  • 3/5 Domitilla Di M. 3 years ago on Google • 339 reviews
    Cannot rate the hotel as we only came for food. Visited my sister in Dakar and we went several times to the upstairs bar/dining area as there was the football European Championship and Hôtel Du Phare offers big screens to watch it. I was not a guest at the hotel, so I cannot comment on the rooms, but I can say the terrace is lovely and the service is also okay. We had both pizza and burgers and both were good - pizza was a surprise, and I'm Italian. The terrace is a nice space for parties, for dinners and also for a nice evening with friends enjoying a few drinks. We also managed to catch one evening where they were showing a movie and that was nice - around 15/20 seats and the volume/quality was good. I think the negative part of this place is how expensive it is, in Africa but with full on European prices. Not cool.

    It's rooftop bar is a nice place to enjoy draft beer and varoius 🍕 while watching the rotating light of the Mamelles lighthouse. Pizza is baked in oven. It tastes good. This hotel used to be a perfect place to enjoy the night view of the monument of the African Renaissance, built in 2010. Due to recent buildings surrounding the hotel, it is not possible to see it anymore.

    Waited 90 minutes for salad and pizza, and once it was finally delivered and partially consumed, the waitress took it away saying that she gave us the wrong pizza. She brought back another with American cheese and chicken, definitely not something we ordered. Disappointing and unprofessional.

    What did I just pay for??? Who made this budget hotel cost so much?? The only thing this place has going for it is a nice (rich) neighbourhood and a good pizza oven. The rooms are very basic, the hot water in the bathroom doesn’t work, the breakfast is pitiful and overpriced (2,000 CFA for bread and butter??), and the rooftop terrace it boasts about is totally overrated. The view is mediocre, the place is crowded and very noisy at night, and covered with the previous evening’s garbage in the morning. The pictures online might look nice, but this hotel feels like just an afterthought- just something to do with the space under the rooftop bar. They should lower the prices to match the service/accommodation, then I wouldn’t be disappointed. One thing I will say in praise- they seem to have the fastest wifi in all of west Africa, so thanks for that.

    Affordable hotel in Dakar with great roof-top bar location. The rooms were basic but clean. Located on dirt road behind the mini-car stop at round point Mamelles, about 400-500 meters. Recommended to call for reservations, but walk-ins don't seem like an issue unless you want a particular room. We opted for the shared bathroom and it was clean and not an issue. Would have no problem doing this again.

    Look I may be biased due to me living very close but this little Mamelles wonder is a GEM.. ..The upstairs on sunset is pretty good spot to take it in...Great place to meet people and chill... Enjoy..

    Good place to have a drink on the rooftop they have 'pression' beer. but your food be served a little bit late because of a lot of delivery command. approximately 1h to have your meal. but it's nice place. sometimes they have movie night.

    Great simple hotel, not fancy but with a very kind atmosphere

  • 5/5 penelope t. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place! Rooms are very confortable and clean, beds are amazing! Actually rooms just have been renovated. A major asset, rooms are clean with an ozone generating machine. On the roof top, a pizzeria and a bar complete the place. Pizza are delicious. Employees ares friendly and well trained. The hospitality and good food are highly recommended.

    The receptionist is very friendly. The owner responded to emails promptly. But I didn’t find neither the facility nor the services to be worthy $70 per night. There are much cleaner, nicer, and cheaper places in Dakar.

    Haven't had all the pleasure to explore the whole place but I went there and there was a projection of a German movie subtitled in french and a lot of people were screening it, eating some pizza at the rooftop. 9pm. The whole ambiance was cool.

😠 Horrible service and not so good food. Waitresses are lazy and rude, and meat served is not always fresh. Quality of restaurant has dropped with new ownership as current owner focuses more on decor and marketing. Only good thing about this restaurant is the location.

😠 I came in, ordered a coffee and a brioche. I'm not Senegalese; I'm a foreign visitor, and last I retrieved money from the bank, I could only get round numbers, no change. I didn't have 1,100 CFAs, only 1,500, so when I ordered, they told me they would have to send someone to get change. This was fin...
