Hotel berhampiran International Baptist Church of Dakar, Dakar

For the price, I expected average. This hotel is amazing. Gym, restaurant, cityscape view, and 5-star service. It’ in the center of the city so easy access to everything. Highly recommend if you’ll be doing lots of touring. Would definitely stay here again.

I made the mistake of allowing my tour operator to book two nights at Onomo Hotel in Dakar. You’ll be sorry if you stay here. If you want a room… -that has no tea, sugar, cup, glass, a dirty electric kettle that is black at the base and pours black specks, book your stay here. -where you make 6 trips to the Front Desk to try to fix a broken a/c, book your stay here. -that has a broken a/c and 6 agents tell you it’s not broken, book your stay here. If you want to see roaches running around on the floor in the walkway, book your stay here. If you want a hotel agent to tell you that to warm up your room, open the window—at night when it is colder outside than your room, book your stay here. Only one of the 6 hotel agents finally explained that there are three temperature options in the room—Fan, Heat, Cold. The numbers on the thermostat are meaningless. All other 5 hotel agents fiddled with numbers on the thermostat as if it was a real thermostat. In my room, the thermostat was stuck at Cold. None of the 5 agents had any idea how to troubleshoot a broken thermostat. I advised the front desk agent Yanique at 5.30pm, 7.30pm, 8.30pm and 9pm that I needed tea, sugar, a cup. He arrived at 9.53pm, woke me up to deliver them. He offered no apology. The hotel agent offered me a new room. After not sleeping for two nights because the room was so cold, I accepted the offer and shuddered at the thought of packing up my stuff at 4am on the second night. He checked the computer, wrote down several numbers. He then knocked on two room doors and wake up TWO guests at 4.45am! Stay out of here if you want a good nights’ sleep!

Well, I went there last week with some friends after hearing a lot of good stuff about this place. Our expectations were exceeded literally. Enjoyable atmosphere, exquisite food and a nice view. We got a great customer service from our friend Catherine who took good care of us after leaving the pool. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks for this wonderful experience we had a blast!

On the date of my arrival (May 20, 2024, at 8am) the receptionist who attended to me was rude, rude, unavailable and very aggressive. She did not provide me with information regarding access to the room, she refused to insist on my payment via Visa credit card, she refused to clearly write her name so that I could report her bad behavior. The room I stayed in did not correspond to my reservation instructions through HRS (from the World Bank), it did not have a view of the sea or pool. The mattress was extremely soft, without comfort, which prevented me from sleeping well, I needed a more rigid/orthopedic mattress, as I was at work and it is very important to be able to rest well and wake up without back pain. It was not a pleasant experience at all.

Zu einem für Dakar günstigen Preis bei Buchung via Internet hatte ich mich für 3 Nächte im Hotel JARDIN SAVANA eingemietet. Hotel Der eingeschossige Bau ist älteren Datums, ruhig und ohne Verkehrslärm in einem großen, parkähnlichen Garten direkt am Meer gelegen, wegen der Hanglage jedoch mit vielen Treppen. Sehr hilfsbereiter Rezeptionist. Taxen vor dem Hotel. Zimmer Mein Zimmer (321), NR, DZ als EZ, war zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Möbel zwar schon mit Gebrauchsspuren, aber sauber. Gute Matratze im kingsize bed, ausreichend Stauraum für einen Kurzurlaub, Safe, Minibar, Sitzecke, Schreibtisch, TV (nicht genutzt), Telefon (defekt), genügend Steckdosen und Lichtquellen, verdunkelbare Fenster, AC, Wlan frei – auch im Außenbereich – jedoch nicht immer stabil. 1 Fl. Wasser/täglich. Leider total versiffter Teppichboden. Der sollte dringendst ausgetauscht werden, am besten durch Fliesen. Möblierter Balkon mit Blick auf Pool und Meer. Bad Wannenbad (mit sehr hohem Einstieg) mit Regendusche, geringer Wasserdruck, Bad/WC gut ausgeleuchtet, Körperpflegeartikel etc. Tägliche Reinigung und Wäschewechsel. Aufmerksamer roomboy. Frühstück Für senegales. Verhältnisse umfangreich, jedoch weit entfernt von kontinentalem Frühstück, sehr kuchenlastig, frisches Obst, kl. Auswahl an Wurst und Käse, leider nur gekochte Eier, kein Rührei oder andere Variationen, Tee, Kaffeeautomat, Milch, Säfte, Wasser. Vermisst habe ich persönlich Joghurt. Anders als in den anderen Bereichen des Hotels ist der Service hier sehr muffig und desinteressiert. Pool Großer Pool mit kleinen Mängeln (Fliesen fehlen), Liegen, Sonnenschirme und Handtuch kostenlos. Der Pool steht auch externen Besuchern zur Verfügung, z.B. für Wassergymnastik, Schwimmunterricht etc. oder einfach nur als Spaßbad. Da kommt es zu Engpässen: keine freien Liegen/keine Handtücher. Bedenklich in meinen Augen im Hinblick auf die Hygiene, daß auch sog. Pampas-Babys mit in den Pool genommen werden. Poolbar Gute Cocktails etc, Möglichkeiten zum Essen nach Karte, sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service (Planters Punch sehr zu empfehlen) Restaurant Open Air Restaurant - direkt am Meer gelegen, leider sehr schlecht besucht. Ausreichend große Karte, Umsetzung ok., man darf keine Geschmacksexplosionen erwarten. Gambas topp, Languste schwarz gegrillt. Aufmerksames Personal, besonders Almany und der Koch fielen mir angenehm auf. Strand Privater Strand vorhanden, den ich aber tunlichst gemieden habe. Fazit Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Ich habe mich wohlgefühlt.

