    Hotel Lagon is a great choice for travelers looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Dakar. The hotel is conveniently located near the city center and offers easy access to many local attractions. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. The beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning works well, ensuring a comfortable stay even during the hot summer months. The staff at Hotel Lagon is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist with any requests or needs that guests may have. The breakfast buffet is delicious and offers a wide variety of options to choose from. One of the best things about Hotel Lagon is its rooftop terrace, which offers stunning views of the city and the ocean. This is a great place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring Dakar. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Lagon for anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Dakar. The hotel offers great value for money and is sure to make your stay in the city a memorable one.

    The best is the Atlantic ocean view from the balcony of the room, located next to the water. The location is quiet and free from noise and pollution. But the hotel is too compact, not enough space to move around, probably this was cleverly constructed on a reclaimed land, hence they have space constraints. There's no morning coffee and the pantry opens only after 7:30 am, they should have kept a coffee / tea dispenser for the early raisers.

    I always enjoy the food here. I had confit canar (duck) and it was beautifully cooked. It was tender and peeled off the bone clean. I like sitting outside on the deck overlooking the ocean. Great view. The staff are friendly and attentive.

    Part of our honeymoon was spent in this beautiful hotel built like a cruise ship with all the rooms facing the ocean. We got a junior suite and the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The scenery was BREATHTAKING!!! They welcomed us with red rose petals sprinkled everywhere in our room, which was very kind of them. The food was awesome!!! They took great care of us and pampered us from the minute we stepped in until it was time to say good bye. My wife and I did not want to leave this hotel. I highly recommend this place :)

    Nice place over the sea but rooms not much kept clean

  • 5/5 Genghis K. 2 years ago on Google • 57 reviews
    Beautiful setting, really nice staff and the food is simply delicious. The head waiter, seeing we both wanted fish, offered us a monstrous fish to share for 2. I attach a picture of it, honestly, the fish was big enough to feed a hungry family of 4... At least... And he only charged us for 2 individual portions. But the real detail that sometimes goes unnoticed, the chef came out to check if the fish was cooked to our liking, this kind of details is what reassures you that you are at a place where they value quality, fantastic!

    Love this place. One of the most unique hotels I have ever stayed in with a nautical theme throughout, but without feeling clichéd. Good size room with great bed right overhanging the sea. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice pastries for breakfast. Recommend to eat at the sister restaurant, Lagon 1, close to the hotel with its beautiful use of nautical style, right on the sea.

    Only ate in the restaurant but food was nice and our table on a small balcony had the sea gently crashing below. Quiet and in a lovely location.

    I’m in two minds about this hotel - there’s lots of great aspects but equally improvements needed. In the days leading up to my stay I tried to reach out for assistance with transport to the hotel, but there was no response to email and difficulty with English over the phone. Fortunately taxis are easy enough to source at the airport but allow at least an hour, and my return took two hours in peak traffic. Checking in was easy, staff friendly and quickly explained the facilities and although it felt a basic affair it was quick. My room was on the same level as reception and was listed as a Superior Single room. Fortunately this didn’t equate to only having a single bed and the room was pretty spacious. With a tiled floor throughout and effective air-conditioning it was a cool room in the hot weather and with a separated living area by a step it would be comfortable for an extended stay. There was a large desk with kettle but only a single coffee sachet provided, which felt tight despite the single occupancy. There was a large bottle of mineral water. The TV was wall mounted opposite the bed, a decent enough size for the room but with rather poor picture quality and only a single channel in English from the US. The selling point for the hotel rooms is the sea facing views and balconies. This is a nice space with the seats and the sound of waves crashing on the rocks below great, although I’m not sure I’d feel so relaxed during stormy weather! The bathroom was an okay space with plenty of storage space around the sink. Only a single item of each toiletry was provided, and none of them seemed to match, but there were enough towels of good quality. Bizarrely the toilet seat was too small for the actual toilet and there was no form of door or curtain on the shower which made it feel a bit of work-in-progress area. The shower head was good, but with very sensitive temperature control and inconsistent heat, but at least a large unit. Overall it was a comfortable enough room. There were some bugs which could be found, small within the lower living room area, some larger hiding in the gaps around the wardrobe, but not something which couldn’t be put to the back of the mind. A lot of decor appeared to be water damaged and was really due a touch up, both within the bathroom and main bedroom ceiling. Housekeeping weren’t the quietest in the morning, but they observed the privacy sign and there was zero noise from the adjacent rooms. On the lower level is the restaurant, and below that the bar. Both overlook the ocean but have very limited seating outdoors. The air-conditioning inside is very effective and the staff all very friendly, but somewhat limited with English. With the lights off during the day it didn’t always feel the most cosy of retreats, but there was some more comfortable seating by the window in the bar. Drink prices are reasonable and always served properly chilled. There was a mixed experience with glasses being provided for the bottled beer and whether a bowl of nuts was brought though. The restaurant has a decent enough menu selection, and all the dishes looked great in terms of presentation. Wanting something smaller I opted for the Lagon burger and while it was tasty it was strange to receive without the complete bun! Flavour was great though, portion size good for the price and overall enjoyable with the service. Checking out was a seamless experience, with bags taken care of and a quick organisation of a taxi to the airport. There’s a small amount of seating in the lobby if you do need to wait for any reason and the location of the hotel was nice for a first time visit to the city. It’s an easy walk to the centre and being on the coast has some other good options. The staff are great, even though I struggled not being great French, and for the sea views the rooms are brilliant. Some decorating wouldn’t go amiss to bring it up to the four-star expectation but it would still be a consideration for me on a future city visit.

    Lagon 2 is a nice and cozy hotel located on the beautiful cornice of Dakar, just few meters from Plateau. The hotel is designed in the shape of a boat, the rooms look like luxurious cabins with African touch and breath-taking view. October 2016

    An OK hotel on the ocean, nice restaurant and bar, but the older rooms really do need an update as they are aging not very well. Great views from the rooms of the ocean.

  • 3/5 Malaika B. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    I love the room. It's very comfortable. However, there are always water problems. Sometimes the water is brown, freezing cold, or rattling like the shower head looks like it has a seizure. It made me scream it was going everywhere. But the food is very good here and the service is great too.
