Guest Reviews

• Wade (10/5): Great small hotel in great location in Almadies - A great hotel, very good location, rooms were lovely and spacious. Garden and pool downstairs were also very nice. Would definitely stay here again on next trip to Dakar.
• Victor (10/5): - This is an amazing hotel in Dakar! Great community and close to supermarket and great restaurants ! Love this hotel and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Feels like home, rooms are big and comfortable and breakfast amazing. I didn’t use the pool but was clean!
• Ellen (4/5): - Inte värt pengarna! Bra läge och trevlig personal. Slitet rum. Vattnet var mer eller mindre avstängd under hela vår vistelse och när den var igång så var det superdåligt tryck. Kommer inte tillbaka!
• Olga (10/5): - A very nice and comfortable boutique hotel, quite and extremely clean. 3 minutes to the ocean.
• Linda (8/5): - I have stayed at La Residence probably 5-6 times over the last 5-6 years. It is a lovely spot close to great dining options by the sea. Some of the rooms are quite spacious. The standard ones are fine. The pool and bar area are inviting. All of the staff are helpful but I would say that most are not very pleasant which is not usual for Senegal which is known for its Terranga. The property could also use a bit of renovation. But I am likely to continue to return unless another reasonably priced place in Les Almadies comes up. This quartier is my favorite when staying in Dakar - quiet, lots of amenities, less traffic and convenient to getting down and around town.
• Abdon (8/5): - All ok
• Bijou (10/5): - It is my second time staying there, still as good as the first time. The restaurant options are limited, perhaps they need more staff
• Vadim (10/5): - A beautiful hotel. In an amazing part of Dakar, everything is walkable, the beach is close, amazing food. The workers are absolutely amazing
• Kim (10/5): - Very nice , quiet, clean property with nice staff.
• Navpreet (2/5): - The place itself was ok. One of the workers stole our AirPods. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Bed was comfortable.
• Karen (10/5): - Great location. Really pleasant and clean rooms. The staff were incredible especially our check in guy.
• Verified traveler (10/5): seeking a 'home away from home'. - Finding a hotel that offers the comfort and warmth of a home can truly enhance your travel experience. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, amenities like a cozy restaurant, a well-stocked bar, and a friendly, welcoming staff contribute to a memorable stay. Such establishments not only provide a place to rest but also enrich your journey with a sense of belonging and relaxation, making them an excellent choice for travelers seeking a 'home away from home'.
• Grant (10/5): - Fantastic. Great value. Great location. Exceptionally clean and quiet. The friendly staff are very accommodating. It is a beautiful boutique hotel. The onsite restaurant is very nice and the hotel is walking distance to countless other nearby beachfront restaurant options. Highly recommended.
• Louisa (10/5): - We had a lovely time staying at La Residence. The location in les Almadies is quiet, and is conveniently located near many restaurants and bars by the ocean. If we ever visit Dakar again, we’ll definitely be staying here again.
• Arun (8/5): - Excellent value for money hotel. Little old
• Elinor (10/5): Bra hotell - Mysigt litet hotell i fint område. Personalen var supertrevlig och hjälpsam. Prisvärd frukost och stora rum.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice stay for our family on our 1st trip to Dakar - The staff was very friendly and always willing to help us have a great stay. We enjoyed the meals we ate at the hotel as well. They made it easy for us to navigate Dakar as first time visitor
• Frode (8/5): - The location is perfect for a vacation. You are close to everything you would need. Rooms are big and clean all over exept the walls. The staff is very friendly and helped as much they good even doh their english is not perfect. Breakfast was good the first they, then they by some reason change it to something else. Overall happy with my stay and would recommend them for a week vacation in Dakar.
• Soraya (10/5): - Très belle maison au décor simple, sans chichi, des espaces lumineux et très propre. Un personnel très accueillant. Petit déjeuner buffet très bon pour démarrer la journée, ainsi que les plats au restaurant de l'établissement. Une belle référence pour Dakar.
