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.

His request to front desk staff for assistance locating the bag was met with total disinterest. After looking for it all over the place, he asked to speak to the manager and expressed... More

I have been in the kitchen and saw lot of beetles, everithing is made for saving, not for guests. Very expensive too. Do not go

I stayed here for one night on March 1, 2009. You should know that there is lots of construction going on. The deck facing the ocean is still being worked on. Worse, there is a large building being erected next door. This construction starts early (as you can imagine), there is a large crane in place and it looks as... More

I've always thought the dearth of good hotels in Dakar is bizarre given its hub status in west Africa and site of one of the only African airports to fly directly to the US. Many smaller and more dilapidated capitals have much better individual hotels. So the Sokhaman is a new and welcome addition. The location - overlooking the sea... More

A very pleasant hotel right on the ocean in a very nice neighborhood (near many embassies). It is away from the craziness of Place de l'Independence, but close enough to walk there. The decor is funky, artsy and the room I had was very comfortable. Rooms facing the patio are noisy since this is an area used for large gatherings... More
