I stayed at the Sokhamon for slightly over a month on business in Dakar, along with a few colleagues. While at first I found the hotel a bit weird ('quirky' gone wrong), the place really did grow on me. If you're looking for something that is entirely NOT a typical western business hotel (e.g., Radisson Blu), this is the place... More

With our family we stayed 3 nights and we were very happy here. We had spacious clean rooms with magnificent ocean view and panorama on Island Madeleine... The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was more than correct! The panoramic open bar area is a pleasant place to drink the apero late afternoon before dinner. The magnificent sunset you... More

Sokhamon means "if you only knew" from the outside it might look strange, but once you go down al the stairs and you see the magnificent view, you understand why it's called Sokhamon. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was simple but very fresh with warm croissants and fresh fruits and good coffee. The rooms were not... More

I checked in to this hotel in August 2012. Firstly the reception was matter of fact and not friendly. The room was dark with almost no natural light. There was small blood stains on the sheets. No shower curtain so the floor becomes dangerous after a shower. The handle on the bathroom door was broken so it was difficult to... More

I initally reserved this hotel for 3 nights but stayed only for a few hours(!) as things simply started to look hopeless. This is the only time in my life I have checked out from a hotel even before the first night. The term "boutique hotel" is kinda stupid, but calling this hotel like that is almost hilarious. The building... More

This hotel is very basic, and has few redeeming qualities. On the positive side: - The hotel is on the coast, and has a good view over the coast and ocean. - The lady bar manager is very friendly and helpful. - A complementary 1.5 litre bottle of water was in my room - The room was huge - I...

This is one of the best hotels I have been to recently. It was very clean. Members of staff were very helpful. I like the care and attention given by the management. I was also very impressed by the standard of cleanliness. I had some problems with the e-mail service within my room. I was taken to an office where... More

This hotel is the best place for a sundowner in Dakar and I think a great place to stay. Get a room facing the sea and the view is stunning when you go onto your balcony in the morning or at night and listen to the waves hitting the shore. It has a swimming pool which is salt water and... More

Nice first impression and funky design but woken up early in the morning by construction work from the neighbouring building and it continued all day. It was a shame as it looked like a great hotel to spend a few days chilling. Limited food menu as well... same 2 options for lunch and dinner.