Great location, very clean and professional. Employees are also super friendly. I would suggest to the managers to developp a ”culture” of tips (ei; puting an envelopp in the rooms so clients can show their appréciation of the cleaning, add the option for tips in the interac machines used at the restaurant on the fort floor,etc.) so the employees get increased working conditions.

Hotels are supposed to be your home away from home, and in the 10 years I have been traveling, mostly Africa, 34 African countries, and counting, this has been true until King Fahd. My stay in each country is an average of 3 weeks. I get to know the staff and begin to feel welcome and comfortable; there are always small things, but they generally work out with the help of a willing and able staff. This hotel is convenient to work, and as its website boasts, caters to the business clientele, and has WI-FI, if I come back to Senegal, I will stay somewhere else and make do with the traffic. The housekeeping staff at King Fahd will try to accommodate you, and they do as well as possible, given the rules, but the rooms don’t get much of deep cleaning. The view can also be grand, but you have to ask specifically for a room with a view. Ms Khady Diatta at the front desk is always warm and welcoming very professional and made any front desk transaction seamless. Sadly she is but one. King Fahd is uncomfortable from the beginning, you get some help but not without having to beg for help/service from 3-4 different people. They are the most untrained “hospitality” staff I have encountered, and they will tell you what they think you want to hear, not the truth. Zero communication amongst staff. The WI-FI will not work for hours to days, but they will be surprised when you tell them it is not working if you complain to enough people; in my case, 5 people in one day. They sent two people in the AM to confirm the trouble with WI-FI, but they were not IT, and nothing came of it. I Spoke 2 times to the manager (Fatou Naiaye), 2 hours apart, and she told me they had hotspots available. I have never been more uncomfortable after interacting with a manager than with this manager, who became angry, just short of yelling at me after I tried to explain my frustration with the many things promised but unavailable in this hotel. The restaurant for breakfast is a whole other YUCK; the same wet sponge is used to “clean” the table and mat, swipe the mat, but there is a layer of forearm sweat lingering on the tables that, even after I pointed out made the server giggle and made no more effort to clean. There is no spray disinfectant for cleaning. That said, if you show up to breakfast after 7:00 AM, on my first Sunday, they haven’t rid up the tables or reset them, so you have to go look for flatware and napkins as well as a spot to eat, and they literally ask you what you are looking for!! Same breakfast food every day for three weeks. This is when I decided I couldn’t eat in there just take bananas and yogurt; I tried to leave with two pieces of bread on a plate and yogurt with a spoon to my room but was chased down by Maître ď, who took my plate and spoon, now with two pieces of bread in fist and yogurt back to the room. Apparently, the restaurant manager will not allow flatware or plates/bowls to leave unless it is room service. The rooms are musty and damp, even th

You'll feel very comfortable during your stay. The rooms are clean, the staff are super friendly, and the food is amazing! There is a beautiful pool with lounge chairs & towels. There's a decently size gym and spa. They offer shuttles from the airport to hotel upon request so I recommend emailing the hotel to provide your flight info prior to arrival.
