My stay at Novotel Dakar was a mixed experience. While the location is fantastic with a lovely outdoor area and some amazing views, the service left much to be desired. The rooms felt a bit dated, and I encountered several issues with the breakfast service that needed attention.

I had a decent stay at Novotel Dakar, but it felt a bit overpriced for what I got. The breakfast spread was nice, and the poolside area was enjoyable, but my room left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's okay for a short visit, but I wouldn't necessarily rush back.

Rooms

The rooms felt a bit cramped and older, with tiny windows that made them feel even smaller. The cleanliness wasn't up to par, and I noticed some mold issues that were concerning. While the shower pressure was good, the overall comfort of the room was average.

Location

The hotel is centrally located right near downtown Dakar, close to markets and restaurants. However, I was advised against walking to the beach at night for safety reasons. It’s convenient during the day, though.

Dining

Breakfast was a mixed bag—lots of variety but lacking in cheese options. The buffet dinner was decent but also on the higher side, given what I found elsewhere. I appreciated the baked goods and fruit selection, but coffee quality could improve.

Facilities

The hotel had a good pool area and offered services like room service and tours. The overall facilities seemed standard but I was a bit concerned about security after hearing some stories. It's nice to have the taxi service readily available too.