• Mattie (10/5): - The people at this property were very nice and respectful. I loved the idea a car was called for wherever we wanted to go and they were able to take us to all the activities
• Peter (10/5): La Residence is Impressive - La Residence is a great hotel. Clean. Friendly. Peaceful. It was a great refuge from the hustle and bustle of Dakar. I could smell the cleanliness on entering the premises. I highly recommend this place.
• Pierre (10/5): - Staff unbelievably friendly and helpful. Hotel quiet and tasteful, even classic, vibe
• Linda (10/5): - Lovely small hotel. Close to the beach and many restaurants and bars. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
• Donald (10/5): - Our stay at La Residence Dakar was very pleasant!!! Quiet, pleasant staff, great breakfast with super coffee. Very nice choice in Almadies!!!
• adam (10/5): - Very comfortable hotel in good location. Top marks for the excellent and helpful English-speaking staff, who go the extra mile. Highly recommend!!
• Ernestine (10/5): - Staff helped with translations & currency exchange...Chef Yao is a Master, the food service and staff were wonderful We are grateful
• Loretta (10/5): - It felt like being at home.
• SERING (8/5): - Not too bad given the price.
• Whitney (10/5): - Cozy rooms. Wonderful staff. Great location-- several food, entertainment, and shopping options nearby.
• William (10/5): One of my favorite hotels ever - This was my favorite of the four hotels I stayed at in Dakar. The room and the hotel in general were beautiful, well maintained and super comfortable. Lots of areas to relax around the hotel, including the lobby, bar area, dining areas, the pool, etc. Definitely would suggest that everyone give it a try.
• Steven (10/5): - Each staff member was wonderful. I stayed a total of 3 days. I would have stayed two more but they were sold-out. This place felt like a home away from home. Continental breakfast was good each morning. I ate dinner there one night. I had stead, salad and fries. DELICIOUS!
• Verified traveler (8/5): clean boutique hotel - boutique hotel great for an off the path place. very clean and very comfortable bed. The hotel is not actually on the beach and some rooms do not have ocean views. The grounds are small, intimate with several small areas in the main reception area for sitting and relaxing.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet, private, secluded
• Verified traveler (10/5): - All good except for the exchange rate issues! I pay in $ they convert in euros then charge in local currency FCFA. In the end I loose so much wit all these transactions!
• Carlyne (8/5): Felt at home - Cry clean place and I felt at home in the location. It is best to pay directly if you don’t want to be involved in the exchange rate discussions. Overall very nice place and I would stay here again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - La Residence was very clean and spacious. We loved the pool and courtyard area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Petit hôtel agréable avec piscine aux Almadies. Personnel agréable et répondant aux attentes. Quartier sûr.
• John (10/5): - The French owners, husband and wife, were gracious and their hotel is beautiful with a short walk to the ocean with good restaurants. The suit that I got had a private balcony which I use every night. The staff were very friendly and professional. You can always find something wrong wherever you stay, but the only thing I found wrong they corrected immediately the following day while I was at work. The restaurant and the chef is fantastic. I ate most of my meals there because of convenience and good menu excellently prepared. I will definitely stay there the next time I go to Dakar!
• Shawnie (10/5): Fantastic place hidden gem - The staff is excellent!!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Séjour agréable - Hôtel agréable, personnel discret mais serviable. Petit bémol pour le petit déjeuner, qui n'est pas inclus dans le prix et dont le tarif nous semble élevé pour ce qui est proposé.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - it's an easy location, charming and friendly. Would definitely stay again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Rooms were large and very clean. Staff extremely attentive and professional. No complaints.
• Lydie (8/5): - Check in and out were efficient and easy. The pristine rooms and the overall quietness of the place are the best feature of La Residence. (Had one on the second floor with a little balcony). I was disappointed with the pool as it was not clean the day I was ready for a swim, but did not check again on other days. Service could be a bit more hospitable.
• damien (10/5): Calme et confort - Du calme et de l’espace dans un endroit charmant ! Nombreux restaurants à coté.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I’ve stayed here several times, when I come to Dakar for work. It’s a great place for those on business or holidays, as it’s very quiet, comfortable, and located near the oceanfront. I’ve stayed in various types of rooms - from standard to a suite - and found the amenities in all of them to be great. Highly recommend.
