International Hotel Dakar

“Superseded my expectations”

For the price, I expected average. This hotel is amazing. Gym, restaurant, cityscape view, and 5-star service. It’ in the center of the city so easy access to everything. Highly recommend if you’ll be doing lots of touring. Would definitely stay here again.

“A Good Place”

Nice place to stay even though it sometimes felt like the middle of a street. The staff were very nice and helpful, the breakfast was healthy and filling, a good start to the day. The location was good for all the places we wanted to visit. Even though the light went of sometimes and the wifi did n… more

The location was good for all the places we wanted to visit. Even though the light went of sometimes and the wifi did not always work, I would say we enjoyed our stay here.

“Meh”

I tried to like the hotel. But there were several instances that just did not allow that to happen. When I checked in the young lady was kind. The room was ok, the linens were bleached, and the towels probably haven’t been changed in a while. They weren’t dirty per se, but they were dinghy. The roo… more

I tried to like the hotel. But there were several instances that just did not allow that to happen. When I checked in the young lady was kind. The room was ok, the linens were bleached, and the towels probably haven’t been changed in a while. They weren’t dirty per se, but they were dinghy. The room did appear clean though. Ok, that was night 1. The next day I went out, came back in after seeing the city. The young lady at the desk was kind of rude and flippant. My tour guide asked her abt menu options. She pretty much said the Menu is in the room, she can look there. The tour guide told her she’s here now, at the desk, can you show us? The menu was sitting right there. I only eat seafood, and the menu was in French. We just wanted to know my options, just in case I’d have to go outside the hotel for food. We had a driver waiting. So me running upstairs just to look at the menu while there was one at the desk didn’t make sense. When I’m preparing to check out, I’m packing my things and noticed 2 brand new brassieres were missing. They cleaned my room on Saturday. Usually I don’t like staff to enter my room, but I forgot to hang the “do not disturb sign”. I do this everywhere, so Senegal was no different. Sunday I hung the sign, after I realized they were in my room. My luggage was packed, except for what was hanging in the closet. So I knew someone went through my things. I told the young lady at the desk that 2 items were missing. She told me, this is not possible, and if the cleaning ladies find anything they bring it to the desk. I said I understand, but I’m not crazy, I know what I packed. They were matching sets. I’m here for my birthday, there was a lot of thought put into outfits and such. She told me she’d find out and would get back to me. My tour guide continued the conversation through WhatsApp but gave the wrong cleaning day. Because the day was wrong, they pretty much told her they’ve never been accused of stealing before and that I was lying. When she messaged them with the right day they ignored her. Very unprofessional. I wouldn’t recommend
