"Had a great 4 night stay. Very courteous and friendly staff at Ibis. My flight was early and they were able to accommodate me with an early check in. The room was on the small side but very clean and comfortable. I would definately reccomend."

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel from the moment that we arrived the staff went out of their way to find ways to help us to enjoy our stay and particularly Aliou and Babou (excuse the spelling).
I would highly recommend this hotel for a short stay in Dakar, but for a longer stay e.g. 4 days+ our room was a bit tight for 3 people. Overall a great experience"

"Great staff and a good breakfast buffet. Hotel is in a rough looking neighborhood but I walked all over without issue and saw other foreigners doing the same. Plenty of food options and easy access to the cultural sites. The fitness center isn't much so don't factor that into your decision to pick this place. Hotel is great if you are looking for a location to explore on foot with plenty of budget dining options."

If you're looking for a hotel in Dakar, this is your best choice. The Wakola team -- particularly Mr Diallo and Florentin (at the restaurant -- are the kindest, most generous, and most welcoming hotel staff I've ever experienced. The hotel is clean and beautiful, and has everything you could possibly need. Mr Diallo goes well out of his way to help you, including answering any questions or making any arrangements on WhatsApp beforehand. The free breakfast is wonderful, and dinner at the rooftop...

excellent facilities and service. hard to think of how it could be bettered.
it helps to reserve a place for the sunday buffet lunch as this can get crowded.

The evening staff at reception and especially Mohamed made my stay perfect. They were so helpful in many ways such as finding me a taxi for a decent and honest fare. The day time staff at reception seemed less helpful. Not as welcoming and not recommending reasonable taxi fares. Mohamed was exceptional though. Super friendly and also the evening staff who helped me connect my laptop to the WiFi and made me complimentary drinks.

Hotel well maintained and in excellent central position for visiting Goree Island and African Civilization Museum.
Breakfast was well provided for, staff helpful.
Small niggle - though I booked a standard room it did say it came with balcony and it felt somewhat claustrophobic without one. I was too tired to mention this to staff on first day and as I had only booked for a few days I let it ride.

Hotel was very good with very large rooms. Room were clean and hotel was very quiet compared to the vibrant streets of Dakar. I used to stay in the center of Dakar but this was quite lovely. Hotel staff were very polite and friendly but need to be more engaging to guests. Breakfast was good but need improvement. Coffee station was almost empty and I can have only one cup for 3 times I went for breakfast. Besides it was all good and will love to stay there again.

This is an excellent hotel where they strive to maintain very high standards. The staff are particularly pleasant and always call you by name . I will recommend this hotel to anyone without hesitation.

Hotel Boma was wonderful - stylish, modern, clean and relaxing with good wifi. The best part however was the amazing staff particularly the reception and restaurant. I fell ill in the middle of my trip and was cared for like a family member. Profoundly grateful for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown. Highly recommend this lovely spot in Dakar

This is not the first time I am staying at this hotel and each time is better than the previous one. The location is excellent to relax in front of the beach after a long day of work and also many restaurants near by. the staff is fantastic and the quality of the breakfast is super with many choices. definately recommand this hotel.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. First of all the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. The room was great, good shower, nice size, fridge and kettle, both much appreciated. Perfectly located for the places I wanted to visit in Dakar. Loads of fresh produce at breakfast, including a very tasty bean dish. The pool area was a perfect oasis from the business of down town Dakar. Loved it!

Our Family Room could use a little refreshing, but aside from that, our stay was absolutely perfect.
The breakfast and lunch kitchen teams were exceptionally kind and attentive, and the reception staff were equally welcoming and professional. I also needed to work during my stay, and the internet connection was excellent — fast, stable, and very reliable, which made a real difference. Food was also diverse and very good.
