Hôtel Le Djoloff

Bel hôtel, déco de goût et jolis matériaux. Petit déjeuner très bon avec produits frais et "fait maison". Le wifi n'est pas très fiable mais fonctionne bien dans les parties communes. Service agréable, bonne literie

Comfortable and quiet from outside noise (though very loud when people were in hallway). Room was clean and small. Staff was nice enough but completely disengaged. Distracted on the phone, with friends or took a series of detailed questions to get one answer such as "how do we get on the list to see music Saturday night." On that note, do NOT miss hearing jazz there Saturday night if it overlaps with your stay and get on the guest list early for a ticket. Food at restaurant is fine, atmosphere is pleasant. Little English spoke, not different from most of Senegal, you can get by.

Clean and friendly. Great service!! Lovely place to call home in Dakar.

Excellent, reasonably-priced hotel. Breakfast on the roof-top terrace with expansive ocean veiws was great. Cool place - was an excellent find!

I had a really bad experience at the Djoloff. I do not recommend it to anyone going to Dakar for Business. Basically, they destroyed one of my suit when washing it. They refused to repay it arguing that will send a new one. And of course, even 3 months later I am still waiting for an answer of them. The hotel is okay but the attitude of the people at the reception is kind of dishonest. J’ai eu une très mauvaise expérience au Djoloff. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel à des personnes allant à Dakar pour le business. Ils ont détruit un de mes pantalons de travail en le lavant . Ils ont ensuite refusé de le rembourser. 3 mois après, j’attends toujours une réponse de leur part. L’hôtel est ok mais l’attitude de la réception et de la directrice assez malhonnête.

The hotel staff are reliable and courteous and booked my 4 am taxi departure and generally put up with my complete lack of French; anyone I talked to at reception had a good enough command of English to be able to help. The hotel itself is a work of art -- a joy to discover, go up and down the hallways and staircases, look inside and out at the flowers and paintings and architecture. I was not bothered by noise except for a few cats howling for long-lost companions past midnight. The surrounding area is not so great, giving this small and well-guarded hotel the feeling of a fortress. But, it is close to the beach. Huge jug of free water provided each day. A/C worked good. No mosquito net, but guess it wasn't needed, because I wasn't bitten. A tea and kettle maker would have been nice. Room was in good condition. Would stay again.

This hotel has a very nice view and is quite modern. The first day I was put in a room on the ground floor right by reception and was worried about the noise and a window that wouldn't lock. Also, it turned out the air conditioning didn't work! When I asked for a different room, they took some time, but eventually I got a room on the second floor with everything working. The breakfasts were unfortunately not included, but they were good!

I have to confess that I only stayed one night, arriving at the hotel at about 10pm and being collected for a tour at 8.30am the next morning! Airport pick-up was arranged quickly and easily and it was such a relief when I arrived in Senegal feeling pretty exhausted. When we pulled up outside the hotel, I was relieved to see the flowers as it looked friendly and welcoming. Staff were friendly and wifi was good. Some road noise overnight though

The room was clean, the staff were friendly, just great. Better value for money than a lot of the Western style hotels. Make sure you try the rooftop restaurant in the evening, its breezy and a welcome break from the heat! The only bad thing is a lot of the locals also come to the rooftop bar so can be busy and noisy till late if you are trying to get to sleep early.
