“Great place to stay, an oasis in Dakar. It's a beautiful guesthouse in a quiet street outside the centre. The rooms are nicely decorated, also the common areas are very tasteful and the whole place is very pleasant. There is a nice little terrace and a garden with a clean and refreshing pool. The (French) breakfast is very good, with croissants, bread, fruit, coffee and juice, or eggs if you like. A special thanks goes to the staff - the whole team is very kind and helpful, they helped me to organise taxis, order food and generally find my way around. It's been my 3rd time in the guesthouse and I will definitely return! The WiFi can be a bit wobbly at times.”

“The staff were absolutely incredible, the property is beautiful, and the rooms are amazing! Location is a bit far from main attractions, but otherwise not a single bad thing.”

“Tranquil and beautiful Guesthouse in the north of Dakar. Beautifully designed and decorated guest house. I enjoyed the breakfast in the garden, a clean room with terrace and a good view and the swimming pool was in perfect condition. The location is good, close to the ocean so the air is always fresh and not too hot. The owner is very attentive and kind. She gave me tips and recommendations. I was happy with everything.”
