Hotel Sokhamon

I absolutely love Hôtel Sokhamon and its proximity to the Daniel Sorano Theater, where I attended an organized dance intensive by the National Ballet of Senegal. I was able to walk safely to and from the theater and appreciated being near the Auchan supermarket. The pool was refreshing on hot days. The hotel has beautiful architecture and has an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean. It was very nice watching and hearing the ocean waves in the morning and night. The breakfast of tea, juice, yogurt, bread and croissants was fulfilling and was promptly delivered to my room after calling the front desk.It was my third time staying at the hotel, and I’ll be back! I highly recommend the hotel.

The location and uniqueness

Overall cleanliness is below par, and the equipment is old and rusty. Old abd used bed sheets in most rooms.

The room was spacious and the facilities were decent. Moreover, it's located right on the water, with lovely views of the ocean and offshore islands. It's also very close to some nice areas of the city like the African art museum and the neighborhoods surrounding the presidential palace. The staff were very nice, esp. the one who serves breakfast.

There were two main issues. First, my room's windows did not have screens, and they did not completely shut, either. So, I was afraid that insects or even rodents (I saw a huge rat a few blocks away) might get into the room. Fortunately when I requested it the staff gave me some mosquito netting (I wasn't able to get vaccinated for yellow fever, so this was rather concerning). Second, and related to this first issue, the entire hotel appears to have passed its prime, and feels almost as if it's been abandoned. There were very few guests, and the large restaurant and lounges were empty (and not serving anything). Of course, that made it very quiet and peaceful, but also a little eerie.

I'll not be trying there or recommending it subsequently

Pictures online are not representattive of actual hotel architecture. The stairs are very steep, and no provisions for lift. I feel clients would make informed decision if these details are added. It's an unnecessary exercise and taxis are not allowed in

Interesting architectural features and decor.Excellent location and friendly staff.

The only evening food available was a 30,000 CFA buffet when I only wanted a small meal.The WiFi did not work in the room or on the outdoor terrace

uniquely decorated grand hotel reminiscent of a glorious Las Vegas era in the 1980sthe swimming pool is great

What an absolutely wonderful apartment, so full of spirit with a delightful and extremely helpful staff. This will always be my hotel in Dakar from now on.

Nothing!

The scenery is superb

Lack of restaurant

Very good
