint Louis. The Residence is more than a place. It's the historical center of a city whose past and future are connected, where religions and people mingle, where the Fleuve Sénégal joins the sea.

The location. Rooftop view. Breakfast included but they stopped service at 10.10 while it says 10.30 on the room.

Staff was not very welcoming. Cleaners opening your door without knocking. Stuff got missing from the room. Room was tiny, too small to be comfortable. We got one on 3rd floor with no lift and no warning so if this is an issue you better communicate with the hotel beforehand.

Small and busy little hotel. Great location in the middle of everything, so a short walk to many places. Rooms were small, but quiet which was a great surprise considering how much activity there was outside. Comfortable beds. Breakfast was plentiful and set out buffet style with lots of items. The bar area is very attractive and great for spending a few hours. The pool is a walk away and looked lovely, though we did not manage to use it.

Nice colonial hotel, very central position. I can see why it has so many good reviews, but somehow overrated (see what I didn't like). The bar has a really nice setting. Staff was really nice and helped us find transport back to Dakar (Dem Dikk was fully booked and private cars extremely expensive - but they advices on which transport to use - minivan - and the recommendation was spot on).

There was no availability of double room and we were given a twin room: even when pushing the beds next to each other is far from comfortable. The room looks old school and could do with some renovation (forget the "it's part of the charme" of the hotel... it could really do with some love): bathroom has no window makes the room smell like dump after shower. Beddings makes the room look even older (you can see form pictures). The floor of the room would be so much better if it was in wood, rather than tiles. Restaurant slightly overprices (glad we discovered restaurant right next door for the second day). Roof terrace too quiet and windy to be even considered for either breakfast of a night cup. Breakfast is ok (continental breakfast, with possibility of getting omelette)