• laura (4/5): Better double check you really have a reservation! - We had one reservation for the first three nights and then this separate one. we arrived at 12:30 am after long travels and they said they did not have our reservation. I showed them on my phone and had it printed out. they said they could only give us a room for the first two nights and did not even honor the rate we had. We had to move to the confernce hotel at the last minute and that ended up costing $300 per night per room. The customer service was non existent.
• Peter (10/5): Excellent little hotel/guest-house - Excellent service, location and comfort. Try and get the little room above the pool!
• Dietmar (8/5): Unterkunft mit Erholungsfaktor - Angenehmes, kleines Hotel. Etwas versteckt gelegen zwischen Botschafter-Wohnungen. Sehr ruhig, abgesehen vom hyperaktiven Hahn in der Nachbarschaft. Idyllischer Garten mit Swimmingpool und geschmackvolle Dekors der Zimmer. In unmittelbarer Nähe jede Menge Strandbars.
• Torgny (8/5): Trevligt boende gångavstånd havet - Hotellet var rent, stora rum. Duschen hade lite vattentryck. Sparsamt med schampo o liknande, ingen hårfön, poolen var halvfylld - okänt varför. Bra frukost o bra service.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Was in Senegal for business and this hotel was perfectly fine. The bed was a bit hard for my liking, and the towels (though clean) seemed rougher than traditional bath towels. Overall a good hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This hotel is 2 blocks' walking to great restaurants, has a fantastic outdoor space, ample covered lounging space, quiet, and the rooms are good-sized. And their is someone there 24 hours, ready to fix any issues you might have. I don't give it top marks for a few reasons: 1) I had a horrible ant problem in my bathroom. There were dead carcasses all over the floor that perhaps housekeeping should've notified the staff about. Once I asked them to take care of the groups of probably hundreds of ants on the ceiling, they didn't come back in hordes. But, still some ants (meh, no big deal). They really need to put ceiling fans in the rooms. During the cool season (and, it gets cold), the room is stuffy, so needs some ventilation, but the AC is too cold. And no heavy blanket in the room, just in case. The restaurant has a limited dinner menu, but they might be able to make you something else, if you ask. Really nice breakfast and dessert (with a few things on offer). I feel like they need some slightly better wine on offer. I stay at a similar lodge in town, and they have much better wine. :) Finally, they have fantastic wifi. But, overall, my favorite aspect of the hotel is the outdoor and lounging space, and great location to beach restaurants.
• Dietmar (10/5): Ruhe in der Stadt - Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Nebenstrasse, in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft von Botschaftsresidenzen. Nettes kleineres Hotel mit einem wunderbaren Garten, der zum entspannten Verweilen einlädt. Dekoration mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. In unmittelbarer Nähe befindet sich ein Strand, wo man von mehreren lokalen Restaurants/Bars den Surfern zuschaen kann.
• Carol (10/5): Outstanding Choice - Can’t recommend this hotel more highly. It is an oasis of peace in Dakar. Spotlessly clean room and public areas. Not a speck of dust is hard to achieve in dusty Dakar. Peaceful garden area for relaxing, very obliging staff. We had a superior room which was large and well decorated. Great choice.
• S (8/5): Great Business Hotel Close to Most - Overall, the hotel is a great place to stay. Quiet, excellent wi-fi, has a pool and nice outdoor grounds, good location for those working with donors, implementing partners, and some embassies. Walking distance to several restaurants, but they are all on the beach, so sort of seafood oriented. Which isn't a bad thing, but not too varied. Hotel breakfast very nice, but expensive. Dinner is fine, but also a bit pricey and does not include dessert (whereas other similar hotels do). The wine is not very good at all, which is a bit surprising to me. But, the rooms are VERY nice, comfortable, a/c works correctly. The bathrooms have great counter and storage space and nice hot shower water. Each room has a nice patio area with great table and relaxing seating. My favorite was the grassy area around the pool with nice lounge chairs. This hotel books up quickly, so do not hesitate to book here. Airport shuttle service to new (very far away airport) a good value, all things considered.
