Hôtel Le Djoloff

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.

Very neat hotel , Close to the city, beaches, and shopping

style and good customer service, traditional way to show the real style of unique tradition of djoloff

While the terrace is lovely, room 20 should absolutely not be rented out. There is a sewage problem in the shower drain and the room smells toxic. The staff clearly knew about it yet acted as if they did not. There was no apology, there was no discount. The curtains are also quite sheer and the hallway light kept turning on and off all night, which made it hard to sleep, on top of the general noise level of the hotel. While I might go to a concert there or eat on the terrace, I would never sleep there again.

The only complaint I have is the lack of hot water. Otherwise, it was perfect.

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.

great location, great food, great music ...hotel can be a bit nosy but I was in low season and work was being done so probably why...
