Top Hotels Near Mamelles Lighthouse in Dakar from AU$55

"The highlight of this hotel are the staff who was excellent, especially May and Debo. They helped me with bus tickets, recommendations on beaches and even how much to pay for a shirt. They also helped with laundry and were very responsive to any questions. The hotel was clean and comfortable, everything in my room worked well. The immediate area is a bit of a construction zone but there is everything you need nearby - a shop, a great brunch restaurant / patisserie (Melo's) and a pharmacy. The African monument is a 10 minute walk and visible from outside the hotel. Another 10 minute walk and you are near a good gym (Jobad), burger joint showing football (Esamai) and more shops as well as lots of buses and taxis (or just use Yango which is very reliable). There is a small beach nearby but is mostly blocked by a construction site but you can still sunbath and there is a small bar. Otherwise I recommend to walk or get a taxi to Ngor in the north or Point des Almadies beach."

"The rooms are spacious, but the furniture is old and lacks any real personality. The staff is efficient, yet not particularly attentive to guests, and the information provided was minimal — for example, I was not told that the hotel is connected to a shopping mall. The food was also disappointing. I ordered a rare filet, but it was served completely overcooked and extremely tough. On the positive side, the location is very good, the hotel has a nice pool with bar service, and I was able to book a very pleasant tour through the hotel at a fair price. "

"I had a lovely time at Hotêl du Phare. Charming and clean and really friendly staff!"

"Hotel Boma was wonderful - stylish, modern, clean and relaxing with good wifi. The best part however was the amazing staff particularly the reception and restaurant. I fell ill in the middle of my trip and was cared for like a family member. Profoundly grateful for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown. Highly recommend this lovely spot in Dakar"

"One of our pillows had mold on them and the towels we were handed to use were visibly dirty. We unfortunately won’t be back. "

"Everything was just as stated on the website. The booking and checkin were easy. It was a perfect little get away from the hustle abd bustle of the city. I felt safe and secure here and look forward to staying here again. "

"Great property all and all, and the host was very helpful and superb. The only downside for me is my dad was struggling to get clim those stairs. I think an elevator will be much appreciated. Thx for everything Niang."
