We stayed at the Djoloff for almost two weeks during a month-long trip to Senegal. The staff is sooo friendly and helpful, especially Mamadou at the front desk. Madame Ferrie, who runs the restaurant at the Djoloff, really made our stay special and the kitchen staff worked hard to accommodate our needs. They even made special cakes for us for... More

Lovely hotel with a pleasant open-air restaurant. The suite my daughter and I occupied was spotless. Staff is friendly and honest. However, for a non-French speaking guest, even simple requests at the front desk become exciting opportunities for miscommunication. As long as you or a member of your traveling party speaks the language, you'll love this hotel.

The hotel is fine and the roof terrace is quite pretty. I was disappointed to find my room full of mosquitoes when I arrived. I recommend that you request a room with screens and with mosquito netting around the bed. To their credit, the staff did try to make reparations.

First time in Dakar and thus Djollof is my only hotel experience. I chose it because tripadvisor reviews have been glowing. However I found the hotel to be an oddity. Be careful if you book and pre-pay a comfort double. You may be taken to a regular double as we were and then have to struggle to get the message... More

First time in Dakar and this place was recommended, I was not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and eager to help with restaurant suggestions and setting up taxis. The room was very charming with a comfy bed and nice TV. The bar/restaurant on the roof was cute but over priced. Not the cheapest place to stay by any means... More

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Hotel Djoloff. Thank you Hotel Djoloff! Excellent staff, clean rooms, delicious food and very accessible to the Corniche. Very close to restaurants and taxicabs. The owner was very friendly and we were able to stay past checkout time for an evening flight. Would highly recommend this hotel!

We had an absolutely brilliant stay at Hotel Djoloff and could not have been better looked after. The hotel is lovely with a very stylish, comfortable feel, a delicious restaurant and service that really makes it stand out. From working out how to recuperate our luggage lost by the airline to helping us get around in spite of a taxi... More

Thank you Hotel Le Djoloff! I've stayed at the Le Meridien and Les Almadies in Dakar for business and Hotel Djoloff is by far the best! I loved the Moroccon style decor with clean rooms, balconies and functioning Internet! Staff was helpful and friendly and even let me stay well past checkout time so I could freshen up before my...

Came to Dakar for business and was supposed to stay at the Meridien, but it was fully booked (thankfully) and the Almadies next to it sounded dreadful (and, I can assure you, it is). The more modest-sized Djoloff, on the other hand, is a really nice hotel. The staff is charming, the rooms are a good size, cool (air-conditioned), clean... More

This hotel is wonderful - it is affordable, has a great location right off the Corniche (ocean front) with views from the rooftop restaurant, close to downtown as well, very nice and polite staff, a decent restaurant even if it is a bit overpriced, and most stunningly - the gorgeous decor. It helps to have a comfortable and pristinely clean... More
